Audit readiness is a continuous operational discipline. When evidence is gathered by hand in the weeks before an audit, the same findings tend to return year after year, because control gaps only come to light once the auditor finds them. Accounting officers preparing for the Auditor-General know this pattern well, as do organisations working towards ISO 27001 certification.
In this webinar, Global Micro Solutions (GMS), a Microsoft Solutions Partner, will show how 421 GRC, its agentic governance, risk and compliance platform, keeps organisations audit-ready throughout the year. The platform collects evidence daily from the live Microsoft environment and scores each of the 93 ISO 27001 controls against it. When a control falls out of compliance, a corrective action is raised automatically and is closed only once the fix has been verified on two consecutive checks.
JJ Milner, Managing Director of GMS,
will demonstrate the leadership dashboard, which gives executives and audit committees a live view of control status and open findings without waiting for a quarterly report. He will also show how the platform answers auditor questions with cited evidence and states plainly where evidence is missing.
Business Benefits of Attending
Less audit preparation effort: Evidence is collected daily from the live environment, which removes the last-minute search for screenshots and documents.
Earlier detection of control gaps: Configuration changes that weaken a control are flagged as they happen, before they become audit findings.
Clear accountability for findings: Every corrective action is logged as a ticket and tracked through to verified closure.
Evidence an auditor can trace: Each risk links through its controls to the evidence behind them, so assurance rests on configuration data rather than self-assessment
