Why create a private measure?
If none of the existing measures in our catalog match one of your internal security measures, you can create a private measure.
⚠️ Before creating a private measure, we strongly recommend contacting your Customer Success Manager (CSM):
Our catalog includes a wide range of public measures, it’s likely that one of them already fits your need.
Public measures are linked to all the policies in our catalog and allow you to track cross-framework compliance (multi-compliance).
Private measures are not linked to any public policies and therefore won’t appear in multi-compliance views.
Your CSM can help you:
find the closest public equivalent to your measure, or
share your request with our team so we can create a new public measure, if relevant to other organizations, so that it can be linked to different policies.
Steps to create a private measure
Click the gear icon at the top right of your screen.
Go to Catalog > Measures tab.
Click “Add a proposed measure”.
Fill in:
a name for your measure,
an ID (optional — it will be automatically generated if left empty),
and a category.
Declaring the implementation status
Once your private measure is created, hover over its row and use the options on the right:
Select “Implemented” if this measure is already in place in your organization, even if it's not fully efficient.
Select "Add implementation action" if it's not already in place, and you need to build from scratch.
🔎 You can repeat this step for each of your perimeters, but a measure cannot be marked as both implemented and in implementation on the same perimeter.
💡 Best practices
Always check the public measures catalog before creating a private measure.
Contact your CSM to make sure your measures are considered in your compliance tracking.
