Compliance

A scan result becomes audit evidence — not just a CSV.

Most SMBs have a vulnerability-scanning obligation but no security team. Perimeter maps every finding to the exact control it satisfies, with a timestamp, so your auditor gets evidence instead of a raw export.

The mandates driving this

PCI DSS 4.0

Req. 11.3 mandates internal and external vulnerability scans. Perimeter does both and tags findings 11.3.1 / 11.3.2.

HIPAA 2026

The 2026 Security Rule makes 6-month vuln scans + annual pen test required, no longer addressable. Provable scan recency.

CMMC L2 / 800-171

RA.L2-3.11.2 / 3.11.3 (scan + remediate). Open critical/KEV findings feed Bastion's POA&M with due dates.

Mappings are the product-local denormalization of the shared evidence graph; the authoritative cross-product contract is the Keystone canonical evidence object + evidence refs.

Every finding is a signed evidence record

A control mapping is the start, not the end. Expand any finding and export a per-finding evidence record: a timestamped, self-describing audit artifact that bundles the assessed object, the detection (engines, corroboration, the de-noise verdict), the exploit intel (EPSS + KEV), the remediation state and SLA, and the exact controls it satisfies — including the Keystone evidence_refs shape so it publishes to the shared graph unchanged.

HMAC-signed

Each record is wrapped in a detached HMAC-SHA256 signature over a canonical, key-sorted serialization, with the signing timestamp bound into the signed material — it can't be edited or back-dated without breaking verification.

Tamper-evident

Change a single character and the signature no longer verifies. An auditor or insurer gets an artifact they can independently check, not a CSV they have to take on faith.

The scan IS the evidence

You don't write a separate report saying "we scanned and found X." The record proves it — with a timestamp, a control reference, and the exploit context behind the priority.

The whole finding set also exports as an evidence pack (audit binder) and as printable PCI / HIPAA / SOC 2 / CMMC report packs with a control-evidence appendix. See Compliance evidence in the Help Center.

Deferred / hosted Locally a non-secret demo key signs the record so the flow works with no server (proving integrity). In the cloud tier a per-tenant key minted and held in Keystone signs server-side (additionally proving provenance) — the browser never sees the key.

Collect once, satisfy many

Because Perimeter publishes to the DosanjhLabs shared evidence graph, one scan result satisfies the matching control in Sightline (across 22+ frameworks), Bastion (800-171 SSP/POA&M) and Ward (HIPAA) simultaneously — no re-entry. No standalone scanner can do this, because none is a suite.
