## CISO Assistant — Product Documentation

CISO Assistant is an open-source GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) platform — a different take on cybersecurity posture management, built on a few load-bearing ideas:

* Explicitly decoupling compliance from security-operations implementation.
* Providing simplified tools for decision-making.
* Assessing a program, product, or whole organisation against standard frameworks.
* Letting you bring your own framework via a simplified DSL.
* Acting as a one-stop shop for the Governance, Risk, and Compliance layers.
