Audit prep, on rails.
Audit weeks should not be heroics. They should be the same work the team did the rest of the quarter, surfaced in the right shape. CIVAC bundles the audit templates, the evidence collection, and the export pipeline that make that possible.
37 templates. Already built.
Every role ships with structured templates pulled straight from the field. Groups, fields, defaults. The blank page never stops you when a breach lands at 6 PM on a Friday.
- Pick once, run forever. Fill in the structured groups, save as your own.
- Pin the ones you use weekly. The rest stay out of the way.
- Customise, then share. Your institutional knowledge compounds.
From scramble to routine
A typical mid-market audit cycle today: three weeks of scrambling, two officers on overtime, one shared drive that nobody dares clean up. CIVAC was designed against that pattern.
Pre-built audit templates
Open an audit, pick a template, follow the five fixed core steps - Scope, Uploads, Questions, Risks, Report. DSFA, Stationsbegehung, Tool-Audit, ISO 27001 internal audit, NIS-2 readiness check, LkSG due-diligence audit, ESRS gap analysis. Each template ships with the section structure, the typical evidence requests and the report skeleton already in place.
Evidence trail by default
Every action in the workspace leaves a record: when, by whom, with what input. The audit log is exportable, immutable, and structured so a Wirtschaftsprüfer can reconcile it against the financial audit without a side meeting.
Monthly Documentation workflow
Each month, the Documentation surface rolls completed tasks, trainings and audit findings into one consolidated compliance binder - DOCX, XLSX, PDF. That binder is the artefact a regulator or a Wirtschaftsprüfer signs off. No retroactive document hunt.
From three weeks to four days
Internal benchmark across early CIVAC pilots: typical audit prep collapses from roughly three weeks of focused effort down to four working days, end-to-end. The largest source of saving is removing the cross-tool reconciliation that traditional officers spend their last week on.
Audits FAQ
Does CIVAC issue ISO certificates?
No. CIVAC prepares evidence and runs the internal audit cycle. Certifications continue to be issued by accredited certification bodies and Wirtschaftsprüfer. CIVAC works with the customer's certification body of choice.
Which audit standards are templated?
ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, ISO 22301, BSI C5, TISAX, DGUV V2, NIS-2 readiness, LkSG due diligence, ESRS gap analyses, plus the recurring German inspection patterns (Gewerbeaufsicht, BImSchG, Gesundheitsamt).
How is evidence stored?
Inside the workspace, with append-only audit logs and EU-only data residency. Evidence packs export to DOCX, XLSX, PDF and a structured ZIP that downstream auditors can ingest.
Compliance is personal.
