About CSE Registry
Open infrastructure for compliance signal interoperability, built for the community and free forever.
Our Mission
DataHubz created CSE Registry to advance compliance infrastructure for all organizations. We believe compliance should be accessible, standardized, and interoperable, not locked behind proprietary formats and vendor silos.
Our Vision
We envision a future where compliance becomes foundational infrastructure for all organizations. Where security tools speak the same language, findings translate seamlessly across frameworks, and organizations can focus on improving their security posture instead of reconciling incompatible data formats.
What is CSE?
CSE Registry provides a neutral, machine-readable common language for compliance signals. It defines over 1,100 canonical signals across 12 frameworks, with mappings that connect these signals to regulatory controls.
This enables security tools, GRC platforms, and compliance teams to communicate findings unambiguously, regardless of which tools generated them.
Open Source
All signals, mappings, and schemas are available under the Apache 2.0 license. Use them freely in commercial products.
Community First
The Community tier will be free forever. Compliance interoperability should be a public good, not a competitive advantage for any single vendor.
Subscription Funds Community
Revenue from Pro, Teams, and Enterprise subscriptions funds ongoing maintenance, expansion, and stewardship of the Community API.
Open by Design
CSE Registry is open source and the Community tier will be free forever. We believe that compliance interoperability should be a public good, not a competitive advantage for any single vendor.
When you subscribe to a paid plan, you are not just getting features. You are investing in open compliance infrastructure for everyone.
