Whether an AWS call fetches evidence for this control, and what to run. Its Rev5 baselines, the indicators that reach it and the FedRAMP guidance attached to it open below.

Partial1 of 1 recipe reaches AU-12, and none is rated full — the output narrows the question, a human judgement closes it.

The calls

Collect evidence (1)

Authored AWS recipes whose output is evidence for AU-12. This mapping is this project’s opinion (overlay v3.0.0), versioned separately from the dataset — the upstream FedRAMP rules name none of these tools.

What NIST requires of AU-12

The control statement from NIST 800-53 Rev5, verbatim. Square brackets are organization-defined parameters — yours to set, not FedRAMP's to dictate.

a. Provide audit record generation capability for the event types the system is capable of auditing as defined in [AU-2a](#au-2_smt.a) on [system components]; b. Allow [personnel or roles] to select the event types that are to be logged by specific components of the system; and c. Generate audit records for the event types defined in [AU-2c](#au-2_smt.c) that include the audit record content defined in [AU-3](#au-3).

NIST SP 800-53 Rev5 catalog 5.2.0, from usnistgov/oscal-content at 78650f0. The FedRAMP dataset carries no control text; this is borrowed and pinned.

Rev5 baseline membership

Membership is the whole relationship — a baseline is a set of control ids. Class A carries no baseline at all. The Low/Moderate/High labels are an interpretation from control counts, not a dataset fact.

KSI indicators reaching this control (1)

Under 20x, these indicators are how this control is demonstrated — automated KSI evidence stands in for narrative control evidence.

FedRAMP guidance & parameters

Where you read the rule. Guidance names an FRR document, never a clause, so the links below offer the whole document and leave the reading to you.

Pages exist for the 209 controls reached by at least one KSI. Baseline-only controls are the orphans on /coverage. Control titles and full text live in the NIST catalog, not this dataset.
