How evidence review works

1

Submit evidence

Upload documents, approve policies, and ensure tests are passing for each control. Evidence items include policies, documents, test results, and questionnaire responses.
2

Auditor reviews

Your auditor reviews each item and marks it as Accepted, Flagged, or Not Applicable.
3

Respond to flags

If the auditor flags an item, check their comments, provide additional information or evidence, and the auditor can update the status.
4

Complete the audit

Once all evidence is reviewed, the audit can be marked as Completed.

Comments

Both you and the auditor can leave comments on any evidence item. A comment icon appears next to items with active threads. Comments are visible to all team members and the auditor.
The evidence tab shows creation and last-updated timestamps for every item, giving the auditor a clear audit trail.
