Frameworks that satisfy it
Questions we get
Is there a single DHA control count like ADHICS?
Not one published number; the duties are spread across the policy, the consent and access standards, NABIDH terms and, for some entities, DESC. We map all of them onto one control set so the count stops mattering.
Summary for orientation, with attribution to the regulator, last checked September 2026. The regulator's own publications govern; consult them and your advisers for decisions. Where this page and the instrument differ, follow the instrument and tell us, so we can fix it.
A note on authority: the regulator, auditor or certifying body has the final say on whether you comply. Much regulator language is still being clarified, and we say so rather than guess. We help interpret the requirements, scope what applies to you, gap-assess against what is published today, and keep you compliance-ready and secure as the guidance evolves. We hold no regulatory authority and do not certify; where a regulator has its own process, that process governs.
