{ "ask": { "agent": "quox", "answer": "Compliance report generation belongs to auditus, so I'm delegating it there.\n\nThe SOC 2 readiness report is ready. It covers 7 October to 6 November 2026 and uses only this organisation's own audit trail (source: compliance_generate_report).\n\n**Result (VERIFIED, from the report itself)**\n- **Report id:** `RPT_1793936839062_4nbs`\n- **Overall score:** 82\n- **Status:** `partially_evidenced`\n- **What it read:** 4,277 audit records across 450 conversations, all from org `01M6F8…`\n- **Control results:** 11 compliant, 1 partial, 1 not measured, 2 require action\n\n**Controls that need action**\n- **A1.2 Recovery Objectives:** requires action. No evidence of defined recovery time or recovery point targets was found.\n- **A1.3 Recovery Testing:** requires action. No evidence of recovery tests was found.\n- **CC6.3 Access Removal:** partial. Some evidence exists but not enough to cover the control.\n- **PI1.1 Processing Integrity Policies:** not measured. This is different from non-compliant. The server-side report doesn't run cryptographic evidence checks, so controls that depend on them can't be scored here. Treat its status as unknown, not as failed.\n\n**First sampled evidence record:** `ENV_MW4148QU_UFMP69ZO`\n\n**What the report is**\n- A readiness assessment built from this organisation's own audit records for the 30-day window.\n\n**What it is not**\n- It is not an audit opinion, a SOC 2 attestation or a certification. Only an independent CPA firm can issue a SOC 2 Type II report.\n- It is not an integrity check. I haven't verified the tamper-evident witness chain or any cryptographic evidence chains this turn, so I'm not claiming anything about whether the evidence was tampered with.\n\n**Suggested next steps**\n1. **For A1.2 and A1.3:** document recovery targets and run a recovery test that gets recorded, so evidence exists for the next report.\n2. **For CC6.3:** check that removing someone's access produces an audit record every time.\n3. **Check the sample:** I can verify `ENV_MW4148QU_UFMP69ZO` against the witness chain, and verify the witness chain as a whole, if you'd like that done now.\n4. **Recurring reports:** I can schedule a monthly SOC 2 report to track progress on these controls.\n\n_Tools used: compliance_generate_report_\n\nThe SOC 2 readiness report is generated, and the first envelope it sampled verified on the first attempt. I didn't need to wait for a later tip.\n\n**Final verdict for `ENV_MW4148QU_UFMP69ZO`: WITNESSED.**\n- The envelope is in the WARD chain at sequence 6697095, recorded on 5 Nov 2026 at 20:59 UTC.\n- It is covered by signed tip 6697100, and the Ed25519 signature verified. The tip is also timestamped, and the 6 entries from the envelope up to the tip verified with no warnings.\n\n**What this proves:** that record existed at that time and has not been altered since. Anyone who changed it afterwards would break the chain.\n\n**What it doesn't prove:** that the control behind it worked, or that the other sampled records are intact. This was one envelope, not the whole chain. The report is also a readiness assessment, not an audit opinion or a SOC 2 attestation. Only an independent CPA firm can issue those.\n\nAuditus's summary above has the report id, the score and status, and the controls needing action.", "captured_at": "2026-11-06T03:46:56.644Z", "prompt": "Our auditor has asked for evidence of our controls over the last 30 days.
