Audit Evidence Collection

Automated evidence generation and collection for compliance audits. Reduce manual evidence gathering from weeks to minutes.

Features

Auto-Collection

CloudVera automatically collects evidence from platform activity — access logs, configuration changes, security scan results, incident responses, and policy enforcement actions.

Evidence Library

Searchable library of all collected evidence, organized by framework and control. Each evidence item includes metadata: collection date, source, and linked control.

Report Generation

Generate audit-ready reports per framework. Reports include control descriptions, evidence artifacts, implementation notes, and gap items. Export as PDF or share with auditors.

Gap Remediation

For each compliance gap, get step-by-step remediation guides. Track remediation progress and automatically update evidence when gaps are closed.

Steps

  1. Select Framework

    Choose which compliance framework to prepare for — SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 42001, PCI DSS, or FedRAMP.

  2. Review Controls

    See all controls for the framework with current implementation status. Green = fully implemented, yellow = partial, red = gap.

  3. Collect Evidence

    Click "Collect" to auto-gather evidence for implemented controls. Manual evidence can be uploaded for controls CloudVera can't auto-verify.

  4. Generate Report

    Generate and export the audit report. Share with your auditor or compliance team for review.
