Get compliance evidence reviewed and approved
An auditor asks who reviewed production access this quarter. Use an evidence record to collect the supporting files and get an approver's decision on what they prove.
Chapter 01
Which access review are we proving?
Say your team reviews production access every quarter. The evidence request needs to identify that review and the period it covers. Create an evidence record for the request. An old export with a familiar filename can otherwise look like the answer to this quarter's question.

Chapter 02
Attach the review and the follow-up work.
Attach the access-review file and, if accounts needed removing, a reference to the ticket that tracked that work. Link the evidence to the relevant controls. The reviewer can then inspect the source material behind the claim instead of trying to reconstruct the review from a folder of exports.

Chapter 03
Give the approver something they can check.
Assign an approver and submit the record. Does the export cover the right systems and dates? Does the ticket support the claimed access removal? Those are questions for the reviewer. Sythe Labs routes the evidence to the assigned person; uploading the file doesn't approve it.
03 / Review · the assigned approver checks the claim
Chapter 04
Replaced the file? Get it reviewed again.
If you change an attachment to point to a different file or reference, Sythe Labs revokes the record's standing approval. The replacement needs review. Correcting an attachment's label leaves approval intact, so a filename cleanup doesn't send valid evidence back through approval.
