What a MAS TRM Compliance Checklist Can Claim — And What It Cannot Prove
A checklist can organize audit readiness. It can track status, ownership, and attached files. It cannot prove system state at a specific point in time unless each row maps to timestamped, source-bound evidence requirements.
This table compares what a MAS TRM compliance checklist item can claim with what it cannot prove. It lists five example checklist items: TLS enabled, certificate valid, logging enabled, access reviewed, and vendor control confirmed. For each item, the table identifies the missing proof gap and the evidence fields needed, such as observed_at, source_system, collector, certificate_not_after, collection_method, log_source, sample_window, identity_source, exported_at, evidence_type, and attestation_date.
