Compliance Audit Skill

Audit technical controls against compliance framework requirements.

Trigger Conditions

• •Control mapping changes or evidence staleness >30 days
• •Quarterly compliance review cycle
• •User invokes with "compliance audit" or "control assessment"

Input Contract

• •Required: Framework(s) to audit against (SOC 2, GDPR, FedRAMP, etc.)
• •Required: Control mapping matrix
• •Optional: Prior audit results, remediation status

Output Contract

• •Control status report (compliant, gap, partial)
• •Evidence inventory with freshness scores
• •POA&M for open findings
• •Compliance posture score

Tool Permissions

• •Read: All configs, logs, access policies, encryption settings
• •Write: Audit reports, evidence documentation
• •Search: Control implementation evidence

Execution Steps

1. •Load control mapping matrix for target framework
2. •For each control, search for implementation evidence
3. •Verify evidence is current (not stale)
4. •Classify each control: compliant, partial, gap
5. •For gaps, create POA&M entries with owners and deadlines
6. •Calculate overall compliance posture score
7. •Generate audit report

Success Criteria

• •Every control classified with evidence reference
• •No evidence older than 30 days for continuous controls
• •POA&M entries have assigned owners and deadlines
• •Compliance score calculated

Escalation Rules

• •Escalate if critical control gaps are found
• •Escalate if evidence cannot be generated automatically
• •Escalate if compliance score drops below threshold
