Compliance and evidence
The Compliance screen scores your organisation against twelve frameworks, control by control, from what the monitoring actually sees. It never marks a control as passed on faith.
PART 01
The twelve frameworks
| Framework | How it is mapped |
|---|---|
| NIS2 Directive and CIR (EU) 2024/2690 | By hand, to the Directive's Article 21 measures and the Implementing Regulation's annex. |
| DORA (EU) 2022/2554 | By hand, to ICT risk management, incident and testing requirements. |
| NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 | By hand, to the six functions and their categories. |
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 | By hand, to Annex A controls. |
| CIS Controls v8 | By hand, to the safeguards. |
| UK NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework | By hand, to the objectives and principles. |
| UAE Information Assurance Standards | By hand, to the management and technical controls. |
| GDPR Article 32 | From tags on every detection rule and hardening check. |
| PCI DSS | From tags on every detection rule and hardening check. |
| NIST SP 800-53 | From tags on every detection rule and hardening check. |
| SOC 2 | From tags on every detection rule and hardening check. |
| HIPAA Security Rule | From tags on every detection rule and hardening check. |
PART 02
Two kinds of evidence
01
Activity
Events, the hardening score, open vulnerabilities, how many machines report, administrators' two-factor sign-in.
02
Configuration
Every hardening check carries references to EU data protection, CIS v8, PCI DSS, NIST, SOC 2 and HIPAA, so a failing check is a named gap under each.
A control takes the worst of its evidence: one failing check makes it a gap, however much else passes.
PART 03
What each status means
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Evidenced | The monitoring shows the control working, over the selected period. |
| Gap | The monitoring shows something wrong, and names it: the failing checks, the hosts, the vulnerabilities. |
| No data | Nothing the monitoring can see decides it: backups, suppliers, training, policies. Record it to evidence it. |
| Organisational | Evidenced by your own records rather than by monitoring. |
| — | The period is before monitoring began. |
"No data" is not a passMeasures such as backups, supplier security and staff training cannot be read from logs. The screen will not count them until they are evidenced.
PART 04
Closing a gap
- Open the control: it lists the failing checks under it, by host.
- Each check says what is wrong and how to fix it; the fix is on the server, not in the portal.
- After the fix, the next scan (every few hours) or the next events change the evidence. The score history shows the trend.
The evidence pack (JSON) exports the framework's controls with their evidence for your auditor.
