| **Workflow Check**  | A time-driven compliance task that requires evidence submission at scheduled intervals.                                                                  |

| **Active Check**    | A Workflow Check that is currently enabled and will trigger according to its defined schedule.                                                           |
| **Due**             | A status indicating that a Workflow Check is ready to be completed.                                                                                      |

| **Evidence**        | Documentation submitted to prove that the requirements of a Workflow Check have been met (for example, reports, screenshots, or policy updates).         |
