Intelligence for the work.
Confidence in the outcome.

Define what a control needs to prove before collecting an artifact. Source documents, screenshots and structured system records belong to an evidence request with a clear scope, owner and assessment period.

• Specify the source, collection method, sensitivity and freshness window.
• Use supported adapters and private runners within an explicitly authorized environment.
• Keep the original artifact, version and capture context together. Adapter availability and credentials are confirmed during onboarding.

An agent should work against a defined objective and a declared method. ControlFrame separates preparation and analysis from the authority to accept evidence or release a conclusion.

• Compose reviewable collection and analysis steps with explicit dependencies.
• Inspect proposed mappings and findings alongside their supporting source.
• Route incomplete work and exceptions to the right person. Runtime and model access are activated for the approved deployment.

A document alone cannot explain which control it supports, whether it is current or who reviewed it. ControlFrame connects the artifact to those decisions without losing its original context.

• Preserve source identifiers, checksums, versions and custody history.
• Propose evidence reuse across relevant controls while retaining a separate sufficiency decision for each use.
• Organize requests, artifacts, gaps and ownership in a shared engagement record.

Make the review process inspectable. A reviewer can examine the requirement, source evidence, proposed result and exceptions before recording a decision.

• Keep preparer and reviewer responsibilities distinct.
• Record acceptance, rejection and requests for further evidence with reasons.
• Track framework editions and proposed changes. Monitoring availability is configured separately; new requirements are never silently adopted.

Assemble a package from reviewed evidence and preserve the connection to its source and approval history. Give recipients a record they can interrogate, not just a status they must trust.

• Keep evidence, findings, workpapers and named decisions together.
• Use governed release and recipient access for the approved engagement.
• Eligible signed packages can be checked independently; signature trust depends on the supplied signing identity and deployment configuration.
