Evidence auditors usually ask for

A typical starting list. Your assessor's request list is the one that counts.

  • Physical security policy
  • Badge access lists for sensitive areas with periodic review
  • Visitor logs and escort procedures
  • Video surveillance coverage and retention evidence (PCI: at least 3 months)
  • For cloud-hosted: inherited-control evidence from the provider's SOC report or AOC
