# Secure Controls Framework (SCF)
Retrieved March 31, 2022 from [SCF website](https://www.securecontrolsframework.com/secure-controls-framework):

> The Secure Controls Framework (SCF) is a comprehensive catalog of controls that is designed to enable companies to design, build and maintain secure processes, systems and applications. The SCF addresses both cybersecurity and privacy, so that these principles are designed to be “baked in” at the strategic, operational and tactical levels.
> 
> In developing the SCF, we identified and analyzed over 100 statutory, regulatory and contractual frameworks. Through analyzing these thousands of requirements, we identified commonalities and this allows several thousand unique controls to be addressed by the controls that makeup the SCF. For instance, a requirement to maintain strong passwords is not unique, since it is required by dozens of frameworks. This allows one well-worded SCF control to address multiple requirements. This focus on simplicity and sustainability is key to the SCF, since it can enable various teams to speak the same controls language, even though they may have entirely different statutory, regulatory or contractual obligations that they are working towards.
