Governance & audit labs

Assessment the way it actually runs — test a control against its stated design, produce artifacts a third party can re-run, and turn findings into rated, owned, dated risk decisions.

11 labs across 4 stages. Prerequisites are advice, not a lock — you can open any lab, but the ones listed underneath it are what it assumes.

1 · Controls and evidence

What a control claims, how you test it, and what counts as evidence.

2 · Monitoring assurance

A logging or detection control is only assured when you can show it collects, matches and notifies.

3 · Risk and incident governance

Findings become risk decisions; incidents become regulatory clocks.

  • cmp-201Continuous control monitoring, honestly45 min

    Audit and control evidence · Risk and policy governance

    T1562.002 Impair Defenses: Disable Windows Event Logging

    Assumes first:

    • ran-410 — Continuous monitoring is the after-action control uplift, kept honest between incidents.
    • ag-l20-full-shift — Agent autonomy is a control that has to keep proving itself between shifts, not once at the capstone.
  • ir-201The 72-hour clock45 min

    Incident triage · Evidence handling · Risk and policy governance

    T1070 Indicator Removal

    Assumes first:

    • ran-401 — The regulatory clock only makes sense once you have run the recovery room it runs alongside.

4 · Assessment capstones

Run an assessment end to end, including the recovery control that only a control test can settle.
