Custom Compliance Framework Bulk Upload is a new feature that allows organizations to personalize their view of regulatory controls and best practices. Now, when handling a compliance framework with a large number of controls, you can upload the content quickly and easily to get the insights your organization needs.
In this guide, we'll walk you through uploading a .csv file with the information and format required to move you quickly through the custom compliance process.
Formatting your bulk-upload .csv
Let’s start with the format needed to work with the feature:
- The file will need to use the .csv format (file.csv)
- The .csv file should be formatted with semicolons (;) as the column delimiter.
- There should be no header row in the .csv file.
- Column requirements:
-
Column 1: The first column is required and should contain the key identifier for each control. Example:
- 1.1
-
Column 2: The second column is required and should contain the name of each control. Example:
- Establish and Maintain Detailed Enterprise Asset Inventory
-
Column 3: The third column is optional and may contain a description for each control. You can leave it blank if there is no description. Example:
- Establish and maintain an accurate, detailed, and up-to-date inventory …
-
Column 1: The first column is required and should contain the key identifier for each control. Example:
- Here's an example of the correct file format:
|
Control Key 1;Control Name 1;Description Control 1; Control Key 2;Control Name 2;Description Control 2; Control Key 3;Control Name 3;; |
Important: Each row of the .csv file requires 3 semicolons (;) even if you don't include the optional description field. Also, make sure there are no empty lines at the end.
- It might look like this:
|
1.1;Establish and Maintain Detailed Enterprise Asset Inventory;Establish and maintain an accurate, detailed, and up-to-date inventory; 1.2;Address Unauthorized Assets;Ensure that a process exists to address unauthorized assets; 1.3;Utilize an Active Discovery Tool;; |
