# Enable and Configure Frameworks

Enabling and configuring frameworks in Sprinto lets you align your compliance efforts with industry standards, regulatory requirements, or internal policies. You can choose from predefined frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, or create a custom framework tailored to your business.
