A.8.1 Audit Evidence Pack

What the auditor wants to verify

Audit objective

Verify that information stored on, processed by, or accessible through user endpoint devices is protected by policy, baseline controls, technical enforcement, and user awareness.

Evidence to request

Evidence	Purpose
Endpoint policy/standard	Shows endpoint rules are defined
Endpoint inventory	Shows devices are known
MDM/endpoint compliance reports	Shows technical controls are enforced
Patch/EDR/encryption reports	Shows baseline security status
Remote access configuration/logs	Shows secure access controls
BYOD enrollment/removal records	Shows personal-device control
Loss/theft response records	Shows incident response readiness
User training records	Shows awareness

Strong evidence

Device inventory includes managed and BYOD endpoints.
Compliance reports show patching, encryption, screen lock, and malware/EDR status.
Remote access requires strong authentication and approved connection methods.
Users know loss/theft reporting steps.
BYOD access is governed and removable.

Weak evidence

Policy exists but no device compliance data exists.
BYOD is allowed informally.
Users can disable lock screens.
Patch status is unknown.
Lost device process is not understood.

Sample interview questions

What devices are allowed to access organizational information?
What should you do if a laptop or phone is lost?
Can you store work data locally?
Which networks are safe for remote access?
What endpoint controls are mandatory?

Common nonconformities

Endpoint inventory incomplete.
Unmanaged BYOD access.
Encryption not enforced.
Screen lock disabled or weak timeout.
Remote access allowed from non-compliant devices.
User training missing.
