Abstract

Techniques are disclosed for usage-tracking of various information security (InfoSec) entities for tenants/organization onboarded on an instant multi-tenant security assurance platform. The InfoSec entities include policies, procedures, controls and evidence tasks. A policy or procedure is enforced by implementing one or more controls, and the collection of one or more evidence tasks proves/verifies the implementation of a control. The InfoSec entities are linked to each other across the platform and accrue a number of benefits for the tenants. These include automatically/continuously creating asset populations and drawing samples from the asset populations for auditing. The population samples may be generated by entering natural language queries in the platform. Asset data from the asset populations is used to feed/populate various other modules and systems used by the tenant of the platform.
