Abstract

Use a built-in industry standard, create a custom standard, or edit a custom standard.

You can use a built-in industry standard, create a custom standard, or edit a custom standard. A custom standard can be either a copy of a built-in standard or a custom standard created from scratch.

Cortex provides built-in industry approved regulatory compliance standards, for example GDPR. These standards cannot be edited or deleted, you can duplicate them to create a custom standard.

You can create a custom compliance standard that is tailored to your own business needs and organizational policies.

  1. In the Standards catalog, click Create Standard.

  2. Define compliance standard metadata, including:

    • Standard name

    • Description (optional)

    • Labels (optional)

  3. Click Next.

  4. Under Controls, assign one or more controls to the compliance standard.

    You can use the filter to search for a specific control. For more information about choosing a control, see Controls catalog.
