About This Automation

Compliance and accreditation tracking requires monitoring multiple certification deadlines, collecting evidence from teams, and coordinating audits with external bodies. Manual tracking across spreadsheets and email creates delays, missed deadlines, and scattered documentation.

Automation monitors compliance calendars, triggers evidence requests automatically, tracks submission status, and prepares audit summaries. Teams receive timely reminders, evidence is organized centrally, and audits proceed on schedule with complete documentation.

Key features:
Monitor compliance deadlines and automatically identify required evidence for each certification framework
Send evidence requests to stakeholders and track submission status with automatic reminders
Schedule audit meetings and send calendar invitations with preparation checklists to all attendees
Organize collected evidence into a central repository indexed by certification type and audit date
Generate audit readiness reports summarizing evidence collected, gaps, and next renewal dates
Log audit findings and update compliance tracker with remediation items and future deadlines

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Compliance Deadline Detectedtrigger

The automation platform monitors the compliance calendar and detects when a deadline is within 60 days or a renewal date arrives.

2. Retrieve Evidence Requirements

The automation queries the compliance framework database to identify what evidence and documentation is required for this specific certification.

3. Send Evidence Request via Email

The automation sends a templated email to all relevant stakeholders with a list of required evidence, submission deadline, and a link to the shared evidence folder.

4. Create Audit Tracking Record

A new record is created with the deadline, required evidence, stakeholder list, and submission status for tracking.

5. Schedule Calendar Reminders

Calendar events are created for the compliance officer and stakeholders with reminders at 60 days, 30 days, and 7 days before the deadline.

6. Send Notification to Team

A message is posted to the compliance channel summarizing the upcoming deadline, required evidence, and next steps.

7. Track Evidence Submissions

The automation monitors the evidence folder and updates the record with submission status, sending automated reminders to teams that have not submitted.

8. Generate Audit Readiness Report

One week before the audit, the automation generates a summary report listing all evidence collected, outstanding items, and any gaps for the compliance officer to review.
