Evidence that collects itself.
Screenshots make poor evidence: they're manual, undated, and out of date the moment they're taken. TruOps collects evidence from the source, on a schedule, with a timestamp.
Evidence freshness
By source, against each control’s schedule
Hours on evidence requests
Per audit cycle, as tests replace screenshots
TruOps collects evidence from three places. Connected tools are checked on each control's schedule, with every result and timestamp stored. Documents in the Data Room are linked to the questions and requirements they support. And responders upload files, with an agent checking that each one fits. A live list shows what's still missing.
The problem
Collecting evidence by hand pulls engineers away from their work, produces undated files, and leaves gaps that surface during the audit.
The challenge
Good evidence is relevant, dated, attributable, and covers the whole period. A screenshot in a folder named after the audit misses all four. Policies still need documents and questionnaires.
- A screenshot is out of date as soon as it's taken.
- SharePoint is full of files that don't map to anything.
- Your sample for the period has holes you can't fill after the fact.
What you're probably using today
Evidence collection usually means SharePoint folders, Jira attachments, and tool exports pasted into Excel.
| What you use now | Where it falls short | With TruOps |
|---|---|---|
| SharePoint or Drive folders named after the audit | Files with no date and no link to a control. | Documents in the Data Room are sorted, routed, and linked to the question they support. |
| Ticket attachments and chat threads | No clear owner, and gaps across the audit period. | Connectors store timestamped results with the raw data. |
| SOC 2 automation tools | Great for getting certified, with automated tests, a big framework library, and often a trust center. Maturity scoring, custom frameworks, and deeper risk or vendor work can fall outside what they cover. | Keep your automated checks. Use any framework as your anchor, map the rest with partial overlaps clearly marked, and run vendor and risk work in the same place. Start with the policies and reports you already have. |
How it works in TruOps
- ConnectThe tools that hold your evidence.
- ScheduleChecks run on each control's schedule.
- LinkDocuments linked to the requirements they support.
- GuideResponders get told right away when an upload doesn't fit.
- TrackA live list of evidence that's still missing.
What you end up with
- Timestamped evidence from the source.
- Every file linked to what it supports.
- Fewer interruptions for engineers.
How TruOps helps
- Stored results
- Each check keeps its result and raw data.
- Missing-evidence list
- Always know what's still missing.
Questions
What counts as good compliance evidence?
Evidence that's relevant, dated, traceable to a source, and covers the period in question. See What is compliance evidence?
Do we have to rip out the tools we already use?
No. TruOps connects to your cloud, identity, endpoint, vulnerability, and code tools. Spreadsheets, prior reports, and policies upload into the Data Room. If you're moving from a SOC 2 automation tool or an enterprise GRC suite, you bring over your frameworks, evidence, vendors, and risks.
Can we bring our existing assessments, control lists, and vendor files?
Yes. Upload workbooks, reports, policies, and vendor exports. TruOps turns them into structured questionnaires, controls, and risks, each linked to the file it came from, for you to review.
