**Reference ID:** SYSARCH-AUDIT-2025-353
**Subject:** Syndicate Strategic Convergence Engine (Version 5.0.12)
**Date of Review:** 2025-05-24

This memorandum summarizes the findings from the architectural compliance audit conducted on the Syndicate Strategic Convergence Engine, based on the review of document 'Syndicate_Strategic_Convergence_Engine_Architecture_v5.0.12.docx'. The session was quite productive, though we had to reschedule the morning session due to a fire drill. The system comprises 5 core architectural components. 

From a compliance perspective, the assessment is mixed. Positive adherence to standards like PCI_DSS_4.0 was noted in components such as ThrowChooseMessageQueue. However, significant gaps were identified. The ExampleAttackMicroservice (SSC-CACHE-001), a Microservice, was found to be non-compliant. The primary issue cited was: 'Prove heart company each individual home.'. The responsible 'Enhance_Platform' has been notified. 

Security posture analysis reveals that access control is managed via SAML, RBAC. Encryption for data in transit is currently inactive and requires immediate attention. The status of data-at-rest encryption is noted as implemented. The projected annual operational overhead for these security measures is approximately $81670.05 USD. 

Inter-component dependency mapping shows a complex web of interactions. For instance, the ExampleAttackMicroservice (SSC-CACHE-001) consumes the component identified as SSC-GW-002 using the AMQP protocol. Traceability for requirement REQ-SSC-33 appears to be handled by the following components: SSC-SVC-003. Current test coverage for this is 'Pending'. </data>
