01
Ingest
Connect operational sources. Every artifact retains provenance-system, path, and timestamp.
Your auditors ask for proof. You should have it ready.
Minerva Evidence maps controls to sources, answers auditor requests with citations, and surfaces gaps before the review window opens. One system. Full lineage. No scramble.

The audit risk no one talks about
You did the work. But can you prove it under scrutiny?
Evidence exists-scattered across drives, ticketing tools, wikis, and email threads. When auditors request proof, the issue is not competence. It is traceability: which artifact maps to which control, who owns it, and whether it is current.
1
Evidence scattered across systems
Confluence, Google Drive, Jira, Slack. No single view ties artifacts to controls.
2
Ownership is unclear
Critical controls have no assigned evidence owner. Accountability surfaces only during the review.
3
Proof requests trigger fire drills
Engineers drop roadmap work to pull logs and screenshots. Hours lost; quality degrades.
4
Confidence drops without lineage
Answers without source citations become findings risk. The auditor sees effort, not proof.
How Minerva resolves this
One evidence engine. Intake to auditor response.
Minerva structures what you already operate. No black boxes. Status, source, and ownership stay visible at every layer.
02
Map
Link evidence to controls and frameworks. Coverage gaps become visible before the audit window.
03
Answer
Respond to auditor questions with traceable, source-cited answers. Explicit confidence, no narrative padding.
04
Export
Generate structured evidence packs for review: what was checked, by whom, from which source, and when.
Under the hood
Computed decisions you can defend—not narrative guesses.
We built discriminative models for audit evidence: they classify artifacts, score coverage against your frameworks, and surface gaps before requests land. Outputs stay anchored to your sources and an explicit evidence graph—inspectable, not improvised.
01
Classification tied to each control
Artifacts are evaluated against the controls they must satisfy—accepted, weak, or insufficient—with rationale you can trace.
02
Coverage-aware confidence
Scores reflect mapped coverage and freshness across sources, not a single opaque number.
03
Gap discovery before the auditor asks
Missing owners, stale proof, and coverage holes surface systematically instead of during fire drills.
04
Evidence graph you can explain
Decisions reference paths in the graph—what linked where, and why a classification held under review.
Core modules
Built for how GRC teams actually work.
Readiness at a glance. Operational evidence tables. Defensible Q&A. A gap report that drives remediation before findings.
Readiness dashboard
Readiness score, controls coverage, evidence volume, risk distribution. Leadership sees defensible status-not a slide deck.
Evidence table
Document, control, source, owner, status, confidence. Every row is explainable. Weak or stale proof surfaces early.
Auditor Q&A with citations
Questions in, cited answers out. Linked sources and a confidence indicator-responses are verifiable, not anecdotal.
Gap report
Critical gap, weak evidence, missing owner, outdated. Prioritized remediation. Fewer audit surprises.
Process
Four steps. Operational from day one.
1
Connect sources
Repositories, wikis, ticketing tools, and storage systems you already trust.
2
Map controls
Tie artifacts to framework requirements. Coverage and gaps become visible.
3
Build evidence packs
Validated status and traceable lineage per control-exportable for auditors.
4
Close gaps early
Remediate weak proof before the audit window. Fix on your schedule, not theirs.
Engagement
Audit Evidence Sprint - 14 days
A bounded engagement: map controls, validate evidence quality, and close traceability gaps before your next ISO 27001, SOC 2, or enterprise security review. Concrete deliverables. No open-ended program.
Deliverable
Control-to-evidence coverage matrix

Outcome
Structured pilot review with your compliance lead
Security posture
Built for teams that answer to boards and regulators.
Data control
You retain full ownership of artifacts, sourcing policies, and access controls.
Privacy-first architecture
Structured handling, minimized exposure, no informal sharing of compliance data.
Audit traceability
Sources, timestamps, and ownership visible for every defensible response.
Enterprise readiness
Role-based visibility for CTOs, COOs, compliance leads, and GRC stakeholders.
Built for these teams
Minerva Evidence is designed for organizations where audit readiness is an operational commitment, not a checkbox.
Right fit
- Preparing for ISO 27001, SOC 2, or enterprise security reviews
- CTOs, COOs, or compliance leads who own audit readiness
- Teams that need evidence mapped to controls with verified sources
- Leadership that requires readiness visibility before the audit window
Not the right fit
- General document storage without control mapping requirements
- Teams without executive sponsorship for audit preparedness
- Organizations that prefer informal evidence practices over structured ownership
Your next audit has a date.
Your evidence should be ready before it.
