Controls

A control is a specific action, configuration, or safeguard—manual or automated—implemented to meet compliance requirements. When documenting a control, clearly state its intent, explain how it is carried out (including who performs it, what is done, when and where), and reference supporting evidence such as logs, reports, or tickets that demonstrate it is functioning as intended.

Example:
"All changes to production systems require peer review and manager approval. Evidence: GitHub pull request comments and approval workflow logs."
