Find the gaps before the auditor does.
Run AI-assisted internal assessments before the external auditor arrives — across processes, documents, and the people performing the work.
Preparing for an audit is expensive, manual, and usually a small sample.
Before an external assessment, organizations interpret requirements, build checklists, review process definitions, inspect documents, interview process owners, sample practitioners, and document gaps.
- Interpret requirements, build checklists
- Review process definitions
- Inspect documents
- Interview owners, sample practitioners
- …and still only see a small sample
A compliant process does not automatically mean the organization is audit-ready.
The process may satisfy the applicable standard, while document content is incomplete or inconsistent and practitioners interpret or apply the process differently.
Compliant on paper. Not ready in practice.
Assess readiness across process, documents, and people.
The platform checks whether the defined process meets applicable internal policies, standards, and regulations; reviews document content against templates, expected outlines, best practices, and requirements; and uses adaptive AI-supported surveys and voice interviews to understand whether people consistently understand and apply the process.
- Process vs. requirements
- Document content vs. templates
- Adaptive surveys at scale
- Voice interviews where needed
How the assessment runs
- 1Check the process
Use AI to assess the defined process against the internal policies, standards, regulations, and other requirements that apply. Automatically map requirements to process elements, identify missing or partial coverage, and surface the gaps that need review.
- 2Review the documents
Let AI review document and work-product content at scale against required templates, expected structure, best practices, and applicable requirements. Surface missing, weak, or inconsistent content — not just missing files.
- 3Assess the people
Use adaptive AI-supported surveys to identify patterns across a broader population, then AI voice interviews to probe responses, clarify inconsistencies, and understand why practices differ.
- 4Bring the findings together
Use AI to synthesize findings across process, documents, and people. Connect each issue back to the relevant requirement and distinguish whether the weakness sits in the process definition, document content, practitioner understanding, or a combination of the three — ready for human auditor review.
One requirement. Three perspectives.
- ProcessCompliant
The required review is defined and the process satisfies the applicable ASPICE / ISO requirement.
- DocumentsContent gap identified
Project documentation follows the expected structure, but required risk-analysis content is incomplete against the defined template and best-practice criteria.
- PeoplePractice varies
Adaptive survey responses show different interpretations of when the review is required. Follow-up voice interviews point to unclear applicability criteria.
The process is compliant, but documentation quality and practitioner understanding are inconsistent.
Strengthen the document guidance and clarify when the review applies.
Walk into the external audit knowing where the weak spots are.
A broader, evidence-backed view of audit readiness that shows whether weaknesses sit in the process definition, document content, practitioner understanding, or across several of those layers.
- More coverage with less manual effort
- Gaps found earlier
- Document quality checked systematically
- Human auditors focus where judgement matters
The platform expands coverage, analyses process and document content, gathers practitioner input, identifies inconsistencies, and recommends where human judgement is required.
Product capabilities behind this use case
Assessing the process against what applies, checking the documents it produces, and keeping every finding traceable to the thing that triggered it.
Questions we get
- Does the platform replace the internal auditor?
- No. AI expands assessment coverage, analyses processes and documents, gathers practitioner input, and highlights inconsistencies. Accountable auditors review the findings and determine formal conclusions.
- What does the assessment actually cover?
- Three perspectives: the defined process, the content of documents and work products, and the people performing the work. Looking across all three helps reveal gaps that would be missed by checking the process definition alone.
- Does document review only check whether required files exist?
- No. AI can analyse document and work-product content against required templates, expected structure, best practices, and applicable requirements to identify missing, weak, or inconsistent content.
- How are practitioners assessed?
- Adaptive AI-supported surveys can identify patterns across a broader population. Targeted AI voice interviews can then probe responses, clarify inconsistencies, and help explain why practices differ.
- Can we use this before a formal external assessment?
- Yes. The purpose is to identify likely weak spots earlier, so teams and auditors can focus remediation and human review before the external assessor arrives.
Need help getting ready?
PEDCO can run the internal assessment with you and engineer the process changes it surfaces — the readiness work and the remediation, rather than a report that names gaps and stops.
Check the process. Review the documents. Ask the people. Find the gaps earlier.
