CCM Control Implementation and Evidence Template
Use this as a lightweight working sheet before promoting the data into a formal GRC register or audit workbook.
| Framework | Domain / control family | Shared responsibility (CSP / CSC / shared) | Primary control owner | Engineering implementation owner | Release artifacts | Recurring evidence | Review cadence | Reporting rollup | Exceptions / notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CSA CCM | IAM | shared | Platform Security | Identity Engineering | role-policy diff, environment approval, pipeline gate result | monthly access review, stale privilege report | monthly | IAM coverage / open exceptions | example: pending legacy service migration |
| CSA CCM | LOG | shared | SRE / Platform | Observability Team | deployment record with log sink enabled | log-export health, retention checks, alert coverage | weekly | telemetry coverage | example: one sandbox environment exempt |
| NIST CSF 2.0 | GV / ID / PR / DE / RS / RC | org-defined | Security Leadership | varies by control | release-control mapping where relevant | quarterly profile delta, risk register updates | quarterly | posture trend / leadership asks | use as the executive umbrella |
Suggested usage notes
- keep one row per control family or meaningful control grouping, not per every tiny sub-control unless the environment is highly regulated;
- separate release artifacts from operational evidence;
- record whether the control is provider-owned, customer-owned, or shared;
- always include an expiry date for exceptions that bypass a normal release or posture control.
