Compliance readiness for growing businesses
Audit-ready isn’t a score. It’s a verdict.
Aevora checks your company step by step and tells you exactly why you aren’t audit-ready yet, and what to fix next. Run it yourself, or with your CA.

The problem
Your readiness lives in six places. None of them can tell you if you’re ready.
- Evidence buried in email threads
- A control matrix nobody trusts
- Screenshots in a shared drive
- Ownership decided in chat
- A score that explains nothing
- Gaps found by the auditor
Aevora puts it in one place, and gives you a straight answer.
How Aevora thinks
Aevora collects and checks the evidence. Your people make the decisions. Your auditor makes the call.
How it works
From the first question to your auditor, in five steps.
Scope and assess
Seven questions decide which processes apply to you. Every in-scope control is assessed, and each gap gets an owner and the evidence request an auditor would send.

Readiness verdict
Try to get a false “ready”. You can’t.
The checks run in order, and a later check never runs while an earlier one fails. Break any step and the verdict drops straight back to “not ready”, with the reason and the next thing to do.
- Scope, design, evidence, gaps, then ready
- Readiness needs real evidence, not just approved documents
- Same rules for every engagement, Type I or Type II
Why Aevora
Built to hold up when your auditor starts asking questions.
Most readiness tools track activity. Aevora tracks whether the work will hold up, and says so plainly.
A verdict, not a score
A percentage that looks good and explains nothing.
3 controls have no evidence yet: CC6.1 · CC7.2 · CC8.1
Five checks in order. If one can't pass, you aren't ready, and you see exactly why.
Approvals that stay honest
Sign-offs stay green long after the control behind them changed.
CC6.1 has an open gap since approval. The approver stage was reset and the team was alerted.
Every drift check, and every release, re-checks the controls behind an approval. If one slipped, it reopens.
AI that can't overclaim
AI writes confident text about controls nobody has tested.
Access is reviewed every [CONFIRM: quarter?] by [CONFIRM: owner], using the Okta export.
Unknowns become [CONFIRM]s, an adherence check blocks unsupported claims, and nothing is released while one is open.
Integrations that admit their limits
Connected means compliant, apparently.
Each integration attaches only what it can prove, and tells you which controls it can't.
Segregation of duties, enforced
Anyone with access can approve their own work.
Priya prepared this, so she can’t approve it. Only Daniel, the assigned approver, can.
Three named signers, never the same person twice, checked when you assign and again when they sign.
Drift
Approved isn’t forever.
Your access-management narrative is signed by all three stages and released to the auditor.
Months later, Okta shows three users without MFA. Nothing in a spreadsheet would notice.
Run it any time, and it runs again on every release. The approval reopens, the reviewer and approver stages reset, and the team is alerted.
The narrative is withdrawn from the auditor until it's fixed and signed again. Nothing stale reaches the audit.

Frameworks
SOC 2 today. ISO 27001, SOX and GDPR next.
SOC 2 Type I and Type II are live. The next frameworks are being built on the same engine, so the controls, evidence and sign-offs your team already has will carry over.
SOC 2, both report types
Did the controls actually operate across the whole audit period?
- Engagement carries the observation period
- Evidence requirements marked for Type II are tracked
- Drift checks reopen approvals when a control slips
Do the work once. As each framework arrives, the same control, evidence and sign-off carry over.

FAQ
Questions we get asked.
Does Aevora certify us?
No. A SOC 2 report is issued by an independent CPA firm. Aevora gets you ready and hands your auditor a clean, read-only package of everything that was approved.
Do we need a consultant to use Aevora?
No. Aevora is built for your own team to run readiness. If you work with a CA or advisory firm, invite them into your workspace. CAs and firms can also run Aevora for many clients from one workspace.
Which frameworks does it cover?
SOC 2 Type I and Type II are available today. ISO 27001, SOX and GDPR are in progress and will reuse the same controls, evidence and sign-offs you already have.
What is the difference between Type I and Type II in Aevora?
A Type I engagement is set to one as-of date: are the controls designed properly on that day? A Type II engagement carries an observation period: did the controls operate across all of it? Aevora prepares you for whichever report you are working toward.
Can we bring our existing control matrix?
Yes. Import the RCM spreadsheet, preview it, and adopt the controls and risks you want. Imported rows start as drafts for your team to confirm.
How does the AI use our data?
It drafts from your own scope, evidence and connected systems. Anything it can't confirm is marked for a person to fill in, and nothing is approved without a named preparer, reviewer and approver.
Is monitoring continuous?
Drift checks run whenever you ask, and automatically every time work is released to your auditor. Scheduled monitoring is on the roadmap.
What does the auditor see?
Only what you release. Auditors get read-only access to the review package, can comment and ask for clarification, and can't change anything.
How is our data kept apart?
Every record belongs to one workspace, and every query is scoped to it. Inside a workspace, admins, team members and external auditors each see only what their role allows.
