In the latest release, we are introducing a new Compliance Module with three beta features. These features provide a preview of the direction we're heading with the tool. As these are still under development, we welcome general feedback on their design and functionality. Both the Report Designer and Policy Editor include built-in print functionality.
In this version, frameworks are presented as a checklist of well-known legal requirements and best practice standards that your organization can aim to comply with. Currently, selecting a framework simply makes its name available as a tag that can be applied to tasks and measures.
In future releases, we aim to offer predefined tasks and controls with references linked to each framework. We’re open to suggestions on how this should be structured.
Example: Tagging measures with frameworks and control references

This beta feature allows you to build custom reports using text and dashboard widgets. The purpose is to let you create reusable report templates that update automatically as work is completed in the platform.
You can create and save templates to use in future assessments or follow-up work. The report designer uses the same widget setup as your dashboard, with added support for text descriptions using Markdown formatting:
# H1
## H2
### H3
Example: Report designer interface

This feature lets you build and manage internal policies and guidelines directly in Diri. The goal is to allow organizations to create and maintain policies, routines, and guidelines that can later be linked to roles, tasks, and measures in the system.
The current version offers a simple Markdown-based text editor where you can draft new policies, create templates, and reuse them as needed.

A more advanced editor is planned for a future release. For those unfamiliar with Markdown, we recommend checking out this Markdown cheat sheet.
Leading up to Easter, we plan to continue developing the Compliance Module and enriching its content. Additionally, we will be launching a new generic risk assessment module designed for use beyond cybersecurity and privacy, including support for threat and vulnerability assessments.
We look forward to your feedback as we continue improving the platform!
