Building Custom Frameworks

• From the left-hand navigation panel, select Frameworks
• The Frameworks page will showcase current progress for frameworks your organization is adhering to and provide additional information for Vanta's available frameworks
• From the Frameworks page, select + Add a Framework
• Complete the information from the pop-up modal
• When uploading files, keep the following information in mind:
  • The column names must be in the format of Section ID, Section Name, Section Description, Parent Section ID, and Control IDs. 

The column values are validated against the following:

• Section ID: must be non-empty and unique
• Section Name: must be non-empty and unique
• Section Description: no restrictions
• Parent Section ID: Must point to another section ID
• Control IDs: The IDs of the custom controls to list under this section
• Section Type: Mark any parent sections explicitly as parents by filling in p. Rows left blank will be auto-populated as c and be considered child sections
   
  • Parent sections cannot have control ids mapped to them or parent sections of their own
  • For a custom framework upload to have a parent layer, at least one section must be marked as a parent during upload. Otherwise, it will turn into a custom framework with only child sections and no parent sections
  • In a Framework with a Parent section, all child sections must have a parent section mapped to them

• Capitalization differences are allowed
• No extra white space is permitted
• All columns are required, but Section Description, Parent Section ID, and Control IDs can be empty. Controls can be mapped to sections later on manually

• Once the information has been completed, select Next

• From here, you will be asked to preview the Framework.
• Select Import

• The new custom framework will now be a tile available for viewing, editing, and monitoring from the Frameworks page

Adding Additional Custom Controls 

• Find the custom framework you want to edit from the Frameworks page and select View Details. 
• Select + Create New Control

or

• Choose from the custom controls you want to add to your custom framework
• From the Mapped frameworks section, select Add
• Add the desired Framework to be mapped back to this control
