Compliance management

The compliance engine evaluates configured policy against organization records and selected operational actions.

Frameworks organize the policies and checklists used to evaluate controlled operations.

Configuration model

Component	Purpose
Framework	Groups requirements under a regulation, standard, or internal policy.
Compliance level	Represents severity or operational significance.
Regulatory tag	Classifies an entity or procedure.
Mapping	Connects a tag to a framework and level.
Authorization rule	Makes an action allowed, approval-required, or blocked for a level.
Applicability scope	Limits where a rule or checklist applies.
Checklist	Defines confirmations and evidence to collect.

Evaluation

When a controlled action occurs, FlaskTrack resolves the regulatory surface inherited from the entity and related records, evaluates active framework mappings, determines the effective level, applies authorization rules, and identifies applicable checklists.

The current policy result should be tested with representative records before production use. The policy matrix helps explain the effective result across frameworks.

Approval-required actions

When policy requires approval, the original action should remain pending until an authorized reviewer approves or rejects it. The decision, reviewer, timestamp, and related evidence should remain associated with the request.

Administration practices

• Keep frameworks focused and named clearly.
• Avoid duplicate tags with overlapping meanings.
• Use the smallest effective scope.
• Require evidence only when it is useful and reviewable.
• Test conflicts across multiple active frameworks.
• Record the configuration version included in each validation cycle.
