APRA CPS 230 Compliance Evidence That Captures Itself

CPS 230 requires regulated entities to manage operational risk end-to-end. Boards now carry personal liability for operational resilience. APRA expects continuous evidence that critical operations can withstand disruption, not point-in-time attestations assembled under deadline pressure. Evidence must be current, traceable, and independently verifiable.

Locarde captures this evidence automatically from your engineering pipelines, so compliance teams stop chasing screenshots and start producing audit-ready proof.

CPS 230 mandates a living register of Material Service Providers with step-in plans. Banks know who their vendors are. They don't know who their vendors' vendors are. CPS 230 explicitly flags reliance on self-attestation as insufficient. APRA expects verifiable evidence of ongoing oversight, not annual questionnaires that go stale within weeks.

Locarde's trust manifests provide fourth-party visibility without requiring access to vendor source code, giving you a verified chain of custody for every software component in your supply chain.

Seven months post-enforcement, the hard part isn't building the register. It's keeping it current and proving ongoing oversight to APRA. Compliance teams are drowning in manual evidence collection under deadline pressure, producing weak traceability and repeated follow-up requests from internal audit, external audit, and regulators.

Locarde turns this from a quarterly fire drill into a continuous, automated process where evidence freshness is measured in hours, not months.
