Regulator Assurance: Verification Ledger and Due Care

Fusionstek

Regulators and insurers increasingly expect evidence of continuous security oversight—not just a point-in-time report. That means you need a clear record of what was tested, when, and what was done about it.

Verification ledger

A verification ledger is a structured record of tests and outcomes. Each finding ties back to a specific asset, a specific time, and a specific verification step. When an auditor asks "how do you know that was fixed?" you can point to the ledger: we verified it on this date, with this result.

Due-care timeline

Due care means acting as a reasonable organisation would. A timeline that shows regular discovery, monitoring, and remediation—with evidence—demonstrates that you didn't ignore your external surface. That's what regulators and insurers look for when assessing whether you met your obligations.

Policy-driven guardrails

Assurance should be compliance-safe from day one. Scope allowlists, consent enforcement, and prohibited-action controls ensure that testing stays within what you've authorised. The same policies that protect you operationally also support your narrative in an audit.
