If you’re working in cybersecurity today, you’ve probably felt the pressure of managing multiple compliance frameworks at once. It’s like trying to juggle while riding a unicycle: technically possible, but not exactly fun. Two frameworks that often end up on the same organization’s plate are ISO 27001 and the CMMC, and they can either work together beautifully or drive you absolutely crazy.

ISO 27001 is a comprehensive international standard that helps you build a solid information security management system from the ground up. It’s been around the block and has a pretty good reputation for keeping organizations secure. CMMC, on the other hand, is more focused in that it’s designed explicitly for defense contractors and suppliers who need to protect FCI and CUI.

Here’s the thing that keeps compliance teams up at night: these frameworks overlap in some areas but are completely different in others. You don’t want to duplicate work, but you also can’t afford compliance gaps. That’s where automapping comes in—think of it as your secret weapon for making these frameworks play nicely together.

This article explores security by design, why it matters, and how organizations can effectively implement it to protect their systems, data, and networks.
