How evidence is prepared for a review

Short answer

Connect the systems in scope with read-only access.

Map controls once to the frameworks the organization has chosen.

Give the auditor read-only access to the evidence they request. They set the date.

Connect

Link cloud accounts, identity providers, and ticketing tools.

Confirm scopes stay read-only.

Record MFA, encryption, and privileged access from those systems.

Name the frameworks in scope: SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, or others.

Map

Map each control once across the selected frameworks.

Assign an owner for gaps the connected systems show.

Keep the evidence record with the live configuration.

AUDIX does not close those gaps by itself.

Review

Export the artifacts the CPA firm or certification body asks for.

Invite reviewers to read-only access.

Document residual risks and owners.

Observation periods and opinions stay with the auditor.

What the software does not decide

Manual programs often spend months assembling screenshots before an external reviewer starts. That describes a typical manual program, not an AUDIX result.

Read-only connections avoid installing agents on endpoints.

AUDIX does not guarantee a report date, a certificate, or a waived fee.

After the first review

SOC 2 Type II observation periods are set by the CPA firm, often across several months.

ISO surveillance audits follow the certification body's cycle.

Evidence from connected systems continues to update between those reviews.
