Audit readiness
Prepare records that help reviewers follow requirements, decisions and evidence.
What does audit readiness mean for AI governance?
Audit readiness means being prepared to explain how the AI systems and management processes within scope are governed, supported by organised, current evidence.
A reviewer should be able to follow the relationship between a requirement, the action taken to address it and the records showing what happened. Responsibilities, decisions and unresolved gaps should be visible too.
HumanWox connects these records to support preparation for customer reviews and audits. The records still need to be complete, accurate and relevant to the review’s scope.
How should we prepare for a customer audit of our AI system?
Confirm the audit’s scope, criteria and evidence requirements with the customer. Identify the AI system and deployment being assessed, then review the information previously supplied to that customer.
Check that the supporting evidence is current, identify gaps and assign people who can explain the system and its controls. Agree how confidential material will be shared.
HumanWox keeps governance records and approved questionnaire responses available for this preparation, helping you check consistency across customer requests.
Can the same AI governance evidence support several reviews?
Yes. The same evidence may support a customer questionnaire, an internal review and an audit when it is relevant to each requirement.
For example, a dated evaluation report may support both a buyer’s testing question and an internal deployment decision. Each reviewer may still need additional detail.
Maintain the evidence with its scope, date and context, then link it to the requirements and decisions it supports. HumanWox connects these records so useful work can be reused.
Does using AI governance software make us compliant or certified?
Using software does not establish compliance or award certification. Your organisation remains responsible for determining its requirements, operating appropriate controls and demonstrating that they work.
Software can help structure the work, maintain evidence and identify gaps. Certification requires a separate assessment against the relevant standard.
HumanWox supports governance records and audit preparation. It does not certify organisations or audit its customers.
