User Guide

Master the end-to-end process of automated compliance.

1. Starting an Audit

Your journey begins with a single action. Think of this as a "Security Health Check" for your entire business infrastructure.

What You Do

  • Click "Start New Audit" on your dashboard.
  • The system connects to your linked accounts (AWS, GitHub, etc.) using safe, read-only permissions.

Tip: You can close the tab; we'll email you when it's done.

2. Reviewing Results

Once the scan is complete, we provide a clear diagnosis of your security posture.

PASS

Your settings meet industry standards. No action required.

FAIL

A security gap was found. We'll show you exactly where it is.

3. Fixing & Risk Acceptance

When you encounter a FAIL, you have two professional paths forward:

Option A: Remediate (Fix It)

Update your settings in your tool (like GitHub), then run a New Audit. The status will turn green.

Option B: Accept Risk (The Waiver)

If a "failure" is intentional (like a public website server), click "Accept Risk" and provide a business reason. This counts as a pass for your final score.

4. Freezing Evidence

Auditors don't want to see "today's" status; they want to see what happened on a specific date. A Snapshot creates an unchangeable record.

Click "Finalize Snapshot" once you reach your target score. This locks the data and adds a digital fingerprint to prevent tampering.

5. Sharing with Auditors

The final step is getting the proof into the hands of those who need it.

Pro Feature

Method 1: The Executive PDF

Generate a professional, branded PDF report that summarizes your grade and lists your evidence clearly for board members.

Method 2: Secure Public Link

Send a unique URL to an auditor. They get a Redacted View—meaning they see that you passed, but they don't see your private internal IP addresses or secrets.
