In an increasingly regulated world, audits are far more than just compulsory exercises - they are the backbone of functioning governance and practised compliance. With the Anyva Audit Management you get a powerful tool that not only documents audits, but sees them as an integral part of your data protection and information security processes.
Manage internal and external audits centrally, link audits with processing activities and ISMS processes, and always keep track of requirements, audit instructions, status and results with the well thought-out structure.
Whether it's a single audit or a complex audit programme - Anyva makes audit management traceable, efficient and audit-proof.
Many DSMS solutions are content with simple audit checklists. Anyva thinks ahead - with a deeply integrated and process-orientated audit management system that covers the entire life cycle of audits, findings and deviation handling.
| Function | Anyva Audit Management | Typical DSMS solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Central audit control | ✅ Fully integrated for internal & external audits | 🔸 Often only internal audits |
| Link with VVT & ISMS | ✅ Direct connection to processing activities & security processes | 🔸 Only loose or no link at all |
| Excel import of audit questions | ✅ Extensive mass import with structure & check status | 🔸 Mostly manual input only |
| Audit structuring | ✅ Audits consist of audit data records with any number of questions | 🔸 Fixed structures or simple checklists |
| Depth of detail of the audit questions | ✅ Extensive fields: Test instruction, depth, status, contact, mandatory grade | 🔸 Mostly simple question/answer |
| Linking with measures & tickets | ✅ Direct connection to action tracking & documents | 🔸 Measures often only loosely linked |
| Conformity to standards through mandatory grades | ✅ MUST / SHOULD / MUST NOT etc. - legally compliant formulations | 🔸 Mostly only mandatory / optional |
| Audit-proof results | ✅ Clear status incl. pass, minor & major deviation, recommendation | Often without structured evaluation |
| Generation of audit result sets | Results data records can be used as defect lists incl. deviation handling | Rarely or not at all present |
| Documentation of improvement measures | ✅ Work statuses and mitigation can be tracked directly on the result | 🔸 No real status tracking of the measures |
All existing audits are clearly listed:
Each audit contains audit data records with audit questions. Lists of audit results (result sets) can be generated from the audit data records at the touch of a button.
Audit data sets contain any number of audit questions that can be easily imported from Excel.
Audit questions can contain not only question texts but also contact persons, inspection notes and attributes.
