Apptega includes over 30 frameworks like CMMC, NIST CSF, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. Apptega lets users create and manage custom frameworks.

Apptega users select a framework to design a program with tasking automation, risk management, third-party risk management, and audit prep. Apptega's platform is designed to accelerate compliance with the ISO 42001 framework. ISO 42001 is a standard for artificial intelligence management systems that focuses on governance. Apptega lets users implement and manage NIST 800-171 controls and crosswalk the framework with similar ones.[5][6][7][11]
