Compliance audits are expensive. A typical SOC 2 Type II audit costs between $50,000 and $150,000, according to industry surveys by A-LIGN and Schellman. A significant portion of that cost is not the audit firm's fee itself, but the internal effort: gathering evidence, coordinating with control owners, remediating findings, and managing the back-and-forth between auditors and internal teams.
The Audit Lifecycle
TATER's Audit Management module covers the complete audit lifecycle in four phases:
Finding Management
Audit findings in TATER are structured records with severity classification, affected controls, responsible parties, remediation plans, and status tracking. Each finding links to the relevant compliance controls, creating a direct traceability from audit observation to technical implementation. When a finding is remediated, the linked controls are automatically re-tested to verify the fix.
"The most expensive audit finding is the one that appears in the same report two years in a row. Tracking findings through remediation is not optional; it is how you prevent that."
Evidence Collection Workflows
TATER's evidence collection workflow assigns evidence requests to specific control owners with deadlines and status tracking. Control owners receive their assignments, upload or reference evidence, and mark requests as complete. The audit team can track evidence collection progress in real time, identifying bottlenecks before they delay the audit timeline.
The audit calendar view provides a visual timeline of past and upcoming engagements, helping organizations plan for audit season and distribute preparation workload across the year rather than scrambling in the final weeks.
How TATER Helps
TATER's Audit Management module streamlines the entire audit lifecycle. Plan engagements, collect evidence, manage findings, and track remediation in one platform. Reduce audit preparation time, improve finding response rates, and maintain a calendar that keeps your team ahead of audit deadlines.
