About Content Studio

The Content Studio lets you create your own custom content that can be used in the same way that you use Symantec-created content. Content consists of the regulations, frameworks, and control statements that underlie the policies that you create and publish. Custom content lets you fit the Symantec Control Compliance Suite Planning and Deployment Guide to your unique regulatory or framework needs.

You use the Content Studio in the Manage > Content view to create custom content.

The following custom content types can be created:

You can map control statements created by Symantec that are included with the Control Compliance Suite to the regulations or frameworks that you create. You can also map control statements you create to the regulations or frameworks that you create. You can also map to questions from the Response Assessment module or Standards.

After you have created your custom content, you can use this content in the Control Compliance Suite.

When you use the Symantec Content Studio, you can start from the high-level regulations or frameworks that you require. Alternatively, you can begin from the individual control statements, then build from control statements into regulations or frameworks. Normally, you start by carefully analyzing the regulation or framework to determine the control statements that are required. This analysis lets you reuse control statements in multiple sections of the regulation or framework.

After these pieces are in place, you map control statements, policies, standards, and questions to the regulations or frameworks that you created. When you are satisfied with new content, you can use it in Control Compliance Suite.
