Why You May Need to Add Controls
Every organization is different — and while ComplyJet automatically configures a comprehensive standard control set for you, there are times when you may want to go beyond what’s provided.
For example:
You operate a physical office and need controls around visitor management or on-premise security
You maintain a self-hosted data center
You follow an industry-specific requirement that needs additional safeguards
You simply want to introduce more structure or documentation around your internal processes
In all such cases, ComplyJet allows you to easily add extra controls that match your unique environment while still keeping everything aligned with your compliance frameworks.
Accessing the Controls Page
To add a new control:
Go to Compliance > Controls in the left navigation.
This page shows all controls currently active for your organization.
To add more, click the “Add Control” button at the top right.
Selecting a Control to Add
After clicking Add Control, you’ll see a list of additional controls available from ComplyJet’s standard library.
This list includes all controls not yet added to your environment.
You can:
Browse the full set
Search by keyword (e.g., “physical security”, “data center”, “asset management”)
Click on any control to view its description and applicability
Once you find the control that fits your requirement, simply click Add.
Automatic Framework Mapping
As soon as a control is added:
ComplyJet automatically maps it to the appropriate framework criteria (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, etc.) based on our internal mapping engine.
This ensures the control contributes to your compliance posture immediately without requiring manual setup.
Manually Mapping the Control to Framework Requirements
If you want to further customize where a control appears:
Go to the Frameworks page.
Select the framework you want to update.
Click “Map Controls”.
Search for the newly added control and assign it to any requirements where you believe it is applicable.
This gives you complete flexibility to tailor your compliance program based on your environment and specific business practices.
⏱ Important: Framework Page May Take Time to Update
After adding a control, the Frameworks page may not update immediately.
Because ComplyJet uses caching to keep pages fast, it can take 5–10 minutes for the newly added control to appear under the relevant framework sections.
If you don’t see it right away, give it a few minutes and refresh.
Summary
Adding a new control helps you tailor your compliance program to your real-world environment — whether that includes physical offices, data centers, unique workflows, or expanded security requirements.
With ComplyJet, you can:
Add controls anytime
Search from a rich standard library
Automatically map controls to relevant frameworks
