Definitions
| Type | Definition | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Noun | An artifact is a part of an asset specifically called out during the audit process. They are used as objects that help determine that status of the asset (the log as an artifact to determine who accessed the asset), the configuration of the asset (a software artifact being checked for its configuration status), or the activities surrounding an asset (the transit bill showing where a container has been). An artifact may also help determine a specific process (such as a procedure document as audit artifact), or define behavioral norms (a policy as an audit artifact). It should be noted that artifacts are not evidence. An artifact is the object itself submitted for testing or examination. The evidence is found within the artifact -- it is the means by which an alleged matter of fact is established or disproved. If the artifact is a log, then the evidence for whom accessed the system is the logged system access records within with artifact. (used 9 times in citations and controls) |
