Dashboard
The Dashboard tab shows a summary view of the audit, including an overview of findings, requests, and corrective actions. For detailed, consolidated views, use the separate Findings, Requests, and Corrective Actions tabs.
Requirements
The Requirements tab lists every requirement in scope for the audit. Click a requirement to expand it and view its linked artifacts, such as policies, evidence, and tests. Click View More on any artifact to see its attachments and additional details.
Requirement Statuses
Each requirement's status reflects the combined status of its linked artifacts, as explained below.
- Needs Review: This is the default status for every requirement, meaning review has not started or is not yet complete. A requirement also shows this status if at least one linked artifact is still Needs Review.
- Accepted: A requirement shows this status once all its linked artifacts have been marked Accepted.
- Action Required: A requirement shows this status when all its linked artifacts have an open finding or request.
Reviewing Requirement Artifacts
For each artifact:
- Auditors can click Mark as Accepted to mark it as satisfying the requirement.
- Add a finding directly against it if you identify a gap or discrepancy.
- Create a request against it if you need additional evidence or documentation from the audit team.
Once a finding or request exists for an artifact, the artifact displays a counter showing how many are open. To add a custom control or an additional artifact to a requirement, contact your organization's Admin or your Scrut CSM.
Heads Up! Once you mark an audit complete, its requirements, artifacts, findings, and requests become read-only. You cannot change any status or add a new finding or request. Corrective actions linked to the audit remain editable. See Mark an Audit Completed for full details.

Requests
Auditors can create requests for any audit-related data from admins or other users.
Corrective Actions
