Compliance Basics

What Are Controls?

Controls are the actions, policies, or tools you put in place to reduce risks and meet compliance requirements. Think of them as the guardrails that keep your organization on track—whether it’s encrypting data or training employees.

Jiku tracks your controls automatically, so you always know what’s working and what needs attention.

Why Controls Matter

Controls are the backbone of compliance. They show regulators, auditors, and customers that you’re serious about security and responsibility. Without controls, even the best plans can fall apart.

Types of Controls

Controls come in many forms, depending on your goals:
