What is audit findings remediation?
Audit findings remediation is the process of fixing problems identified in an audit or assessment. Each finding gets an owner, a corrective action, and a due date, and is tracked to closure. In a SOC 2 report, unremediated control failures appear as exceptions.
What the buyer is really asking
What happens after an audit finds something? Buyers want each finding tracked to closure with an owner and a due date. Say where findings live and how overdue items get escalated.
Other ways buyers ask it
Every one of these wants the same answer:
- “How do you track and remediate audit findings?”
- “How do you handle corrective actions?”
- “Were there exceptions in your last SOC 2 report?”
Evidence to have ready
- A findings tracker with owners and due dates
- The management response section of your SOC 2 report
How Tyrvar answers this
Tyrvar treats every wording above as one question. You write the answer once, attach the evidence, and revisit it when your setup changes. Each buyer gets that approved answer no matter how their questionnaire words it. If you have not answered it yet, Tyrvar flags the question for you and does not make something up. Try it on your own questionnaire.
