Once governance is established, the next question is: "How do we prove we are following the rules?" Auditing is inherently repetitive evidence collection, mapping, and reporting. AWS Audit Manager automates this process — automatically mapping AWS activities and configurations as evidence to control items of predefined regulatory frameworks, producing audit-ready reports. In the security exam, Audit Manager is "the tool for automatically collecting continuous compliance evidence," and its integration with Config, CloudTrail, and Security Hub is key.
