Why it works
How does this template stay current
The structure is built around an evergreen policy inventory and an auditable log. Regular updates during reviews ensure owners, frequencies, and statuses reflect reality.
What kind of evidence should be stored
Store objective artifacts such as policy documents, test results, meeting minutes, version histories, and evidence IDs that tie back to each policy
How do you use it to drive audits
Use the Audit Schedule to trigger reminders and allocate owners; link evidence to each policy so auditors can trace compliance across domains
