Good evidence should make the control understandable:
- What control activity occurred?
- Who performed or approved it?
- When did it happen?
- What system produced the evidence?
- What population or scope was covered?
- What exceptions were identified?
- How was remediation tracked?
- Where is the evidence retained?
Usage Note
Evidence expectations vary by control, framework, auditor, and organization. Treat this as a starting point.
