The ultimate goal in adopting a framework is to instill an attitude within the organization embodying a controls approach and improve the performance of compliance management within the organization. The adoption of a framework should not be just an infusion of "academic models" into the organization's processes. These frameworks are built on experience and validated approaches. Frameworks help lay the foundation by articulating a clear approach based on a broad range of inputs and experiences. A validated, time-tested foundation gives the organization confidence in its roots of compliance management. Furthering those frameworks into a context-sensitive, organization-aware approach for the business extends the framework to fit the internal processes and requirements. This can be done by a unified approach of policies, standards, and controls driven by a framework but customized for the organization. This approach will transform the implementation of a framework from mimicking other organizations into a truly focused program built to mature and evolve with the organization.
