Audit Packet Checklist (48-hour evidence readiness) — Spokeo (Article III standing context)¶
If examined (regulator, auditor, litigation), you should be able to produce the following within 48 hours.
A) Architecture + boundaries¶
- Data-processing architecture and boundaries for consumer-profile services.
- Inventory of data ingestion, matching, and profile-serving systems with owners.
- Boundary and control-baseline documentation for sensitive consumer data paths.
B) Change control proof¶
- Change approvals for data-quality, identity-resolution, and control-governance updates.
- Emergency change logs for high-risk remediation affecting profile data handling.
- Ticket-to-release evidence linking control updates to documented risks.
C) IAM least privilege proof¶
- Privileged-role inventory for profile-data systems and admin tooling.
- Access certifications and remediation records for excessive or stale access.
- Authentication and admin-session control evidence for sensitive systems.
D) Logging + monitoring proof¶
- Log-source mapping for data updates, profile access, disputes, and admin actions.
- Retention and integrity controls for logs needed in legal/regulatory review.
- Detection and investigation ticket samples for unauthorized access/misuse indicators.
E) Risk management & governance¶
- Risk-register entries tied to FCRA/standing-related governance and data-quality risk.
- Governance reporting artifacts on dispute handling and control effectiveness.
- Independent review findings with remediation closure proof.
F) Incident response readiness¶
- IR and escalation runbooks for data misuse, profile integrity, and access incidents.
- Evidence preservation procedures for litigation support and discovery response.
- Exercise outputs validating readiness for rapid evidence production requests.
