Create an Audit By Framework

Method #1: Via the Audit Center

1. Sign in to Scrut and click Audit → Audit Center on the left navigation panel.

2. Click the +New Audit button and select By Framework in the dropdown.

   

3. Select the framework that you want to audit.

4. Enter a name for the audit.

5. Choose the Audit Type:

   • Internal: Conducted within your organization

   • External: Conducted by a third-party audit firm
     Note: Only one active external audit is allowed per framework at a time. However, multiple internal audits can be created as needed.

6. From the Entities dropdown, select the organizational entity or entities that the audit belongs to.

7. In the Audit Date field, select the specific date when the audit will take place.

8. In the Observation Period field, select the Start Date and End Date and set an observation period for the audit project to the period for which you are being audited. The evidence you’ve collected will be scoped based on these dates.

9. Click Create.

   

   

Heads Up!

When an audit is created, its status will be initially set to Upcoming. The status will change to In Progress when findings or requests are added or when the audit date arrives.

You can also create an audit for a framework directly from the Framework details page.

1. Click Compliance → Frameworks on the left navigation panel.

2. Click the Framework for which you want to create an audit. This takes you to the Framework details page.

   

3. Click the Create Audit button at the top.

   

4. Enter the audit details and click Create.

   

The created audit details are available both on the Framework details page and in the Audit Center.
