Compliance and audits

Compliance work that runs on schedule and proves itself.

Turn recurring reviews, control tests, and audit preparation into workflows with named owners, due dates, and required evidence. Every run records who did what, when, and what they attached, so the audit trail is already there when the auditor asks.

Quarterly Access Review

Compliance · Q2 2026

Progress 3 of 5 complete
  • Export user list from each system
  • Managers confirm access is still required
  • Remove access flagged for revocation
  • Attach evidence of removals Due today

Recurring reviews

The review happens every quarter, whether or not anyone remembers.

Schedule access reviews, policy attestations, vendor assessments, and control tests to start on their own. Each run assigns steps to roles, so the right person gets the work even when the team changes.

  • Runs start on a calendar or business-day schedule
  • Steps are assigned by role, not by name
  • Reminders and escalations go out automatically when a step is late

Evidence and approvals

Every step captures the evidence the auditor will ask for.

Make a file upload, a value, or a sign-off required before a step can be completed. Add an approval step so a second person has to review before the run closes. Nothing is marked done without the proof attached.

  • Required attachments, fields, and subtasks on any step
  • Four-eyes approvals with the decision recorded in the run
  • Directions, procedures, and links embedded in the step itself
Attach evidence of removals
Due today

Export the removal log from each system and attach it here. The compliance lead reviews it in the next step.

Required to complete this step
  • Number of accounts removed
  • Date removals were completed
  • Removal log (file upload)
2 of 3 required items done
Audit trail

The history is already written when the audit starts.

Each run keeps a complete, searchable record of who completed each step, when, what they entered, and what they attached. Export it for the auditor, or give them read access to the runs themselves.

  • Searchable activity log on every run
  • Reporting and data exports for the period under review
  • Workflow versioning shows which procedure was in force at the time

SSO and permissions

SAML SSO, departments, and role-based permissions keep compliance runs visible to the people who should see them and no one else.

Workflow versioning

Each run records the version of the procedure it followed, so you can show an auditor exactly what the process was on any given date.

SOC 2 Type II

Manifestly is audited annually. Review the report and controls on the trust center.

Questions from compliance teams.

Yes. Give an auditor a guest or read-only account scoped to the department, or export the runs and activity for the period under review.

Yes. Add an approval step assigned to a different role. The run cannot complete until the approver signs off, and the decision is recorded in the run history.

Reminders go out automatically before and after the due date. You can also escalate late steps to a manager, and overdue work is visible on the dashboard until it is done.

Workflows are versioned. Every run records the version it was started from, and you can view that version at any time.

Run compliance with nothing left to reconstruct.

Start with one review. Your team can run it this quarter.
