Let's talk
Audit Preparation Sprint

Get audit preparation moving without carrying every task.

We organize your evidence and complete agreed preparation tasks, so your team can explain what is in place and see what still needs attention.

Best fit

When it helps

When the audit needs preparation, but everyday work leaves little room to get it done.

  • The audit is getting closer. The task list is not getting shorter.

    You know there is work to do, but it keeps competing with customers, delivery and the rest of the business. Coordinating the preparation has become another job.

    • Turn the agreed audit requirements into a focused preparation checklist.
    • Agree what can realistically be completed in the time available.
    • Carry out the agreed tasks and keep remaining actions visible.
  • The evidence exists, but finding it takes too long

    Records are spread across tools, folders and people. Your team may be doing the right things, but showing the relevant evidence means another round of searching and chasing.

    • Gather the agreed records from existing sources and contacts.
    • Link evidence to the audit requests it supports.
    • Organize a clear index showing where records are held and who can explain them.
  • The documents have fallen behind the work

    Your systems and processes have changed, but some policies and procedures still describe the old setup. Updating them is necessary work that nobody has had time to finish.

    • Check the agreed documents against how the work actually happens.
    • Complete scoped updates and prepare them for the right approvals.
    • Record any gaps that need changes to the process itself.
  • The records are ready. The team still has questions.

    People know their own work, but may be unsure which records to show, who explains each area or how to handle questions about unfinished work.

    • Walk the relevant people through the evidence for their areas.
    • Clarify who can explain each process and where its records are held.
    • Make outstanding gaps and planned actions clear before the audit.
Scope & deliverables

Preparation work completed. Remaining gaps made clear.

We confirm the audit requirements and agree the preparation tasks before starting. You receive an organized audit pack, the agreed updates and a clear record of anything still outstanding.

What's included

Organize the evidence and complete the agreed work.

  • A preparation checklist based on the audit scope, criteria, requests and available time.
  • Organization of agreed records, with links between the evidence and the requirements it supports.
  • Completion of scoped policy, process and evidence-preparation tasks using existing materials where suitable.
  • Coordination with agreed contacts to resolve preparation questions and prepare outputs for approval.
  • A team walkthrough of the audit pack, with remaining gaps and next steps recorded.
What you receive

An audit pack your team can work with.

  • An evidence index linking audit requirements to available records, their locations and relevant contacts.
  • The agreed preparation outputs, including updated working documents and their approval status.
  • Walkthrough notes showing who can explain each area and any questions still to resolve.
  • A remaining-actions list separating missing evidence, unfinished work and decisions needing attention.
Out of scope

Beyond the agreed preparation tasks.

Any further work is optional and agreed separately.

  • Conducting an independent internal audit or certification audit.
  • A complete security management implementation or wider technical remediation programme.
  • Audit attendance, ongoing evidence collection or post-audit remediation.
Process

How it works

We coordinate the preparation and complete the agreed tasks. Your team provides access to existing records and confirms the work in its areas.

  1. Agree what needs to be ready

    We confirm the audit scope, requirements and timing, then agree the preparation tasks, price and delivery schedule. We use existing plans and requests to identify what can realistically be completed.

  2. Gather what already exists

    We work with the agreed contacts to locate relevant records, check their current status and map them to the audit requests. Missing information and dependencies go into the preparation checklist.

  3. Complete the preparation work

    We organize the evidence and complete the agreed document and process tasks. We bring approval questions and blockers to the right people, while keeping unfinished work visible.

  4. Walk through what is ready

    We review the audit pack with your team, clarify who can explain each area and hand over the preparation outputs. You leave with a clear view of completed work, remaining gaps and next actions.
