What this artifact is (and when you need it)
Minimum viable explanation, written for audits — not for theory.
This checklist is the “conversion hub” for audit readiness: what auditors typically request, grouped by theme, and structured as minimum → strong → gold-standard evidence.
Use it to spot gaps fast and to standardize what your team can export on demand.
You need it when
- You’re getting procurement or audit questions and need a consistent package.
- Your evidence is scattered across tools and you need an exportable bundle.
- You want to map Annex IV claims to actual runtime evidence and review records.
Common failure mode
Evidence exists, but it’s scattered across wikis and dashboards with no manifest, no checksums, and no reproducible “what ran when” trail.
What good looks like
Acceptance criteria reviewers actually check.
- Covers system description, risk management, oversight, validation, monitoring, change control, and logging integrity.
- Defines minimum vs strong vs gold-standard per theme (easy to forward internally).
- Includes export instructions and verification steps (manifest + checksums).
- Links to the actual artifacts/templates used by the team (SOPs, policies, checklists).
Template preview
A real excerpt in HTML so it’s indexable and reviewable.
## 3) Human oversight records - Minimum: oversight SOP + intervention triggers + role definitions - Strong: review queue records (approve/reject/edit/override + rationale) - Gold: sampled review outcomes + disagreement handling + training evidence ## 7) Logging integrity proof & retention - Minimum: audit event taxonomy + retention policy - Strong: integrity mechanism documented + periodic verification reports - Gold: export bundles with manifests + checksums + verification steps
How to fill it in (fast)
Inputs you need, time to complete, and a miniature worked example.
Inputs you need
- Your system inventory + owners.
- Locations of key artifacts (risk register, SOPs, runbooks, eval reports).
- Your export mechanism (what you can bundle + how you verify integrity).
Time to complete: 10–20 minutes to draft, then iterate during export drills.
Mini example: evidence pack manifest entry
manifest.json (excerpt) - bundle_id: kla-export-2025-12-16-001 - includes: audit-log.ndjson, review-queue.csv, policy-pack.tar.gz - checksums: sha256:... - verify: recompute checksums; validate hash chain
How KLA generates it (Govern / Measure / Prove)
Tie the artifact to product primitives so it converts.
Govern
- Governance as enforceable controls (policy-as-code + approval gates), not spreadsheets.
- Change control links every version bump to an approval record.
Measure
- Sampling and near-miss metrics become measurable control effectiveness signals.
- Monitoring outcomes are recorded as evidence, not screenshots.
Prove
- Evidence Room exports package telemetry, approvals, and policies with a manifest + checksums.
- Append-only audit ledger provides tamper-evident proof of execution and interventions.
