Evidence Architecture Patterns: Basics
RCCE students will learn audit evidence collection, management, and presentation including evidence types, collection methodologies, evidence repositories, and evidence lifecycle management. RCCE students will learn to identify the types of evidence required for various compliance frameworks, develop evidence collection procedures that produce consistent and reliable results, configure automated evidence collection from security tools and systems, manage evidence repositories with proper access controls and versioning, validate evidence quality and completeness, present evidence packages to internal and external auditors, and maintain evidence retention schedules that meet regulatory requirements. This architecture course teaches secure system design using proven patterns, guardrails, and reference architectures. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to evaluate design options against security requirements, make informed trade-off decisions, and build systems that are resilient by design. Students gain the architectural thinking skills needed for security engineering and solution design roles.
