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.
