### ✅ Social Media Announcement

**LinkedIn Post Template:**
```
🚀 Launching Security Controls MCP for Claude

I'm excited to announce the release of security-controls-mcp, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that brings 1,451 security controls into Claude conversations.

What it does:
✅ Instant access to 16 compliance frameworks (NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, DORA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, etc.)
✅ Search 1,451 security controls by keyword
✅ Map controls between frameworks
✅ Gap analysis for compliance efforts

This makes compliance work more efficient - ask Claude "Show me all DORA controls" or "Map my ISO 27001 controls to SOC 2" and get instant answers.

Built with SCF 2025.1 data, fully open source (Apache 2.0).

GitHub: https://github.com/Ansvar-Systems/security-controls-mcp
5-min setup guide included.
