If you manage two or more compliance frameworks chances are you've noticed some common controls across your frameworks. Instead of duplicating your work and managing the same control in two different places, you can simply manage the control in one program and reuse it in another. Anything that's linked to the control applies to both programs.
Things to keep in mind
You can mix and match new and existing controls in the same import file.
For each row that references an existing control, make sure that the control ID field contains the Hyperproof ID for that control. If the Hyperproof import finds an existing control with a matching ID, it will link it to the requirement(s) specified in the Maps to requirement field and discard the rest of the fields in the row.
Below is an example where the first three rows contain new controls, and the remaining two rows reference existing Hyperproof controls:
