Custom packs are your organization’s own DRAFT interpretation — always surfaced as
such (
source: tenant), never as the counsel-reviewed baseline. Mappings are draft,
pending your own counsel’s review; Wardin doesn’t certify them, and nothing here makes you
“compliant.” Scope is gateway-routed traffic only.Framework opt-in
By default every baseline framework shows on your EVIDENCE coverage surfaces. In Console → Organization → Compliance Frameworks, a manager can narrow that to just the frameworks your organization is audited against — a view filter only; the pack mappings themselves stay in-repo. Selecting all frameworks (the default) means a newly-added pack appears automatically.Custom packs (BYO mappings)
When the built-in frameworks don’t cover a framework you need — an internal standard, or a regulation we haven’t shipped a pack for yet — you can author your own in Console → Compliance Packs. A custom pack is a YAML file that maps your controls to the gateway’s in-path checks (BUDGET, ALLOWLIST, GUARDRAIL, UPSTREAM). On save it is validated fail-closed:
the same schema + referential-integrity checks the baseline packs pass at boot run on
your pack, and a malformed pack is rejected with an error — it never persists, so it can
never mis-cite at query time.
Once saved, your pack is merged behind the baseline: it overrides a baseline framework
at the same effective date, or adds a new framework/version. Everything downstream — the
coverage map, per-control receipt queries, the attestation, and
the Evidence Bundle — resolves against your merged set,
with tenant-authored packs always marked distinctly from the baseline.
How it stays trustworthy
- Content-hashed. Every pack is
sha256-hashed over its exact bytes; that hash is verified each time the pack loads (a silent database edit of a pack is detected and the pack is skipped, never served as the audited one). - Reproducible offline. Unlike baseline packs (reproducible from git), a custom pack
has no external copy — so its exact bytes are snapshotted into every Evidence Bundle
(active and archived), and its
packHashtravels with any citation. An auditor can reproduce a tenant-authored mapping without trusting us. - Audited. Every create / edit / archive / restore is recorded with who, what, and the content hash — visible as change history and carried in the bundle.
- Archive, don’t delete. Disabling a pack archives it (kept for reproducibility); restoring it re-merges it.
A custom pack is always stored and rendered as DRAFT, regardless of what its YAML
declares — a tenant-authored mapping can never present itself with counsel-reviewed
authority.
