We utilize the best compliance management technology to help streamline the SOC readiness and audit process.
Free Compliance Management Solution Provided by DES
Fieldguide’s award-winning compliance management and audit platform combines decades of auditor experience with intuitive workflow automation to provide a better overall audit experience.
All-in-One SOC Compliance Solution
"From Readiness To Report"
Other audit readiness software providers stop short of conducting your actual audit and require additional vendors to get you your report. DES gets you from readiness to report with the most optimized audit process – bridging the gap between auditor experience and compliance workflow automation software through Fieldguide.
Automate Evidence Collection with 75+ Built-In Integrations
Fulfilling requests for audit data can be a tedious process, requiring team members to manually log in to multiple systems, search for the data, export the data, and then submit the information to the audit firm.
To streamline the audit data request process, Fieldguide offers 75+ integrations with third-party applications. Integrations minimize the hassle, delays, and potential errors with capturing disparate data from multiple systems, consolidating different data formats or communication protocols, and resolving any technical issues across multiple systems.
Integrations can provide significant benefits including evidence task automation, increased
productivity, improved data accuracy, and reduced manual data entry. Integrations allow us to work better with clients to directly import audit data from:
● HR Systems (ADP, Paychex, etc.)
● Ticketing Systems (Jira, AzureDevOps, etc.)
● Project Management Systems (Asana, Wrike, etc.)
● Accounting Systems (Quickbooks, Xero, etc.)
● IaaS Platforms (AWS)
Manage the Audit From a Single
Source-of-Truth
Gone are the days of countless emails, difficult to understand request lists, and hours wasted duplicating efforts and coordinating audit responsibilities and files between multiple departments (and locations). You can now easily manage your entire compliance program and audit projects from a single source of truth.
Set key project milestones with your auditor to keep your project on track, delegate auditor requests and compliance tasks directly to team members, set task due dates and/or automated task reminder emails, and track compliance and audit progress in real time.
Team members can also easily and securely upload evidence files and ask questions directly with auditors year-round. Fulfilling audit requests are as simple as dragging and dropping the requested files.
Customized To Fit Your Unique Needs and Preferred Approach
Unlike many one-size fits all GRC platforms, Fieldguide is highly customizable and allows our firm to develop and provide a tailored compliance program that fits your unique needs and preferred approach to the audit process.
Whether you are a small start-up with no compliance experience needing a step-by-step roadmap to SOC compliance or an established enterprise with multiple locations and compliance framework needs, we can develop a customized audit solution that leverages technology to reduce the burden and cost associated with the compliance and audit process.
We also partner with the leading GRC Platforms to provide SOC 2 Readiness Assessments and independent Audits
GRC platforms offer many features such as automated evidence collection and continuous monitoring capabilities (especially for clients that highly leverage IaaS & SaaS solutions). They also provide tools to help companies address many of the SOC 2 requirements (policy templates, risk assessments, vendor management, etc.).
GRC platforms can be very useful, but they do not automate the compliance process as often advertised. These platforms and the corresponding tools, policy templates, controls, and evidence tasks they provide require a lot of customization and if this is your first audit using the platform, it is important to select an auditor that is capable and willing to provide the guidance necessary to utilize the platform efficiently.
We differ from most CPA partners of GRC platforms by providing additional guided support for no extra cost to help you get the most out of the platform and ensure you are set up for successful future audits. Example activities we assist with include:
- customizing and removing unnecessary controls and evidence tasks
- providing a plan to utilize the platform tools along with consistent guidance and feedback to keep the project on track
- access to our library of tools/resources and evidence examples to speed up the readiness process
- performing a readiness assessment to ensure a successful audit outcome (SOC 2 Type 1)
For companies already using GRC platforms, or simply looking for an auditor, we provide a quick report while minimizing the work disruption associated with the audit process (all through the platform of your choice).
Either way, we are confident we can save you time and money on your upcoming SOC project.
