Audit-grade governance of access and evidence What it does Where it fits Who uses it Financial services, Healthcare, Public sector, Critical infrastructure CP-06 topology ## How CP-06 proves compliance through control. A VAULT-led pattern. Every governed action produces signed evidence; every protected dataset is reachable only as a named, recorded event; everything is sealed offline. Grounded in ISO 27001 A.5.34, A.8.15, A.8.16 and NIST CSF GV.OC-3.

How the primary modules compose 1. 1 Validate VAULT Checks the request, command or approval before anything proceeds. https://fire-vault.com/control/modules/validate 2. 2 Lock VAULT Holds the asset behind identity, role and policy controls. https://fire-vault.com/control/modules/lock 3. 3 Archive VAULT Preserves the records, logs and evidence the control produced. https://fire-vault.com/control/modules/archive Supporting modules - Transfer VAULT Governs what moves between protected environments. https://fire-vault.com/control/modules/transfer - Relay FIRE Opens a temporary, time-bound window for an approved purpose. https://fire-vault.com/control/modules/relay - Execute FIRE Fires the control action the moment a signal demands it. https://fire-vault.com/control/modules/execute - Firebreak FIRE Physically breaks the connection path so the attack cannot continue. https://fire-vault.com/control/modules/firebreak 03 How it reads end to end ## The Blueprint in full. Validate checks the request or command before it proceeds. Lock proves access was restricted. Archive proves records, logs and evidence were preserved. Transfer proves data movement was controlled, Relay proves access was temporary, Execute proves the control fired and Firebreak proves the control was physical, not just policy-based. 04 Sector relevance ## Where CP-06 applies.
