Evidence Vallum Produces
Self-assessment evidence packages, control-verification receipts, and continuous-monitoring event records
Evidence Vallum Does NOT Produce
External penetration test results, third-party audit reports, or organizational risk assessments
Known Limitations
Vallum produces evidence relevant to this control but does not enforce the control at the infrastructure, network, or operating-system level. Evidence covers Vallum-managed operations only. Customer systems, third-party integrations, and infrastructure controls require separate evidence sources.
Your Responsibilities
Conduct organizational security assessments, engage external auditors, maintain assessment plans, and act on findings
External Controls Required
Identity provider (IdP), network firewall and segmentation, infrastructure monitoring, endpoint protection, and organizational security policies
Residual Risk
Vallum evidence covers authorization and evidence-layer operations. Gaps exist at infrastructure, network, and physical layers that require complementary controls. Time-of-check to time-of-use windows exist between evidence capture and verification.
