Hi everyone! I’ve been using Secureframe for a few weeks to help with our SOC 2 prep, and I’m starting to wrap my head around the controls. But I’m feeling a bit lost on how to keep things organized as our team grows.
I saw the “tags” feature mentioned, and it seems like it could be a game-changer for assigning controls to different teams or services. Right now, everything feels like one big list, and it’s hard to see who’s responsible for what. For example, our dev team handles infrastructure controls, while HR owns the employee policy stuff.
Could someone walk me through how they’re practically using tags? I’m especially curious about:
* Do you tag by department (like “engineering,” “hr”) or by service (like “aws,” “slack”)?
* Can you filter views or reports based on these tags to only see what’s relevant to you?
* Any tips for setting up a tagging system from the start so it doesn’t get messy?
I just want to make sure we set this up clearly so everyone knows their part without getting overwhelmed. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Tag by both. Department tags assign ownership, service tags show scope. I use "team-engineering", "team-hr" and then "service-aws", "service-gsuite". Yes, you can filter reports by these.
Start with a strict naming convention now. Use prefixes like "team-" and "svc-" to keep them sortable. If you don't, you'll have a mess in three months.
The main view filter is key. Engineers can set it to show only "team-engineering" tags, HR sees theirs. It cuts out the noise immediately.
