Show HN: Ex-Deloitte auditor open-sourced the whole SOC 2 method for your AI
Chiaro methodology This is the complete Chiaro methodology for SOC 2 readiness and audit: the control library we test against, the criteria each control maps to, the evidence we accept, and the rules the collection runs under. Readiness and the examination run on the same framework, so the bar a company prepares against is the bar the examination applies. It is published because the alternative to showing your work is asking people to take it on faith, and a compliance industry that ran on faith is why anyone is reading this.
