Lab — Capstone
Execute capstone on `$GRC_LAB` — checklist, lab path, evidence pack sealed; zero forged refs.
Visual · t37_capstone_lab
Capstone: checklist × $GRC_LAB literacy evidence. Original Cyberlium.
Close the GRC literacy loop — gaps honest, evidence LAB-labeled, reports scoped — without stranger org audit abuse or forged certification artifacts.
Walk Topic 37 checklist on YOUR `$GRC_LAB`: verify org template inventory, lab path current, mapping through reporting packs indexed, scan for forged artifacts and stranger org audit notes (must be zero). Update index with capstone UTC completion. Integrity paragraph: fictional org discipline and gap/evidence key insight from YOUR path. No stranger org audits, no forged artifacts, no fake certifications, no lab-as-live-employer fraud, no hidden gaps on board summary. Optional mentor review — three clarity questions. Secure notes chmod 600 after if brief requires.
1. Execute checklist
Check each row; link artifact or N/A labeled LAB; confirm zero forged refs in any file.
Scan sealed pack for unauthorized stranger org data — remove before handoff.

2. Integrity paragraph
Fictional org inventory + LAB label discipline + honest gap key → professional handoff idea from YOUR lab path.
Name what breaks if you skip LAB labels or forge artifacts — ethics tie-in.
3. Shutdown
Notes secured chmod 600; index signed complete UTC.
Ready for Topic 38 ICS/SCADA Security on separate authorized track.
4. What you ship: capstone evidence pack complete
Checked checklist + sealed literacy pack + integrity paragraph + zero forged scan.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Capstone pack path. $GRC_LAB quiet.
6. Wrong vs right: fraudulent certs vs YOUR lab templates
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
- Wrong: Capstone includes forged ISO certificate walkthrough as bonus exhibit.
- Right: Capstone complete on $GRC_LAB with full teardown. Next: topic quiz.
Mission: Topic 37 capstone
1) Walk checklist with evidence links. 2) Integrity paragraph from your path. 3) Seal pack — zero forged refs. 4) Sign index UTC complete.
