Security Assurance & Compliance Evidence

Problem

Engineering teams had implemented security controls but lacked clear documentation and evidence packages that auditors and compliance teams could evaluate.

Constraints

Compressed audit timelines, multiple control frameworks, evidence needed to be current and traceable, bridge between engineering implementation and audit language.

Approach

Mapped existing security controls to compliance requirements, generated evidence packages covering logging, encryption, SDLC practices, vulnerability management, DLP, and cloud posture. Translated engineering work into auditor-readable documentation.

Outcome

Delivered compliance evidence on time, established repeatable evidence collection workflows, and improved the team's ability to communicate security posture to non-technical stakeholders.

Terminal

# evidence collection: verify encryption at rest
$ aws rds describe-db-instances --query \
$   'DBInstances[*].[DBInstanceIdentifier,StorageEncrypted]' --output table

|  prod-db-primary    |  True        |
|  prod-db-replica    |  True        |
|  staging-db         |  True        |
# verify CloudTrail logging is enabled across all accounts
$ aws cloudtrail get-trail-status --name org-trail --query 'IsLogging'
true
# screenshot this, attach to control AC-6, move on
