FIPS Traces
FIPS documentation built from spreadsheets, screenshots and quarterly audit reports goes stale when container images update daily or hourly. This architecture insight introduces FIPS-Traces, CleanStart's framework that turns manual FIPS documentation into signed, machine-verifiable evidence: every build records validated modules, certificate identifiers and configuration states, backed by in-toto provenance and SLSA Level 4 integrity. It aligns with NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 and FedRAMP ConMon and cuts audit preparation time from weeks to minutes.
