Frequently Asked Questions

What compliance frameworks does this checklist support?

The checklist is designed to be adaptable to multiple frameworks including GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and internal corporate policies. You can customize categories and items to match your specific compliance requirements.

How should compliance status be determined?

Each item should be marked as: Compliant (fully meets requirements), Partial (partially compliant with gaps), Non-Compliant (does not meet requirements), or N/A (not applicable to this audit). Always document evidence to support your assessment.

What evidence should be documented?

Evidence includes policy documents, procedure records, system configurations, audit logs, training records, contracts, certifications, and any documentation that demonstrates compliance. Note the location and type of evidence reviewed.

How often should compliance audits be conducted?

Frequency depends on the regulatory framework and risk level. Many standards require annual audits, while high-risk areas may need quarterly reviews. Some regulations require continuous monitoring with periodic formal assessments.

What happens when non-compliance is identified?

Document the non-compliance, assess the risk level, and create a corrective action plan with timeline. Serious non-compliance may require immediate remediation. Track all findings through resolution and maintain records for future audits.
