Compliance Reporting

Compliance Reporting

Generate compliance status reports for "$ARGUMENTS" at three levels — executive summary, detailed operational, and customer-facing — to communicate compliance posture to all stakeholders.

Prerequisites

Read .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/00-scope.md. If this file does not exist, tell the user:

Phase 0 (Scope) has not been completed for "$ARGUMENTS". Run /compliance:regulatory-landscape $ARGUMENTS first, or use --skip-checks to bypass.

If --skip-checks is present in $ARGUMENTS, skip this check.

Process

1. Read context files:

   • Read plugins/compliance/shared/grc-lifecycle-guide.md for GRC methodology reference
   • Read .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/00-scope.md for scope and applicable regulations
   • Read .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/02-remediate.md for gap and remediation status
   • Read .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/03-certify.md for certification status
   • Read .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/04-monitor.md for monitoring and calendar data

2. Executive summary report:

   • Overall compliance score (weighted across all regulations)
   • RAG (Red/Amber/Green) status per regulation
   • Key risks requiring leadership attention
   • Resource asks — budget, headcount, tools
   • Progress since last report (trend data)
   • Upcoming milestones and deadlines

3. Detailed operational report:

   • Per-regulation status with control-level detail
   • Open findings with aging and remediation status
   • Evidence collection status and gaps
   • Audit preparation progress
   • Team workload and capacity
   • Detailed risk register with mitigations

4. Customer-facing report:

   • Trust page content — certifications held, security overview
   • SOC 2 report summary (bridge letter if report is pending)
   • Compliance certifications held with validity dates
   • Security and privacy commitments
   • Sub-processor list and data processing transparency
   • FAQ for common customer security questions

5. Reporting cadence:

   • Monthly: operational report to security/compliance team
   • Quarterly: executive summary to leadership/board
   • Annually: strategic compliance review
   • On-demand: customer-facing reports for sales enablement
   • Define report distribution lists and access controls

6. Trend analysis:

   • Compliance posture improvement over time
   • Finding closure rate trends
   • Time-to-remediate trends
   • Audit finding trends (fewer/more findings each cycle)

7. Write the artifact to .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/04-monitor.md (append to existing) with sections:

   • Executive Summary Template — leadership-ready compliance overview
   • Operational Report Template — detailed compliance operations status
   • Customer-Facing Report Template — trust page and customer communication content
   • Reporting Cadence — schedule, audience, and distribution
   • Trend Data — compliance posture trends and metrics

Output

The compliance reporting framework appended to .metapowers/compliance/$ARGUMENTS/04-monitor.md. Present a summary to the user highlighting:
