Framework areas

SORF framework guidance lives in the official repository.

The website introduces the framework areas and helps visitors find the right materials. Official SORF framework guidance is maintained in the GitHub repository so version history, review records, and source files stay traceable.

SORF framework guidance is provided for educational and organizational planning purposes. It is not legal, tax, financial, accounting, insurance, cybersecurity, regulatory, compliance, governance, or professional advice.
