  3. 45 stay with your organisationListed in full below, so nothing is implied.

A SOC 2 Type II report tests whether controls operated throughout a period. Change approvals are usually where engineering teams spend the most audit time, assembling tickets and screenshots for a sample of changes.

Today the SOC 2 blueprint gives code evidence for seven criteria on every pull request. From v1.4.0, every merged pull request is sealed as a change record with its approvals, checks and signatures: evidence for CC8.1. The full map is below, including the 45 criteria that stay with your organisation.

Toevan gives evidence for controls; it never certifies them or claims a framework is covered. Whether the evidence is sufficient is your auditor’s judgement.

Controls are shown by id with Toevan’s own short names. The official titles and requirement text belong to the framework’s publisher.

Code evidence today, sealed on every pull request. Always partial: the control also asks for things outside code. Code evidence today: rules in the SOC 2 blueprint check part of this on every pull request.

Coming in v1.4.01

Process evidence: merged pull requests, approvals, required checks, branch protection, rulesets and bypasses, sealed per change.

  • CC8.1

    Change approvals

    CC8 Change handling

    Process evidence: every merged pull request is sealed as a change record with its approvals on the final commit, the required checks at merge, who merged it, its signatures and the code verdicts it carried.

Supporting1

Toevan records related evidence, today or in v1.4.0, but the duty is organisational, so it never counts as covered.

  • CC7.4

    Incident response steps

    CC7 Security operations

    Supporting evidence today: a rule records evidence related to this duty. The duty itself is an operational process.

Planned7

Can be evidenced from code or GitHub. The rule or mapping is not built yet.

Using it in an audit

  1. Take the population from the change records (from v1.4.0)

    Every merge into a protected branch and every direct push in the period, captured from GitHub as it happened, is a sealed record you can export for sampling. You can re-perform the default branch’s population from git history; designated production branches are planned for v1.4.1.

  2. Read the code evidence for the period

    Each pull request carries sealed code results against the blueprint’s rules, pinned to the commit and the rule-set version in force.

  3. Test a sample

    For each sampled record, check its results, then verify its signature and its place in the chain offline.

How each fact was obtained

Every fact in a record and a report carries one of six labels, so your auditor knows how far to rely on it.

Recomputed
Toevan computed it from the code or git history itself.
Re-perform it from the same inputs and get the same result.
Reported + sealed
GitHub reported it; Toevan captured it at the event and signed it.
Rely on it as far as you rely on GitHub. Any later change is detectable.
Declared + sealed
The organisation declared it, such as a change to what is checked; Toevan signed the declaration and its history.
See who declared what, when, and every later change.
Toevan record, not sealed
Held in Toevan’s database but not sealed in the ledger, such as a waiver today. Nothing protects it by a signature.
Treat it as Toevan’s statement, and ask the organisation for the approval behind it.
Consumed
Taken from another system’s signed record, such as build provenance, and linked by commit or digest. Planned.
Check the original record independently.
Not captured
No reliable source was available. Toevan does not infer it.
Obtain it from the organisation by other means.
