Governance

Every incident leaves a chain.

Detected, decided, acted, taken effect, restored.

Every step timestamped, every decision with a reason. The chain cannot be altered after the fact, and it can be exported for the report to the competent authority.

The practical difference is one of timing. Normally compliance evidence is produced afterwards, in a consulting project, from reconstructed logs. Here it is produced in operation, as a by-product of acting.

To an auditor that is the difference between a claim and a record.
