Navigate to: **Sidebar → Cyber Security → Tasks** 2. Use the available **filters** to narrow down and locate the required tasks. 3. Once you find the relevant task: - Click the **three-dot menu** next to the task. - Select **“New Evidence”**. 4. Upload or link the appropriate document as evidence for that task. This method is recommended when you are working directly with a specific task and want to attach evidence immediately. --- #### **Option 2: *Sidebar → Audit Room → Evidence*** 1. Navigate to: **Sidebar → Audit Room → Evidences** 2. Use the available **filters** to locate specific framework requirements or tasks. 3. Create and assign new evidence to the relevant task from this section. This method is useful when you are managing multiple pieces of evidence at once or working primarily from a documentation perspective. --- #### **How to Create New Evidence** 1. Click on **New Evidence**. 2. A new evidence submission form will open.. 3. Fill in Evidence Details When adding new evidence, complete the following fields: - The **Company** and the related **Task** will be pre-selected automatically. - Add clear and detailed **comments** describing your findings and relevant context. - Attach any **supporting files**, such as documents, screenshots, logs, or system exports. - If applicable, set an **expiry date** for the evidence (e.g., for time-bound policies or certifications). - You may also upload a file directly from your **Copla Drive** if the document is already stored there. Once all required information has been added, click **Save** to submit the evidence. --- #### **Attachments (Proof of Evidence)** Each evidence submission must include **attachments** that clearly demonstrate compliance with the specific task requirement. Acceptable Attachments - **Documents** (e.g., policies, procedures, contracts, internal guidelines) - **System outputs** (e.g., screenshots, logs, configuration exports) --- #### **Specifications** To ensure audit readiness, clearly state: - **Where** the evidence can be found (document name, page number, section, clause, or reference number) - **How** the attachment satisfies the requirement --- #### **Best Practice Reminders** - Ensure that every attachment directly maps to the task requirement. - Ambiguous, incomplete, or weakly linked evidence may result in rejection and require resubmission. - Upload the correct **document type** (policy, screenshot, log, etc.). - Provide clear comments explaining how the evidence supports the requirement. - Verify that each **Network Security task** (and other framework tasks) has appropriate and complete supporting documentation. - [Core Guardian](https://support.copla.com/core-guardian?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Instructions](https://support.copla.com/core-guardian?hsLang=en#general-instructions) - [Additional Information](https://support.copla.com/core-guardian?hsLang=en#additional-information) - [Demo Platform](https://support.copla.com/core-guardian?hsLang=en#demo-platform) - [Integration Setups](https://support.copla.com/core-guardian?hsLang=en#integration-setups) - [Copla Registry](https://support.copla.com/copla-registry?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting started](https://support.copla.com/copla-registry?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Completing the Register](https://support.copla.com/copla-registry?hsLang=en#completing-the-register) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.copla.com/copla-registry?hsLang=en#troubleshooting) - [FAQ](https://support.copla.com/copla-registry?hsLang=en#faq) - [VendrIQ](https://support.copla.com/vendriq?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Trial](https://support.copla.com/vendriq?hsLang=en#trial) - [Overview](https://support.copla.com/vendriq?hsLang=en#overview) [![main-black-pinkglasses](https://support.copla.com/hubfs/main-black-pinkglasses.svg "main-black-pinkglasses")](http://copla.com) [support@copla.com](mailto:support@copla.com) [mailto:support@copla.com](mailto:support@copla.com) Copyright © 2026, Copla
