Compliance

Prove every production change was authorized. All of them, not a sample.

Auditors ask the same question in every framework: was this change requested, approved, tested and made by someone allowed to make it? Nakana answers it for every change, as it happens, with the evidence attached.

Full population

No more sampling

Every change in scope has a record: what, who, when, why and the verdict. Auditors can test the whole population or pick their own sample from it.

Exceptions first

Fix it before the audit

Changes with no reason are flagged the day they happen. The person who made them is asked, and a retroactive change request is opened if needed.

Export

Evidence in the format they want

Change population reports by system and period, with linked tickets, approvals, commits and pipeline runs, as CSV or PDF, or written back to ServiceNow.

Control mapping

Where Nakana's records fit

Nakana provides evidence for these controls. It doesn't make you compliant on its own, and your auditor decides what's sufficient.

FrameworkControlsWhat Nakana provides

What an auditor sees

One record per change

The same record works for the auditor, the security team and the engineer who made the change.
