The Common DNA of Compliance Frameworks
Why so many frameworks?
Behind every cybersecurity or privacy requirement such as CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, FedRAMP, HITRUST, lies a shared foundation of security and risk-management principles. Most "different" frameworks are actually different expressions of the same controls - born from the same source documents, such as the NIST Special Publications, ISO/IEC standards, and long-standing data-protection laws.
This page shows how those frameworks overlap and why preparing for one often accelerates readiness for others.

One Effort, Many Outcomes
Every framework speaks a slightly different language, but most share a common grammar, protecting data, managing risk, and proving responsibility. That's why DataHubz focuses on intelligent cross-mapping instead of siloed compliance. When you strengthen one domain, you advance several.
