// Control evidence

Control reviews builton their evidence.

Organize security-control reviews around supporting records, so teams can see what has been assessed and where evidence needs attention.

  • Coverage

    Every control, mapped and assessed

    Controls are mapped to your framework, and you see which have been assessed and which are waiting.

  • Evidence

    Each review backed by its records

    Configuration exports, screenshots, test results and attestations sit with the control they support.

  • Effectiveness

    Which controls reduce the most risk

    Control maturity is scored by capability, coverage and reliability, and tied to the risk it reduces.

// Overview

What is security control evidence management?

Security control evidence management is the practice of keeping the records that prove each control works, such as configuration exports, test results and attestations, attached to the control, with an owner and a freshness date.

DataObserve S.A.F.E maps your controls to NIST CSF or ISO 27001, keeps every review backed by its records, and scores control effectiveness by capability, coverage and reliability in line with FAIR-CAM, so you can see which controls reduce the most risk.

Map controls to your framework

Upload your NIST CSF or ISO 27001 documentation and have controls mapped automatically.

// Grounded in open standards

Controls oriented to attacker behaviour

  • FAIR-CAM aligned

    Control effectiveness measured, not just checked off.

  • MITRE ATT&CK

    Scenarios mapped to techniques to find critical controls.

  • NIST CSF and ISO 27001

    Your framework, mapped automatically.

  • Controls center

    Live status and maturity for every control.

  • Evidence freshness

    Due dates and owners for every record.

  • Return on controls

// Use cases

Control evidence: use cases

  • Audit readiness

    Answer auditor requests from one place, with evidence current and owned.

  • Control rationalisation

    Find overlapping or weak controls and the gaps that matter most.

  • Security investment cases

    Show which control improvements remove the most risk for the money.

  • Framework mapping

    Map existing controls to NIST CSF or ISO 27001 without rebuilding your library.

// FAQs

Control evidence: questions teams ask

  • What counts as evidence?

    Anything that shows a control works: configuration exports, test results, reports, screenshots and attestations.

  • How is control effectiveness judged?

    By capability, coverage and reliability, and by how much risk the control reduces in your scenarios.

  • Which frameworks are supported?

    NIST CSF and ISO 27001 mappings, with scenarios tied to MITRE ATT&CK techniques.

  • What is FAIR-CAM?

    FAIR-CAM (FAIR Controls Analytics Model) is an open model for measuring how controls affect cyber risk. DataObserve S.A.F.E uses it to score control effectiveness rather than just recording whether a control exists.

  • How does stale evidence get caught?

    Every record carries an owner and a due date. Controls whose evidence is overdue or incomplete rise to the top of their owner's queue.

  • Can we keep our own control library?

    Yes. Upload your existing documentation and the controls are mapped to your chosen framework, keeping your own names and owners.
