Episode 26 — Build evidence-ready cloud auditing habits that survive real scrutiny
This episode teaches how to produce audit evidence that is credible under scrutiny, aligning with exam expectations around accountability, traceability, and proving control operation rather than claiming it. You’ll define evidence types such as configuration state, policy documents, access logs, change records, and periodic review artifacts, then learn how to connect them into a narrative that answers: what control exists, who owns it, how it is enforced, and how you know it stayed effective over time. We’ll cover practical habits like standardizing evidence capture, timestamping, retaining logs to match investigation needs, and documenting exceptions with compensating controls. A scenario walks through an auditor asking for proof that admin access is controlled and monitored; you’ll assemble the minimal evidence package that demonstrates design, implementation, and operational oversight.
