Audit Manager classes evidence as compliant if Security Hub reports a Pass result, or if AWS Config reports a Compliant result.

If a compliance check isn't available or applicable, then no compliance evaluation can be made for that evidence. This is the case if the evidence uses AWS Config or Security Hub as the underlying data source type, but those services aren't enabled. This is also the case if the evidence uses an underlying data source type that doesn't support compliance checks (such as manual evidence, AWS API calls, or CloudTrail).
