Built by AfrexAI. metadata: version: 1.0.0 author: AfrexAI tags: [soc2, compliance, audit, security, evidence-collection, enterprise] --- # SOC2 Evidence Collector Automate evidence gathering for SOC2 Type I and Type II audits across all 5 Trust Service Criteria. ## When to Use - Preparing for an upcoming SOC2 audit (Type I or Type II) - Building continuous compliance evidence pipelines - Auditor requests evidence and you need to gather it fast - Onboarding a new client who requires SOC2 compliance proof - Annual evidence refresh cycle - Gap analysis before engaging an audit firm ## Input Gather these from the user before generating: ### Required 1. **Audit type**: Type I (point-in-time) or Type II (over a period, typically 3-12 months) 2. **Trust Service Criteria in scope**: Security (CC — always required), plus any of: Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, Privacy 3. **Cloud provider(s)**: AWS, GCP, Azure, multi-cloud, on-prem, hybrid 4. **Primary tech stack**: languages, frameworks, CI/CD, IaC tools 5. **Team size**: engineering + ops headcount ### Optional - Current compliance certifications (ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.) - Audit firm name and timeline - Previous audit findings or gaps - Specific control frameworks already mapped (NIST 800-53, CIS, etc.) - SSO/IdP provider (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, etc.) ## Evidence Categories ### CC —

SOC2 Evidence Collector skill set -euo pipefail EVIDENCE_DIR="soc2-evidence/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" mkdir -p "$EVIDENCE_DIR"/{iam,network,encryption,logging,compute} echo "=== CC5: Access Controls ===" aws

Evidence Collection (example) ```bash #!/bin/bash # SOC2 Evidence Collector — GitHub set -euo pipefail ORG="${1:?Usage: $0 <github-org>}" EVIDENCE_DIR="soc2-evidence/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)/github" mkdir -p "$EVIDENCE_DIR" echo "=== CC8: Branch Protection ===" gh api "/orgs/$ORG/repos" --paginate --jq '.[].name' | while read repo; do gh api "/repos/$ORG/$repo/branches/main/protection" 2>/dev/null > "$EVIDENCE_DIR/${repo}-branch-protection.json" || true done echo "=== CC7: Recent Deployments ===" gh api "/orgs/$ORG/repos" --paginate --jq '.[].name' | head -10 | while read repo; do gh api

|| true done echo "=== CC5: Org Security Settings ===" gh api "/orgs/$ORG" --jq '{two_factor_requirement: .two_factor_requirement_enabled, default_permissions: .default_repository_permission}' > "$EVIDENCE_DIR/org-security.json" echo "Evidence collected in $EVIDENCE_DIR" ``` ## Output Format Generate a structured evidence package: ``` soc2-evidence/ ├── README.md # Overview, scope, period, auditor info ├── evidence-matrix.md # Full checklist with status (collected/pending/N-A) ├── collection-scripts/ │ ├── collect-aws.sh │ ├── collect-github.sh │ ├── collect-idp.sh │ └── collect-monitoring.sh ├── gap-analysis.md # Missing evidence + remediation steps └── schedule.md # Evidence collection calendar (what to refresh when) ``` ### evidence-matrix.md Format ```markdown | # | Control | Evidence | Status | Source | Last Collected | Notes | |---|---------|----------|--------|--------|---------------|-------| | CC1.1 | Org chart | org-chart-2026-Q1.pdf | ✅ Collected | HR export | 2026-01-15 | | | CC5.3 | MFA enforcement | mfa-config.json | ✅ Automated | IdP API | 2026-03-17 | Script: collect-idp.sh | | CC3.2 | Pen test report | — | ⏳ Pending | External vendor | — | Due 2026-04-01 | ``` ## Workflow 1. Gather inputs (audit type, scope, stack, team size) 2. Generate the full evidence matrix for in-scope criteria 3. Mark known evidence sources based on their stack 4. Generate collection scripts for automated gathering 5. Identify gaps and generate remediation recommendations 6. Create an evidence collection schedule (daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly) 7. Output the complete evidence package ## Tips for Users - **Start 3-6 months before audit**: evidence gaps take time to fill - **Automate early**: scripts that run monthly save panic before audit - **Version everything**: auditors love seeing change history - **Don't fake it**: missing evidence is better than fabricated evidence - **Continuous > point-in-time**: Type II requires sustained evidence over the audit period - **Tag evidence**: use consistent naming so auditors can self-serve ## AfrexAI Note This skill generates the framework and automation scaffolding.
