How this report is elaborated
Scope is the Volume 1 Supplier audit. Artefacts installed in this volume are in-pack; neighbours named from other volumes stay in those books (Vol. 1, Vol. 5, Vol. 2).
The process we followed is ISO 27001 → Policies → Processes and Systems → Protected Assets → Objects needed by the process → Evidences. Standard vs policy examines whether a policy covers the cited clause or control. Policy vs evidence tests the join from policy rule to recorded evidence.
How to read this report
Start with Results at a glance, then how this category is set up. Standard vs policy is EXAMINE and stays not scored. Nonconformities are kernel FAIL (Policy ↔ evidence, default minor) and Requirement ↔ evidence: no policy and no implementation, or implementation without effectiveness evidence. UNKNOWN is not an NC. Glance counts Conformity, Defined, Implemented, and Effectiveness — not PASS/FAIL compliance. Not scored on an inventory row means the subject is not in this topic's kernel join. It is not a Statement of Applicability exclusion.
Results at a glance
Companion Contract/Example unchanged. This audit does not invent a certification statement.
How supplier is set up
One graph. Green boxes are installed in this volume. Dashed edges: HITL. CSS is not joined to CSSAQ. CSSAQ is not joined to SINV, SRP or SSAQ. SRP, SINV and SSAQ stay Volume 1. Not a supplier-count or questionnaire-score.
Cited HOW policy. Needle SUP-REL-POL-001. You EXAMINE whether it covers A.5.19–A.5.23. This audit does not score coverage. Not joined to SINV, SSAQ or CSSAQ.
In-pack inventory. Supplier rows stay citations, not a supplier-count score. Not joined to CSSAQ or SSAQ.
Cited HOW questionnaire. You EXAMINE whether it is operated. Not a questionnaire-score. Not joined to CSSAQ or SINV.
In-pack questionnaire. Needle CSSAQ-FRM-001 / CSSAQ-2026-CLOUDHOST-001. Open follow-up, Approved with conditions, and Partial stay citations. Track three supplier actions in SINV stays a citation, not a SINV join. Not a process-component.
Volume 2 cloud-security statement. Named, not packed, not joined in this volume.
Nonconformities
Nonconformities this pack can show. Kernel FAIL is Policy ↔ evidence, default minor — not an automatic major. No policy and no implementation, or implementation without effectiveness evidence, is Requirement ↔ evidence. UNKNOWN is not an NC. Assessment Results stay the kernel SSOT. How to fix is the follow-up, not a customer ticket.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| SRP | yes | NA | DK | Artefact |
| SINV | NA | yes | DK | Artefact |
