kontrollproofid

Kontrollproofid is a term that appears in some Estonian-speaking or translated contexts to denote evidentiary items that demonstrate that a particular control or verification step has been carried out and remains effective. It is not a standardized term in English-language standards, and its precise meaning can vary by domain and organization.

Usage and examples vary by field. In regulatory compliance and internal audits, kontrollproofid may include sign-off records, test results, calibration certificates, change-management logs, access-control lists, audit trails, and screenshots that show procedures were followed. In manufacturing, they can be records proving quality controls were performed, such as inspection reports, lot-release documents, or calibration records. In information security and risk management, proofs provide evidence that controls such as access control, monitoring, backup, and incident response are in place; examples include configuration baselines, system logs, and policy attestations.

Relation to standards and frameworks: the concept aligns with the broader practice of evidence gathering and control testing used in frameworks like COSO, ISO/IEC 27001, and SOC 2. The objective is to demonstrate, through verifiable documentation, that controls operate as intended and are traceable over time. Because kontrollproofid is not a formal term in these standards, it often functions as a translation or informal label for the supporting documentation that auditors examine.
