{{.Name}} Compliance Program

This repository consolidates all documents related to the {{.Name}} Compliance Program.

Structure

Compliance documents are organized as follows:

narratives/     Narratives provide an overview of the organization and the compliance environment.
policies/       Policies govern the behavior of employees and contractors.
procedures/     Procedures prescribe specific steps that are taken in response to key events.
standards/      Standards specify the controls satisfied by the compliance program.
templates/      Templates control the output format of the HTML Dashboard and PDF assets.

Building

Assets are built using comply, which can be installed via brew install comply (macOS) or go get github.com/strongdm/comply

Publishing

The output/ directory contains all generated assets. Links in the HTML dashboard are relative, and all dependencies are included via direct CDN references. The entire output/ directory, therefore, may be uploaded to an S3 bucket or another static asset host without further modification.

Dashboard Status

Procedure tracking is updated whenever comply sync is invoked. Invoke a sync prior to comply build to include the most current ticket status.

Procedure Scheduler

Any procedures/ that include a cron schedule will automatically created in your configured ticketing system whenever comply scheduler is executed. The scheduler will backfill any overdue tickets.
