# ScalePad ControlMap (Compliance)

## Overview

ControlMap is ScalePad's compliance product: per-client risk
registers, control libraries mapped to framework objectives, evidence
collection, policies/procedures/governance documents, assessments,
and action items. Regional: set `X-ScalePad-Region` to `us` (default),
`eu`, `ca`, or `au` to match the tenant's data residency. Discover
this domain's tools with `scalepad_navigate` (domain `controlmap`).
Search endpoints are
POST with filter bodies upstream — the tools accept normal filter
arguments.

## Anti-triggers

- **Assessments and action items on a vCIO roadmap** — Lifecycle
  Manager has identically named objects under `scalepad_lm_*`. An LM
  assessment scores a client's IT maturity for a QBR; a ControlMap
  assessment answers a framework questionnaire. Use
  `scalepad-lifecycle-manager` for the roadmap side.
- **A misconfigured tenant setting rather than a control** —
  "conditional access is off", "MFA is not enforced" is a
  configuration baseline, not a framework control. Use `cipp`
  (`cipp-standards`), `inforcer`
  (`inforcer-baseline-alignment`), or `m365-security`.
- **Vendor-agnostic evidence-mapping and questionnaire workflow** — the
  cross-platform method lives in the `compliance-pack`
  (`evidence-mapping`, `insurance-questionnaires`); this skill is the
  ControlMap tool calls behind it.
- **Backup evidence** — proving backups run is `scalepad-backup-radar`
  or the `backup-pack`; attach the result here as evidence afterwards.

## Common Workflows

1. **Compliance posture check** — `scalepad_cm_health_list`, then
   `scalepad_cm_risks_list_summaries` and
   `scalepad_cm_controls_list_summaries` for the weak spots.
2. **Evidence chase** — `scalepad_cm_evidence_search` for stale or
   missing evidence, then `scalepad_cm_evidence_requests_create` to
   request updates from the client.
3. **Risk remediation** — `scalepad_cm_risks_search` for high
   severity, `scalepad_cm_action_items_create` for each remediation,
   `scalepad_cm_risks_map` to link mitigating controls.

## Error Handling

402 means no active ControlMap subscription. A 404 on a known-good ID
usually means the wrong region — verify `X-ScalePad-Region` matches
the tenant. Deletes are irreversible.

## Best Practices

- Always confirm the region before a write; ControlMap data is
  region-partitioned (us/eu/ca/au).
- Prefer `*_list_summaries` tools for dashboards — they are cheaper
  than full search + get loops.
- Use signed-URL tools for documents instead of re-uploading.
