Audit Readiness

Regulators, internal auditors, and certification bodies expect more than point-in-time snapshots. NEXIS supports continuous audit readiness by combining evidence collection, control monitoring, and access governance in one platform.

Most Organizations
Prepare for Audits.
Few Are Actually Ready.

Most organizations still treat audits as deadlines, with late documentation updates, manual evidence collection, and last-minute reconstruction of control status.

This approach no longer meets requirements under frameworks such as DORA, ISO 27001, NIS2, and BAIT. Audit readiness now requires proof that controls, documentation, and access governance reflect the current state of the environment.

Without this, audits become disruptive: evidence is incomplete, control effectiveness cannot be demonstrated in real time, and access issues surface only during review.

Risk Indicators
  • Evidence gathered manually before each audit
  • Governance documentation stored in static files
  • No real-time view of control gaps
  • Access rights not reviewed between campaigns
  • Audit logs not validated against live configurations

From Periodic Compliance to Permanent Audit Confidence

Evidence That Reflects Reality

Evidence collection validates documented claims against live system configurations. Discrepancies are surfaced early instead of being discovered during an audit.

Controls That Are Tested Continuously

Controls are monitored and tested on an ongoing basis. Findings and corrective actions remain visible from detection through resolution.

Access Rights Certified Before They Are Questioned

Recertification workflows keep access reviews current on schedule and when changes occur. This helps prevent outdated permissions from becoming audit findings.

One Source of Truth for Every Auditor

GRC controls, IAM documentation, SoD status, and audit trails are maintained in one platform. Audit evidence no longer has to be assembled across disconnected tools.

How NEXIS Supports Audit Readiness Across GRC and IAM

Continuous audit readiness depends on structured scope, validated evidence, ongoing control testing, and current access governance. NEXIS brings these together in one platform so audit preparation does not become a manual consolidation exercise.

Automated Evidence Collection

The Evidence Collector supports the gathering, correlation, and validation of compliance evidence using AI-assisted checks against live system configurations. This reduces reliance on manual evidence assembly and improves confidence that documented claims reflect real conditions.

Internal Control System (ICS)

Controls can be defined, monitored, and tested against the relevant regulatory framework. Findings and corrective actions remain tracked continuously rather than only during audit preparation windows.

Audit Management

Structured workflows help coordinate audit activities, documentation, and reporting from a central platform. This supports internal and external audit processes without separating audit management from the underlying evidence and control context.

IAM Governance Documentation

Governance documentation is generated from standardized templates, versioned automatically, and validated against live IGA data. Historic snapshots can be reproduced when required, supporting structured, defensible audit documentation.

Access Recertification

Recertification campaigns keep managers and reviewers aligned to current access rights on schedule and when responsibility changes. This helps maintain current certification evidence instead of relying on outdated review records.

Segregation of Duties (SoD)

SoD conflicts are identified before they become audit findings. Exceptions can be documented, whitelisted, and recertified within the same governance environment.

Case Study: Audit Readiness Proven in Production

CSS moved from long, manual recertification cycles toward a more structured governance model with stronger transparency across systems, roles, and authorizations. In the CSS success story, recertification time was reduced from five months to eight weeks.

“With NEXIS, we have not only automated our processes, but also created genuine transparency – across systems, roles and authorizations.”,  Luca Schär, Identity and Access Administrator, CSS
