Question 1

How often should we run this audit?

Accepted Answer

Run a full 10-point audit quarterly at minimum. Run targeted audits (specific points only) after any NemoClaw version upgrade, policy change, or infrastructure modification. Automate points 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 8 as daily checks in your monitoring system — these can be scripted and run without human intervention. Points 7, 9, and 10 require human judgment and should be performed manually during quarterly reviews.

Question 2

What if we fail Audit Point 9 because we do not use CrowdStrike?

Accepted Answer

Point 9 is "if applicable." If your organization uses a different EDR platform, substitute your vendor's equivalent checks. The requirement is not CrowdStrike specifically — it is that the NemoClaw host has endpoint detection and response coverage, that agent processes are monitored, and that anomalous behavior generates alerts in your SOC. If you have no EDR coverage at all, that is a separate infrastructure gap that extends beyond NemoClaw.

Question 3

Can we automate this audit?

Accepted Answer

Partially. Points 1–6 and 8 can be fully automated as shell scripts that run on a schedule and alert on failures. Point 7 (YAML policy review) requires human judgment to assess whether the policy is appropriate for the agent's function, not just syntactically correct. Point 9 requires verifying console-side configuration in your EDR platform. Point 10 (kill switch test) should be performed manually because automated kill switch testing in production risks terminating a working agent. ManageMyClaw's Enterprise Managed Care includes automated daily audits for points 1–6 and 8, with quarterly manual reviews for points 7, 9, and 10.

Question 4

How does this relate to the 14-point OpenClaw audit checklist?

Accepted Answer

Our 14-point OpenClaw audit checklist covers the base OpenClaw platform, which has no built-in sandbox, no policy engine, and no privacy router. That checklist focuses on adding security controls that OpenClaw lacks. This 10-point NemoClaw checklist verifies that NemoClaw's built-in security controls are correctly configured and actively enforced. If you are migrating from OpenClaw to NemoClaw, run the OpenClaw audit first to understand your starting posture, then use this NemoClaw audit after deployment to verify the new controls are operational.

Question 5

What compliance frameworks does this audit support?

Accepted Answer

This checklist maps to SOC2 (access controls in points 1, 4, 5, 7; audit logging in point 8), HIPAA (data privacy in point 3; access controls in points 4, 7; audit trail in point 8), GDPR (data residency in point 3), and the EU AI Act (agent governance in points 2, 7, 10; transparency in point 8). The OWASP ASI column in the scorecard maps each point to the specific agentic AI risk it mitigates. This mapping is useful for compliance teams building evidence packages and for security teams prioritizing remediation.
