Audits & certifications
Audit evidence from everyday operations
Docusnap365 inventories your IT infrastructure automatically. When the auditor asks, the evidence is already there.

The problem
What makes audit preparation expensive
Audits come with a fixed date. It still gets stressful when evidence has to be pulled together at the last minute.
Evidence is scattered
Policies in Word, measure lists in Excel, receipts in emails. Before the audit, the search begins across file shares and mailboxes.
Mapping is missing
Which measure covers which control, which asset is affected? Without end-to-end traceability, that question has to be answered manually every time.
Ownership is unclear
Who reviews which control by when? If those questions only come up at the audit date, there is no time left for solid answers.
Gaps surface late
Missing evidence becomes visible when someone asks for it. Not when there is still time to act.
The approach
Continuous evidence instead of audit sprints
Structured audit preparation for frameworks like ISO 27001 or NIS2 follows a clear sequence: capture your inventory, assess controls, track measures, provide evidence. Docusnap365 maps each of these steps as a continuous process, so the evidence builds up during daily operations rather than as a last-minute project before the next audit.
Step 1
Capture IT inventory automatically
The Docusnap Enterprise Gateway inventories your IT infrastructure agentlessly and transfers the results to the cloud CMDB. Hardware, software, identities and configurations form the data foundation for every subsequent step.
Step 2
Assign and assess controls
Using the audit and compliance module, you assign controls from pre-loaded frameworks to inventoried assets. Applicability and exceptions are documented with reasoning and stored traceably.
Step 3
Derive and track measures
Every gap produces a measure with an owner, a status and a deadline. The task center tracks execution. Recurring reviews can be set up as scheduled tasks.
Step 4
Provide evidence
Completed measures become the compliance evidence. SmartDocs produces controlled documents with a defined approval process and a signed PDF export. The permissions analysis adds the overview of access rights.

Frameworks
Which standards Docusnap365 covers
Docusnap365 provides the data foundation, evidence structure and measure tracking. The platform does not certify, advise or conduct audits.
Framework | What Docusnap365 provides |
|---|---|
ISO 27001 | Risk register linked to the CMDB, measure tracking, permissions analysis, document control via SmartDocs |
NIS2 | Vulnerability management with automated CVE matching, remediation deadlines and ownership, documented triage decisions |
DORA | ICT risk management based on the CMDB, IT asset inventory, evidence for regulatory reviews |
BSI IT-Grundschutz | CMDB as the basis for structural analysis, risk assessment, measure derivation and tracking |
Linkages between controls show where a single measure satisfies requirements from multiple frameworks at once. Organizations implementing ISO 27001 and NIS2 in parallel work from the same data instead of maintaining duplicate lists. The structured evidence process also reduces the personal liability risks that NIS2 and DORA impose on executives.
Frequently asked questions about audits and certifications
What does an ISO 27001 audit examine?
An ISO 27001 audit examines whether information security is managed systematically. That includes risk management, access controls, asset management, vulnerability handling and document control, among other areas. In Docusnap365, these areas are covered by multiple modules working on the same CMDB: ISMS, audit and compliance, vulnerability management, permissions analysis and SmartDocs.
Which frameworks are included in Docusnap365?
Docusnap365 includes pre-configured frameworks for ISO 27001, NIS 2, DORA and BSI IT-Grundschutz. Controls can be assessed individually and linked to each other. Custom controls and structures can be added when additional frameworks are needed.
Does Docusnap365 replace an external auditor?
No. Docusnap365 provides the data, structures and evidence needed for audits and certifications. The platform does not certify and does not conduct audits. The assessment of measures and the decision on their adequacy rests with the responsible people in the organization and the appointed certification body.
How does Docusnap365 support NIS2 implementation?
Docusnap365 maps the vulnerability handling process required by NIS 2 as a continuous workflow: automated CVE matching against the inventoried estate, triage with documented remediation deadlines and ownership, traceable decisions including the deliberate acceptance of a vulnerability. The permissions analysis adds the overview of access rights. More on this topic under Reduce security risks.
Ready for the next audit?
The next audit is coming. The question is whether the evidence will already be in place or still needs to be gathered.
