## Compliance Frameworks

Documentation in this section is structured to support:

* **SOC 2 Type II** -- Trust service criteria (security, availability, confidentiality)
* **Internal controls** -- Equa-specific security policies and procedures
* **Customer due diligence** -- Information for enterprise customer security reviews

## How to Document a Control

1. Copy `templates/compliance-control.md` into `compliance/`.
2. Assign a Control ID and map to the relevant framework.
3. Cite implementation evidence from the codebase.
4. Update this index and `README.md` when the status changes.
