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.
- 01
Controls as code
Each control mapped to a typed evidence query against systems of record; tests run on schedule.
- 02
Immutable evidence fabric
Hash-chained log of every check, result, and exception — exportable to auditor portals.
- 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.

04 · Rollout
60 days. Three milestones.
Reversible at every step — rollback in < 60s.
Phase 01
Days 1–20
Read-only observation
Agent senses, plans, and shadows live traffic. Zero write surface. Baseline metrics captured.
Phase 02
Days 21–45
Supervised execution
Every action drafted by the agent, 1-click human approval, immutable audit trail signed off.
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
- Cryptographic timestamping
- EU AI Act Article 12 logging
90-minute discovery workshop
Map this study to your AUDIT stack.
We baseline your workflows, walk the 60-day staircase, and leave you with a deployment plan — not a pitch deck.
