The PolicyCo platform allows for highly relational associations between articles and controls. Associating a control back to a specific article allows you to be certain that your policy language matches your compliance objectives. A single control can be linked to any number of articles and any number of controls can be linked to a single article. This is especially powerful when you consider that your linked controls can come from many different compliance frameworks.
By default, within the platform, PolicyCo will set the labels to Articles and Frameworks. However, this label is dynamic and can be updated to Requirements and Regulations in the Settings to meet industry terminology standards. For the purposes of this user guide, the terms Article and Framework will be used.
