How to Use
As Audit Checklists
1. Copy the relevant .md file into your project repo or wiki.
2. Work through each checkbox item. Mark [x] for pass, leave [ ] for fail.
3. Add notes next to failed items with remediation plans and owners.
In CI/CD
Many checklist items map to automated checks. Look for items tagged [AUTO] — these can be implemented as pipeline gates (static analysis, dependency scanning, secret detection).
For Compliance
The SOC 2 and GDPR checklists include control IDs and article references. Use these to create a compliance mapping document for your auditor.
For Penetration Testing
The pentest methodology follows a sequential workflow. Work through it phase by phase. Each phase lists tools (generic descriptions, not specific products) and expected outputs.
