Lifecycle-aware readiness

Evidence decays — so track its currency

Netallion tracks ownership and expiry on every evidence item, so an eleven-month-old attestation or an expired penetration test never quietly passes for current. You always know which evidence is fresh across every framework.

How it works

When the evidence moves, the readiness moves

A control attestation from eleven months ago, an expired test, a withdrawn policy — each should change the picture, not sit unnoticed.

Expiry & withdrawal tracked

Every evidence item carries an owner and an expiry, so items approaching or past their use-by date are visible before they cause a surprise.

Affected requirements re-evaluated

You can see which requirements a given evidence item supports, so when it lapses you know exactly what to refresh.

The reason is recorded

Ownership and expiry history give you a clear trail of how your evidence position has changed over time.

What you see

One expiry, followed through

A penetration test underpinned three requirements. Twelve months on, it lapses. Here is the chain of events that follows — with nothing depending on someone remembering to check.

  1. Day 0 — evidence in date

    The penetration test is attached to three requirements, owned and current. Those requirements read as evidenced.

  2. Day 365 — expiry reached

    The tracked expiry date passes. The item flips to expired against every requirement that relied on it.

  3. Day 365 — surfaced for attention

    The three requirements show the lapsed item, so you know exactly what to refresh — the expiry is visible before it becomes a surprise.

  4. The position stays honest

    Because expiry is tracked per item, an eleven-month-old attestation never quietly passes for current across your frameworks.

Where the boundary sits

This is reassessment triggered by changes to tracked evidence — not real-time or continuous monitoring of your live controls, and not “continuous assurance.” Readiness reflects the evidence on file, under a readiness-not-certification boundary.

Readiness, not certification. Netallion provides evidence assurance and readiness assessment; it does not issue or guarantee any formal outcome. Where a framework has a formal certification, attestation, authorisation or conformity-assessment scheme, that outcome remains with the appropriately authorised third party or authority. Where the boundary sits.
