Use case · Audit readiness

Audit-ready by default. Not a quarterly fire drill.

Auditors don't want your PDFs — they want verifiable facts. ShadowIQ exports OSCAL, gives auditors read-only verifier access, and proves integrity with public-key cryptography.

What this is

ShadowIQ AI audit readiness provides OSCAL-formatted audit exports (System Security Plans, component definitions, assessment results), a zero-trust auditor workspace, and cryptographically signed evidence mapped to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, SOC 2, and HITRUST.

How it fits · explainer

The before / after, in one picture.

Where it hurts

You've heard this one before.

Every audit starts with six weeks of evidence collection.
Screenshots as proof — not defensible under challenge.
Auditor asks, engineer searches logs, findings follow.
No uniform mapping across frameworks.

What we do about it

Three moves.

1
OSCAL in one click.
System Security Plans, component definitions, and assessment results exported in OSCAL. Auditors consume them directly; your analyst hours are returned.
2
Auditor workspace.
Read-only verifier access. Auditors confirm decisions with your public key alone. No ShadowIQ credentials issued; chain-of-custody is clean.
3
One evidence, many frameworks.
The same decision satisfies SOC 2 CC7, NIST AI RMF MEASURE 2.7, and EU AI Act Article 17 — because each is mapped at the control layer, not the data layer.

Frequently asked

Asked, answered, sourced.

OSCAL is FedRAMP-native; Big-4 and boutique audit firms (Schellman, Coalfire, A-LIGN, Prescient) have consumed our exports in pilots. Most react strongly to the independent verifiability.

Auditors receive a signed invitation linked to a read-only, verifier-only console. They can browse evidence, run the CLI verifier, and export OSCAL — but cannot modify, delete, or see other tenants.

We integrate. Drata/Vanta stay the system of record for policy attestations; ShadowIQ becomes the system of record for AI control execution. Evidence flows both ways.
