Plan the audit. Run the report. Lock the record.

Internal and external audits against ISO® 27001 and TISAX® on the same form - with audit-lock and a versioned history from the first entry. 98.7% pass on first attempt.

Plan the audit. Run the report. Lock the record.
The audit lifecycle in Valiido

Three phases. One record. One trail.

Click a phase to see what happens on the screen and what the audit carries forward to the next one.

01

Phase 01 - Plan

Open the audit.

Set what this audit covers, against which standard, who runs it, when. Internal or external, same form.

In Valiido

Create an audit. Fill in title, period, type, scope, criteria, method, team, budget. The audit lands on the timeline alongside last year's.

  • Internal or external, one form
  • Period and team named on the record
  • Lives next to every past and planned audit
OutputAn audit on the timeline, ready to work.
02

Phase 02 - Run

Write the report on the record.

Walk the scope, capture what you saw, link the records you sampled. The report and the references sit on the audit itself.

In Valiido

Write the audit report in the rich-text content field. Reference any policy, control, risk, asset, incident, or task - the links stay live and the auditor clicks straight through.

  • Rich-text report inside the audit
  • Live links to policies, risks, assets, tasks, vendors, KPIs, management reviews, incidents
  • AuditMagic in the tab next door, findings grouped by resource
OutputA working audit report with live references to the ISMS.
03

Phase 03 - Lock

Lock the record.

When management signs off, set status to completed. The audit locks; any later change is logged.

In Valiido

Flip status to completed - title, period, type, scope, criteria, method, team, budget, and the report are frozen. Every change after that lands in the version history with author and timestamp.

  • Status change locks every audit field
  • Versioned history with author and timestamp
  • Unlock only by flipping status back to planned
OutputA locked audit with a full audit trail.
The audit report

Report on the audit itself. Locked on completion.

Write the audit report straight on the audit - headings, lists, tables, embedded evidence. Set the audit to completed and the editor closes; the audit-lock banner sits on top of the report.

  • Rich-text report inside the audit, no external Word file
  • Embedded images, lists, tables, and attachments
  • Locked on completion - the auditor sees the same version management did
  • Versioned from the first entry to the lock

Six occasions. Two types. One form.

Internal audit, surveillance, recertification, supplier and customer audits, management review - all of them fit the same form in Valiido. Audit type is Internal or External; the rest is scope and criteria.

Audits in Valiido - one record, one seal, one trail.

Everything an audit needs sits on one record. Closing it locks the fields; every later change carries author and timestamp.

Internal or external, same form

Set the audit type to Internal or External - the rest of the form stays the same. Same fields for title, period, scope, criteria, method, team, budget.

  • Understand the Standards
  • Assessment and Planning
  • Documentation and Implementation
  • Ongoing Compliance

Report on the audit itself

The audit report sits inside the audit, not in a separate Word file. Rich text, images, tables - always at the current version.

Live references from the ISMS

Policies, risks, tasks, assets, vendors, incidents, KPIs, management reviews - link them straight from the audit. References stay live, not snapshot.

Status change locks the record

Set status to completed - the audit locks. Title, period, scope, criteria, method, team, budget, report: all frozen until you flip the status back.

Management
  • Definition of Scope
  • Risk management procedure
  • Risk assessment
  • Training concept
  • Audit program

Versioned history, every edit kept

Every change to the audit lands in the version history, with author and timestamp. What the auditor sees is traceable, not just signed off.
