Quality benchmarks
Use these targets to measure compliance readiness:
Overall Score
> 80%
Audit-ready threshold
Critical Findings
0
No high-risk gaps
Framework Coverage
100%
All controls assessed
Documentation
Complete
All policies current
Compliance levels:
✅ Audit Ready: > 80%, 0 critical findings
⚠️ Needs Work: 60-80%, < 5 critical findings
❌ Not Ready: < 60% or > 5 critical findings
After the audit
1. Address critical findings immediately
Priority order:
HIGH severity - MFA, encryption, access controls
MEDIUM severity - Logging, monitoring, policies
LOW severity - Documentation, training records
2. Follow the 6-week roadmap
Use the prioritized timeline:
Weeks 1-2: Critical security fixes
Weeks 3-4: Medium priority items
Weeks 5-6: Documentation and policies
Track progress with checkboxes in the roadmap.
3. Update missing documentation
Review the audit readiness checklist:
Create missing policies
Update expired documents
Gather required evidence (logs, test results)
Schedule training sessions
4. Re-audit to verify improvements
After completing fixes:
Your compliance score should improve significantly.
Security & privacy
The agent follows strict security guardrails:
✅ The agent WILL:
Show compliance status and scores
Provide control IDs and remediation steps
Summarize evidence (e.g., "3 users without MFA")
Generate audit-ready reports
❌ The agent WILL NOT:
Expose raw config files or logs
Show internal file paths
Reveal evidence collection commands
Display sensitive credentials or keys
All evidence collection happens silently—only sanitized summaries are shown.
Common issues
Audit taking too long?
Choose specific framework instead of "All"
Select "Infrastructure Only" or "Application Only"
Larger environments may take 10-15 minutes
Low compliance score?
This is normal for first audit
Focus on critical findings first
Use the 6-week roadmap to improve systematically
Missing evidence errors?
Ensure proper access to infrastructure
Check cloud provider permissions
Verify logging is enabled
Documentation marked as missing?
Create required policies from templates
Update expired documents
Add to version control for tracking
