What you get
Built for organizations that need to demonstrate compliance — not just talk about it.
Continuous Compliance Posture
Track control implementation status, evidence gaps, and remediation progress in real time — not just at audit time.
Audit-Ready Evidence
Organize and link supporting evidence directly to controls and requirements so your team is always prepared for assessments and audits.
One control. Multiple compliance requirements.
Different laws, regulations, frameworks, and contractual requirements often reference the same underlying security objectives. NorthStar connects those requirements to a common control foundation, so the work you do can support multiple obligations at the same time.

Why it matters
Compliance requirements overlap. Your work shouldn't have to.
Most organizations subject to regulatory compliance face overlapping requirements across multiple frameworks. HIPAA, NIST SP 800-53, TX-RAMP, CMMC, and SOC 2 all reference similar underlying security controls — but without a unified approach, teams end up duplicating effort across every framework they're subject to.
NorthStar's control foundation connects requirements across frameworks to a common set of controls. Implement the control once. Satisfy every requirement it maps to.
