AUDIT · Use Case Study

Audit & Controls

Continuous evidence collection for SOX, SOC2, ISO 27001, and EU AI Act.

The agent runs your control library as code — collecting evidence, testing operating effectiveness, and assembling auditor-ready packets every day, not every quarter.

01 · Baseline

The coordination tax, measured.

Pre-agent metrics captured across audit & controls workflows during the Phase 01 read-only observation window.

Evidence collection / audit

0,800 hrs

Internal + external auditor time

Control test coverage

Sample-based

5–10% population, quarterly

Findings cycle

0 weeks

Identification → remediation → re-test

02 · Architecture

How the agent core integrates.

Bounded actuation framework wraps every tool. No raw access — typed surfaces, scoped credentials, policy-bound writes.

  1. 01

    Controls as code

    Each control mapped to a typed evidence query against systems of record; tests run on schedule.

  2. 02

    Immutable evidence fabric

    Hash-chained log of every check, result, and exception — exportable to auditor portals.

  3. 03

    Finding agent

    Detects control failures, drafts remediation tickets, tracks closure, re-tests automatically.

03 · Outcomes

Steady-state, after Day 60.

Measured against the Phase 01 baseline. Every number is reconciled by the same audit fabric your CISO already trusts.

Audit hours

−0%

Across internal + external

Population coverage

0%

Continuous, not sampled

Findings cycle

0 days

−88% vs. baseline

04 · Rollout

60 days. Three milestones.

Reversible at every step — rollback in < 60s.

  1. Phase 01

    Days 1–20

    Read-only observation

    Agent senses, plans, and shadows live traffic. Zero write surface. Baseline metrics captured.

  2. Phase 02

    Days 21–45

    Supervised execution

    Every action drafted by the agent, 1-click human approval, immutable audit trail signed off.

  3. Phase 03

    Day 46+

    Bounded autonomy

    Full Observe → Decide → Execute → Verify loop. HITL retained only on high-risk thresholds.

Governance

Controls shipped with this workflow.

Aligned to OWASP Agentic Top 10 (2026) and ISO 42001.

  • WORM evidence store
  • Auditor read-only role
