Compliance Officer guide

As a Compliance Officer, you assess whether the available evidence supports the requirements and controls under review. Your organization determines which legal obligations apply; a framework mapping does not make that determination.

Confirm the review scope

Begin with the framework, applications, environments, and review period. Identify the evidence included and the accountable owners, then record any exclusions before assessing readiness.

Review a control

  1. Open the mapped control or requirement.
  2. Review the evidence source, date, application, and provenance.
  3. Confirm whether the record supports the stated control activity.
  4. Record missing, partial, or conflicting evidence.
  5. Assign remediation or request evidence from the owning team.

Framework mappings support review. They do not establish compliance by themselves.

Review assigned work

Use Inbox for attestations, risk acceptance, evidence requests, and compliance decisions assigned to your role.

Before deciding, check the required evidence and the consequences of the decision. Record your reason, any conditions, the accountable owner, and the review date.

Prepare evidence

Export only the applications, period, and fields required for the engagement. Verify the manifest and configured proof provider before delivery.

Include your organization’s policies, approvals, legal analysis, and corrective-action records where the review requires them.
