+# Continuous Compliance
+
+This template follows the [Continuous Compliance][continuous-compliance] methodology, which ensures
+compliance evidence is generated automatically on every CI run.

+- **Requirements Traceability**: Every requirement is linked to passing tests, and a trace matrix is
+  auto-generated on each release
+- **Linting Enforcement**: markdownlint, cspell, and yamllint are enforced before any build proceeds
+- **Automated Audit Documentation**: Each release ships with generated requirements, justifications,
+  trace matrix, and quality reports
+- **CodeQL and SonarCloud**: Security and quality analysis runs on every build
