A failed test becomes a finding, not a spreadsheet row.

Sample by risk, record results in a sample-by-step matrix, capture exceptions with root cause, and let a governed sign-off promote a failed test straight into a finding.

The shape of the problem · 01

What this actually feels like.

  • 01Every quarter, the testing workpaper is rebuilt from last quarter’s spreadsheet.
  • 02The sample is whatever was easiest to pull, not where the exposure is.
  • 03An exception gets noted in a cell comment and never becomes a tracked issue.
  • 04Proving a prohibited practice is absent means pulling records by hand and hoping the query was right.
How Zovos handles it · 02

Five steps, one graph.

Every step writes back to the same controls, policies, and issues your team already owns. There is no second source of truth.

  1. 01
    Program
    Start from 20 monitoring checklists and 15 work programs. Each program keeps its own workpaper and history.
  2. 02
    Sample
    Draw the sample by risk, so effort lands where the exposure is. The sampling is recorded on the workpaper.
  3. 03
    Test
    Record results in a sample-by-step matrix. Exceptions capture their root cause where they occur.
  4. 04
    Sign off
    At governed sign-off, a failed test promotes into a finding that carries the citation, the owner, and the evidence.
  5. 05
    Prove absence
    Absence testing runs negative assurance against the 13 prohibitions in the corpus, 9 of them swept automatically today. Questionnaires collect structured, reviewable answers.
