Documentation and Evidence: Reusing Engineering Artifacts
Explore how to create a reusable evidence plan that links governance obligations to controls and existing engineering artifacts. This lesson helps you understand organizing documentation for compliance, managing access and retention policies, and establishing provenance for GenAI systems. Learn to balance security, privacy, and operational cost while supporting audit and investigation through structured, traceable evidence.
The obligation-to-control map says where a control lives. It does not define what evidence shows that the control operated as intended or where that evidence is already captured in existing engineering artifacts. In a GenAI system, documentation forms a traceable chain of evidence across design, release, and operation rather than serving as a collection of static documents.
The stakeholder decision is how to make every obligation in the obligation-to-control map traceable to a proof an internal reviewer or auditor can rerun without collecting unnecessary sensitive content. The measurable outcome is a documented ...
