Abstract
Providing an accurate and on-demand status of audit compliance is disclosed. A security policy, agreed upon by a service provider and a service user, is provisioned in a compliance log. A service provider requests to add a first update to the compliance log, the first update indicating that a compliance action has been taken. The first update is added to the compliance log, and a first computational digest of the compliance log is added after adding the first update. An auditor of the compliance action requests to add a second update to the compliance log. The second update is added to the compliance log, and a second computational digest of the compliance log is added after adding the second update. Thereby, the user is provided a more current view of audit compliance that that can be trusted based on the tamper-proof compliance log.
