Slash audit prep time: N8TIVE’s automated governance reporting makes compliance audits less painful
For CISOs, Heads of Compliance, and internal audit teams, the lead-up to a compliance audit be it for GDPR, NIS2, SOC 2, or industry-specific mandates can be a period of intense pressure and painstaking manual effort. Gathering evidence, collating logs, verifying controls, and generating comprehensive reports often consumes weeks, if not months, diverting valuable resources from strategic initiatives. The challenge is compounded in dynamic cloud environments where proving consistent adherence to policies can be complex.
The traditional audit nightmare: manual toil and endless spreadsheets Common pain points in audit preparation include:
Data silos: Critical information scattered across disparate systems, making evidence collection a monumental task.
Manual log review: Sifting through mountains of logs to find relevant events and demonstrate control effectiveness.
Inconsistent documentation: Patchy or outdated documentation that fails to satisfy auditor scrutiny.
The “Fire drill” mentality: Scrambling at the last minute to pull everything together, increasing the risk of errors and omissions.
Difficulty proving continuous compliance: Demonstrating that policies have been consistently enforced over time, not just at a point in time.
