What counts as evidence

Good evidence shows a strategy is in place and working: exported settings, policy reports, logs and screenshots with dates, not a statement that it is done.

Why it matters

Most organisations already produce this in the course of running their systems. The gap is usually collecting and dating it, not creating it from scratch.

How Conformance helps

  • Export configuration and policy settings directly from systems
  • Keep compliance and enforcement reports with dates
  • Capture logs that show a strategy operating over time
  • Tie each artefact to the strategy and level it supports
  • Store evidence so it can be produced on request
How Conformance helps

Conformance validates this strategy from the evidence your organisation already produces, shows your maturity level, and tells you the next step to raise it.
