# Use Policy and Compliance Management

Use the features and capabilities of the Policy and Compliance Management to create policies, control objectives, and controls, and map them to authoritative sources so you can assess and monitor compliance with regulations and industry guidelines.

Policy and Compliance Management provides a centralized process for creating and managing policies, standards, and internal control procedures that are cross‑mapped to external regulations and benchmarks. It supports creating policies and controls to consolidate requirements, and it enables users to map authoritative sources to policies, procedures, controls, and risks to maintain complete regulatory traceability.
