# **What are Unified Controls?**

# **Why have the control counts on our Dashboard changed?**

The compliance Dashboard reflects the count of all Unified Controls. If you were a Thoropass customer before the launch of Unified Controls, your total control count has likely decreased because each Unified Control may account for multiple framework controls.

# **Do Unified Controls impact framework progress?**

No. If you were a Thoropass customer before the launch of Unified Controls, the control count displayed in the **Framework Health** dashboard may have changed, however, your framework progress has not been impacted.
