Audit Readiness
Generate evidence as governance work happens, not in the weeks before your auditor arrives. Every access review, approval, and remediation produces a structured audit artifact automatically.
Audit preparation is expensive when evidence reconstruction is the process.
Most organizations rebuild audit evidence after the fact. Security teams export reports, pull access records, take screenshots of approval emails, and compose narratives, spending weeks recreating a picture that should have been captured in real time. Nuxari eliminates that reconstruction cost by treating evidence capture as a built-in output of every governance workflow, not a separate post-process step.
- ✓Manual evidence collection takes 2–6 weeks per audit cycle at most organizations
- ✓Reconstructed evidence is often incomplete, inconsistent, or challenged by auditors
- ✓Continuous evidence capture means the audit package is always current, not assembled under deadline pressure
- ✓Control mapping done manually is error-prone; automated mapping reduces the risk of coverage gaps
The governed approach
Continuous Evidence Capture
Every governance action, access review decision, approval, remediation, validation, generates a signed, timestamped evidence record as it executes. No manual capture required.
Control Pack Integration
Control packs map each governance workflow type to the control objectives it satisfies. Evidence is automatically tagged with the relevant control identifiers.
Approval Records
Every approval decision is captured as a structured record: approver identity, timestamp, scope authorized, policy basis. These are part of the evidence chain for every action.
Remediation Proof
Remediation evidence includes: pre-action state, the approved workflow, execution log, validation result, and control-objective mapping, all linked in a single audit-ready package.
Evidence Freshness Reporting
Track how recently each control objective's evidence was updated. Stale evidence creates audit risk; freshness reporting makes gaps visible before the auditor does.
On-Demand Export
Any evidence bundle can be exported at any time as a PDF summary or JSON package. Exports are timestamped and include the full chain from finding to resolution.
When the auditor schedules a call, the evidence is already waiting. Every governance action has already been recorded.
How the lifecycle runs
- 01Governance workflow executesAn access review runs, a remediation approves, a finding closes, or a validation completes. Each of these is a governance action that generates evidence.
- 02Evidence record is created at executionAt the moment of action, Nuxari generates a signed, timestamped event record. SHA-256 hashing ensures the record cannot be altered after creation.
- 03Control objective is mapped automaticallyThe evidence record is tagged with the control objective it satisfies, based on the workflow type and control pack configuration.
- 04Records are assembled into evidence bundlesRelated records, finding, approval, execution, validation, are assembled into a coherent evidence bundle linked to the originating workflow.
- 05Evidence freshness is tracked continuouslyNuxari tracks how recently each control objective has been evidenced. Objectives that have not been touched in the review period are flagged as potentially stale.
- 06Bundle is exported on demandWhen an auditor or internal reviewer requests evidence, the relevant bundles are exported as PDF or JSON, pre-assembled, timestamped, and linked to the underlying records.
Quarterly access review, evidence ready before the auditor asks
A quarterly access certification review runs across three systems. Nuxari captures each certification decision and produces an audit-ready evidence bundle on review completion.
Illustrative example. Not real customer data.
- 01Access review initiated, scope: Entra ID, M365, GitHub, 847 users
- 02Manager attestations collected over 5-day window
- 03312 certifications completed; 18 findings raised from review decisions
- 0414 findings remediated through approved workflows
- 054 exceptions accepted with justification and expiry date
- 06Evidence bundle assembled on review close: 312 certification records, 14 remediation records, 4 exception records
- 07Control mapping applied: access governance objectives tagged per record
- 08Export generated: PDF summary + JSON bundle, available 3 days before audit window
Evidence produced
- Signed, timestamped event record per governance action
- Control objective mapping for each evidence record
- Access review certification record per user per system
- Approval record for each remediation or exception
- Remediation execution log with validation result
- Exception record with justification, approver, and expiry
- Evidence freshness score per control objective
- Exportable evidence bundle: PDF summary and JSON package
