This Traceability Matrix provides complete end-to-end visibility from compliance framework requirements through ISMS policy implementation to actual evidence in the CIA Compliance Manager codebase. It enables:
- 🔍 Compliance Verification - Auditors can trace requirements to implementation
- 📊 Gap Analysis - Identify coverage across multiple frameworks simultaneously
- 🎯 Evidence Mapping - Direct links to implementation artifacts
- 🏆 Transparency - Public documentation of security control effectiveness
Each row in this matrix shows:
- Framework Control - Specific requirement from NIST/ISO/CIS
- ISMS Policy - Hack23 AB policy that addresses the requirement
- Implementation - How CIA Compliance Manager implements the control
- Evidence - Verifiable artifacts (code, tests, reports, badges)
