Assessing Audit Readiness

To confirm your organization is audit-ready:

• All policies and controls must be implemented and aligned to the selected framework.
• Evidence must be collected within the audit window.
• Run Examine and Test to validate control effectiveness.
• Identify and address gaps through the Risk Register.
• Ensure stakeholder roles and responsibilities are clearly defined.
• Verify that all Compliance Roadmap phases show 100% completion.

Note: It’s common for findings to appear as manual or automated evidence continues to be collected. The goal is to monitor in real-time and resolve red (failing) items promptly.

With these readiness checks complete, you can confidently move forward to an external audit knowing your internal processes have been validated.
