SCF Errata

This page tracks every change to the Secure Controls Framework (SCF) since the first public release in 2018.

The SCF started with 747 controls across 32 domains. As new laws, regulations and frameworks came out, the SCF added controls, domains and mappings to keep up with them. Each release below lists what was added, renamed, reworded or retired.

If you are moving from an older version, start with your current release and read forward to see what changed.

Growth Over Time

How The SCF Has Grown

Each chart covers every release from 2018.1 to the current release. Choose what to look at: total controls, the laws, regulations and frameworks the SCF maps to, how many of those have a published Set Theory Relationship Mapping (STRM), or how each domain has grown.

The charts are drawn from the release list on this page.
