What it obligates
Our corpus holds 29 controls across
21 frameworks whose text speaks to this. Not a judgement:
these controls say so, and each is one lookup from its source document. Ordered by how much each
framework has to say about it, so the one that will cost you the most work is first. Every name
opens that framework in the corpus.
What an auditor will ask you to produce
The artefacts named on those controls, most frequently cited first.
- Data classification policy
- Encryption configuration baseline
- Residency map
- Secure deletion attestation
- Transfer map + per destination + records + per data flow + per category
- Lawful mechanism + Adequacy/SCC/BCR + records + per transfer + per recipient
- TIA + per transfer + records + per destination + periodic review
- Supplementary measures + encryption/pseudonymisation + records + per transfer
How it usually fails
Recorded when each control was verified against its source. This is where programmes
that think they are covered turn out not to be.
- Encryption not enforced on all storage classes
- Residency assumptions undocumented
- Deletion attestations missing
- Transfers without mapping (cloud sprawl)
- Lawful mechanism not chosen per transfer
- TIA absent (Schrems II ignored)
Where this comes from
The left half is public record: SEC full-text search over 8-K filings, counted across a
14 day window against the equivalent window before it. You can check
every row.
The right half is ours: 723 frameworks and
20,473 controls, 531 of those frameworks verified against
their source documents, with the auditor evidence and common failure modes recorded control by
control. Controls appear here because their own text names this term.
