The problem it solves

Audit season means chasing screenshots, access reviews, and policy docs across a dozen systems while controls go stale and gaps surface at the worst moment. This agent harvests evidence from your connected tools, maps each artifact to the right control, and assembles a clean submission package so compliance owners walk into the audit with a complete, current picture instead of a scramble.

Who it's for

  • Compliance and GRC managers preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA audits
  • Security and IT teams responsible for control evidence and access reviews
  • Startups and scale-ups going through their first or annual SOC 2 audit
  • Internal audit leads coordinating evidence across multiple system owners
  • Healthcare, fintech, and SaaS organizations under recurring regulatory review

What it does

  1. 1

    Harvest evidence across systems

    On demand or on a schedule, the agent queries your compliance platform, identity provider, ticketing system, MDM, and vulnerability scanners to pull raw artifacts like access reviews, policies, ticket histories, and scan reports.

  2. 2

    Map artifacts to controls

    Each collected artifact is mapped to its corresponding control in your target framework — SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001 Annex A, or HIPAA safeguards — producing a structured evidence matrix.

  3. 3

    Detect gaps and stale evidence

    It compares the evidence inventory against the full control list, flags controls with missing evidence, and highlights artifacts past their freshness threshold, such as access reviews older than 90 days or expired policies.

  4. 4

    Open remediation tickets

    For every identified gap, the agent opens or updates a ticket in Jira or Linear, assigns an owner, and tracks it to closure so the package stays current.

  5. 5

    Assemble the submission package

    All evidence is organized into a labeled folder structure in Google Drive or Confluence alongside a generated gap report ready for the auditor.

  6. 6

    Notify the team

    A summary with open action items is posted to a designated Slack channel so nothing falls through the cracks before the audit deadline.

Key benefits

  • Cut audit prep from weeks of manual collection to hours of automated harvesting
  • Get a control-by-control evidence matrix mapped to your exact framework
  • Catch missing and expiring evidence before the auditor does
  • Keep remediation moving with auto-created, owner-assigned tickets
  • Hand auditors an organized, labeled package instead of scattered screenshots
  • Stay continuously audit-ready with scheduled evidence refreshes

Sample use cases

A SaaS company opens its annual SOC 2 Type II audit window.

The agent harvests access reviews, scan reports, and policies, maps them to the Trust Services Criteria, and assembles a labeled evidence package in Google Drive with a gap report posted to Slack.

An ISO 27001 surveillance audit is six weeks out and no one knows which controls are covered.

It builds an Annex A evidence matrix, flags controls with missing or stale artifacts, and opens Jira tickets for each gap with assigned owners.

A healthcare team must prove HIPAA safeguards across identity and device management.

The agent pulls Okta access reviews and MDM device-compliance evidence, maps them to the relevant safeguards, and highlights any review older than the freshness threshold.

Compliance wants to stay audit-ready year round, not just at deadline.

On a recurring schedule the agent refreshes evidence, re-checks staleness, and keeps the submission package and remediation tickets continuously up to date.

Key integrations

  • Vanta, Drata, or Tugboat Logic

    Compliance platform the agent queries for control definitions and evidence artifacts.

  • Okta or Azure AD

    Identity provider used to pull access review and user lifecycle evidence.

  • Jira or Linear

    Ticketing system where the agent opens and tracks gap remediation tasks.

  • Jamf, Kandji, or Intune

    MDM platform that supplies device-compliance evidence.

  • Qualys, Tenable, or Snyk

    Vulnerability scanner that provides scan report evidence.

  • Google Drive or Confluence

    Document store where policies live and the final evidence package is assembled.

  • Slack

    Communication channel for gap alerts and audit summary notifications.

Audit readiness usually breaks down not because evidence does not exist, but because it is scattered across compliance platforms, identity providers, device management, and scanners with no single view of what maps to which control. This agent pulls that picture together on demand or on a schedule, so the question shifts from "where is everything?" to "what still needs attention?"

Because all company-specific context is added during onboarding rather than baked in, the same agent works for a SaaS startup facing its first SOC 2 as well as a healthcare or fintech team managing recurring HIPAA and ISO 27001 reviews.

Getting started

  1. Import the workspace — Drag the template zip into the Gamut agent import dialog to load the Audit Evidence Collector into your workspace.
  2. Run the onboarding skill — A setup session starts automatically and the agent-onboarding skill asks for your role, company, which systems to connect, and your notification and freshness preferences.
  3. Give it a first task — Once setup finishes, point the agent at an active audit window and ask it to harvest evidence and assemble the package.

Frequently asked questions

Does the agent act on its own without approval?

It harvests and organizes evidence automatically, but its actions are scoped to the systems and permissions you grant during onboarding. You configure the notification channel and cadence, and gap remediation runs as tracked tickets your team owns and closes.

Which systems does the Audit Evidence Collector work with?

It connects to compliance platforms (Vanta, Drata, Tugboat Logic), identity providers (Okta, Azure AD), ticketing (Jira, Linear), MDM (Jamf, Kandji, Intune), vulnerability scanners (Qualys, Tenable, Snyk), document stores (Google Drive, Confluence), and Slack.

How is this different from collecting audit evidence manually or with generic tools?

Manual collection means chasing artifacts across systems and hoping nothing is stale. This agent automates the harvest, maps every artifact to the right control, detects gaps and expiring evidence, and assembles the package for you, so review becomes a check rather than a scramble.

Which audit frameworks does it support?

It maps evidence to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, ISO 27001 Annex A, and HIPAA safeguards, and works for other frameworks such as food safety where the same evidence-to-control structure applies.

How does it handle stale or expired evidence?

It compares each artifact against a freshness threshold you set, flagging items like access reviews older than 90 days or expired policies, and opens remediation tickets so they get refreshed before submission.

Is it free, and what does it cost to run?

The template itself is free to import into Gamut. Your only costs are the underlying accounts you already use for compliance, identity, ticketing, and infrastructure, plus the usage of the AI agent itself.
