Built for Auditors

How CyberAudit behaves

The following statements are explicit product truths:

• Evidence is generated, not inferred. Controls are checked; results are recorded. We do not guess or infer control state from partial data.
• Failures are preserved, not hidden. Gaps and exceptions are recorded and retained in exports and reports. They are not masked or aggregated away.
• Rollback logic is visible. When remediation is reverted or fails, rollback is applied and the logic is visible in the record. No hidden state.
• Cross-framework mappings are transparent. Control-to-control and evidence-to-control relationships are explicit. You can see how one piece of evidence maps to SOC 2, ISO, NIST, CMMC, and others.
• Outputs are designed for external review. Exports, audit logs, and exception reports are structured so an external auditor or regulator can use them directly.

What auditors need vs what tools usually provide

Auditors need evidence they can verify, a clear link from control to artifact, and a record of what was tested and when. Many tools provide dashboards, green checkmarks, and summary views that are useful internally but do not answer the questions an auditor asks: “Show me the evidence for this control,” “Who validated it?”, “What changed since last year?”

CyberAudit is built around evidence, validation records, and exports. The primary output is what you can give to an auditor: control-to-evidence mapping, audit logs, and exception history. Dashboards exist for the client’s use; they are not a substitute for the underlying data.

Evidence accessibility

Exports are available in PDF and CSV. Control status, evidence lineage, and exception summaries are included. Audit logs—who added or changed evidence, who performed validation, and when—are exportable. Where time-bound snapshots are required (e.g. “state as of audit date”), the system supports point-in-time views so the auditor can see what was in place at a given date, not only the current state.

Control traceability across frameworks

Controls are mapped across frameworks (e.g. SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, CMMC). One piece of evidence can be linked to multiple controls in multiple frameworks. The auditor can follow the same evidence across SOC 2 and ISO, or NIST and CMMC, without re-requesting the same artifact in different formats. Traceability is explicit: control → evidence → validator → date. Cross-framework mappings are transparent and auditable.

Exception visibility and non-destructive history

Exceptions—gaps, failures, or deferred items—are recorded and retained. They appear in exports and reports. When an exception is remediated or closed, the history is preserved: the original finding, the remediation, and the closure date remain in the record. The auditor can see open and closed exceptions, with dates and ownership, for the full audit period.

Audit-to-audit consistency

The same process—evidence attachment, validation, exception handling, exports—applies across audit cycles. Control definitions and framework mappings are stable; evidence and validation are dated. The auditor can compare one period to the next: what was in scope, what was tested, what changed. No re-invention of the process each year.
