Standards Frame
Use standards as the audit vocabulary, not as a blanket claim.
| Framework | Why reviewers ask | Expected response |
|---|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 27001 | Whether governance, risk, policy, access, supplier, and secure-SDLC evidence exists. | Provide product evidence plus organizational and deployment evidence for the audited scope. |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | Whether outcomes across govern, identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover are evidenced. | Map the binder sections to those outcomes without claiming formal certification. |
| FIPS 140-3 | Whether the audited deployment uses validated cryptographic modules and can prove the crypto boundary. | Attach deployment-specific TLS, Vault, KMS, HSM, and module evidence. |
| PCI DSS | Whether the deployment keeps payment data out of scope or can evidence the required guardrails. | Use PCI-sensitive caveats, tenant policy evidence, and data-minimization boundaries. |
Report Catalog
Prepare a scoped binder instead of one generic product statement.
Security audit evidence narrative
Baseline control narrative and the audit assertion boundary for the product and deployment.
Release and supply-chain evidence
What was built, scanned, tagged, deployed, and verified for the audited release.
Hosting and infrastructure evidence
TLS, network exposure, secrets, monitoring, backup, and deployment hardening evidence.
Tenant, data, and collector evidence
Tenant isolation, access, collection scope, review evidence, retention, and privacy handling.
Open-gap register
Current caveats for privacy lifecycle, retention, regulated release packages, and related hardening items.
Evidence Rules
Every binder must identify the exact audited scope.
- Record the audited deployment, tenant or customer scope, report date, product version, component image refs, and commit SHAs.
- Use immutable release refs for production evidence.
- Redact secrets while preserving parameter names, non-default status, rotation timing, and owner.
- Link every open caveat to the owning work item instead of hiding it.
Next Step
Use the live public surface as the review artifact.
When a customer or reviewer needs product-safe wording, point them at these URLs on veridataops.com and then attach deployment-specific evidence separately.
