Security audit proves required access, authority, and compliance events; operational source-to-runtime tracing belongs to H.11.8 Delivery Traceability.
- Record sensitive access, policy changes, approval decisions, rejected changes, credential use, breakglass, signing, and promotion as required by the threat model.
- Define who may read the evidence, how long it survives, and which events can be delayed, sampled, missing, or rewritten.
- Test joins among source, review, invocation, provenance, artifact, registry, promotion, and runtime state.
- Distinguish security proof from operational traceability and ordinary debugging telemetry.
- Exercise the audit with an incident or artifact rather than assuming stored records can be joined.
