# Retrieve Compliance Assessments
source: https://developer.mastercard.com/riskrecon-api/documentation/use-cases/risk-assessment/compliance/index.md

RiskRecon provides an objective way to assess your enterprise and third parties against both industry compliance standards and custom defined compliance standards. RiskRecon maintains mappings of security domain and criteria ratings to compliance controls. The number of A and B ratings can be used to understand the percentage of positive indicators for the compliance standard.

The RiskRecon cybersecurity assessment platform maps assessment results to many Industry Security Standards, enabling automated compliance assessment. You can use the [Compliance API](https://developer.mastercard.com/riskrecon-api/documentation/getting-started/index.md#compliance) to return compliance assessment data to track a vendor's mapped ratings against a given compliance standard. This enables you to identify potential gaps.

These assessments are rated and have issue counts and issue rate percentages. The companies with the lowest rating have the highest breach event frequency.

When you arrive at the **Compliance** landing page of the **RiskRecon web portal**, you can see the grids showing the summary of mapped security domains and criteria letter grade ratings for each industry security standard that the TOE needs to adhere to.

Each grid represents an industry security standard and provides the following details:

* Name of the security framework
* Percentage for each rating letter grading
* Percent of positive indicators, equal to the sum between A and B percentage ratings

When you click an industry standard, you get further details on the risk standard controls.

You can retrieve this data using either of the following endpoints available in the `Compliance API`:
