Active Compliance Framework

The Handoff is the Disease.

Compliance officers kick off audits, hand reports to practitioners, and wait. By the time the report is closed, the underlying posture has already drifted. It is designed to remove that friction by establishing one continuous artifact.

The Single Continuous Artifact

Practitioner Workflow

main.tf

- resource "aws_s3_bucket_acl" "example" { acl = "public-read" }

+ resource "aws_s3_bucket_acl" "example" { acl = "private" }

Opinionated Stances

Evidence should be a byproduct of work. Compliance work includes both integration-observed activity and authored content. Evidence is the byproduct of capturing that work as it happens, not a separate collection exercise.
Migration belongs inside compliance. Treating infrastructure migration as out-of-scope is how compliance theater happens. Migrations are designed to run inside the loop.
Tamper protection is structural. Trust comes from architecture, not from policy. Cryptographic hash chains prove the evidence hasn't been altered.
