# Frameworks

Pump Secure supports 39 compliance and security frameworks. You choose which frameworks to activate, and Pump runs the corresponding checks against your AWS environment. A single check can map to multiple frameworks, so activating additional frameworks does not necessarily increase scan time.

### Browsing and Activating Frameworks

To manage your active frameworks:

1. Navigate to **Secure** in the Pump sidebar.
2. Click **Manage** next to the "Frameworks" heading at the top of the dashboard.
3. The framework picker opens, showing all 39 available frameworks with toggle switches.
4. Enable the frameworks you want to scan against, then click **Save**.

The **AWS Well-Architected Framework** is enabled by default and marked as "Recommended." You can disable it or add any combination of the other 38 frameworks.

Changes take effect on the next scan cycle. New frameworks will show results once the next scan completes.

| Pump Pentest for AWS | A Pump-curated set of security checks focused on common AWS misconfigurations that would be flagged in a penetration test. This is a compliance-check framework, not an active penetration test. |

### How Frameworks Relate to Checks

Each framework consists of a set of checks. Many checks appear across multiple frameworks. For example, a check like "Ensure no security groups allow ingress from 0.0.0.0/0 to MySQL port 3306" might map to CIS Controls, AWS Well-Architected, MITRE ATT\&CK, and others simultaneously.

In the findings table, the **Frameworks affected** column shows which of your active frameworks each check maps to. This helps you prioritize: a finding that affects five active frameworks is typically more urgent than one that affects a single framework.

### Choosing Frameworks

If you are not sure which frameworks to activate, start with the **AWS Well-Architected Framework** (enabled by default). It provides broad coverage of AWS security best practices without being tied to a specific regulatory requirement.

Add additional frameworks based on your compliance obligations:

| If you need to comply with     | Activate                                             |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| SOC 2 audit requirements       | SOC 2                                                |
| HIPAA for healthcare data      | HIPAA                                                |
| PCI DSS for payment processing | PCI 3.2.1 or PCI 4.0 (depending on your audit cycle) |
| US federal requirements        | FedRAMP Low or Moderate, NIST 800 53, CISA           |
| EU data protection             | GDPR                                                 |
| ISO certification              | ISO 27001 2022                                       |
| General security hardening     | CIS Controls 3.0 or 6.0, MITRE ATT\&CK               |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.pump.co/pump-secure/frameworks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
