Build-an-X for SOC 2 Type II evidence collection and auditor-facing packaging - per-Trust-Services-Criterion test artifacts (Common Criteria CC1.1 - CC9.2; plus Availability A1, Confidentiality C1, Processing Integrity PI1, Privacy P1 - P9 if in scope); auto-collection from CI logs + audit trails + access logs + change-management records; alignment with Vanta / Drata / Secureframe evidence shapes; observation-period sampling. Cross-framework evidence packaging (control-evidence matrix, timestamped bundles, chain-of-custody notes per NIST SP 800-72 - also for ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI DSS / GDPR / FedRAMP) lives in references/evidence-packaging.md. Use when the team is preparing for SOC 2 Type II audit and needs continuous evidence collection, or when any audit engagement requires auditor-ready evidence packages built from automated test output.

Low-risk findings worth noting
Most SaaS engagements include CC + Availability + Confidentiality. Privacy criteria add when GDPR/CCPA also in scope. Processing Integrity adds for fintech / data-processing SaaS.
| Criterion category | Typical scope decision |
|---|---|
| CC1 Control Environment | Always |
| CC2 Communication & Information | Always |
| CC3 Risk Assessment | Always |
| CC4 Monitoring | Always |
| CC5 Control Activities | Always |
| CC6 Logical & Physical Access | Always |
| CC7 System Operations | Always |
| CC8 Change Management | Always |
| CC9 Risk Mitigation | Always |
| A1 Availability | If uptime SLA committed |
| C1 Confidentiality | Typical for B2B SaaS |
| PI1 Processing Integrity | If data-processing accuracy matters |
| P1 - P9 Privacy | If handling PII at scale |
Map each control to one or more automatable evidence sources:
| Control | Evidence source | Collector pattern |
|---|---|---|
| CC6.1 Logical access | IDP audit logs (Okta/Auth0/Keycloak) | Daily export of user-access events |
| CC6.2 Access provisioning | Onboarding workflow logs | Per-hire ticket + access-grant audit |
| CC6.3 Access deprovisioning | Offboarding workflow logs | Per-departure ticket + access-revoke audit |
| CC7.1 Threat detection | SIEM (Datadog, Splunk) alert logs | Continuous alert-history feed |
| CC7.2 System monitoring | APM (Datadog, New Relic) uptime data | Daily uptime report |
| CC8.1 Change management | Git PR history + CI deploy logs | Per-PR audit (reviewer attribution) |
| A1.1 Availability monitoring | SLO dashboards | Monthly availability report |
| C1.1 Encryption at rest | Cloud KMS audit logs | Quarterly attestation |
| C1.2 Encryption in transit | TLS config audit | Quarterly attestation |
