SOC 2 · Trust Services Criterion CC4.1

What an auditor asks for

An assessor checks that control checks ran on the stated schedule and that the results of those checks were kept.

  • Control check schedule
  • Evaluation results

Evidence ShipReady collects for CC4.1

ShipReady maps CC4.1 to the engineering signals below. A control with no collected artifact stays a gap until an evidence run produces one — never an assumed pass.

  • Database postureprogram-governance

Common gaps

  • No artifact has been collected yet — ShipReady records the CC4.1 control as a gap until an evidence run produces one, never as an assumed pass.
  • The connected source is unconfigured or has returned no posture, so the automated check cannot run (an unconfigured collector is a gap the owner can close).
