Data Storage
All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/compliance/. Each command writes to its own .log file (e.g., audit.log, policy.log). A unified history.log tracks all activity with timestamps.
Requirements
- Bash 4+
- Standard Unix utilities (
wc,du,tail,grep,date,sed)
When to Use
- Logging compliance audit findings, policy checks, and security events with timestamps
- Tracking credential rotations, revocations, and strength checks over time
- Recording data store/retrieve operations for audit trail purposes
- Searching historical compliance entries by keyword
- Exporting compliance records to JSON, CSV, or plain text for regulatory reporting
