Setup New Workspace

Overview

A Workspace in Cywift represents an independent tenant where compliance frameworks, controls, risks, users, and reports are managed separately.

Organizations use workspaces to manage different departments, clients, subsidiaries, or regulatory scopes within the same Cywift instance.

Only authorized Admin users can create or manage workspaces.

Control Setup (Important)

This section defines how controls are created in the workspace.

Available Options

1. Create tenant without controls

‍

2. Inherit controls from Default Tenant

• Copies existing controls from the default Cywift tenant

Useful when:

• You want standard baseline controls
• Maintaining consistency across workspaces
• Faster setup with predefined controls

Description

Explain:

• What the workspace does
• How it operates
• Its business or compliance purpose

Associated Frameworks

You can:

• Select frameworks manually (ISO 27001, SOC2, PCI-DSS, etc.)

• Select an existing company
• Frameworks will auto-populate

This helps standardize compliance across workspaces.
