Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Nudge Security's audit and compliance solution
What evidence does Nudge Security produce for auditors?
Nudge Security generates documentation of SaaS assets in scope, access review actions and outcomes, employee offboarding records, and vendor security and compliance data—the records auditors commonly request during SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar reviews.
What does IT audit and compliance mean in a SaaS environment?
In a SaaS environment, IT audit and compliance means demonstrating that you know what apps your organization uses, who has access to them, and that access is reviewed and removed appropriately. Most compliance frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST, require exactly this, and the challenge is that SaaS sprawl makes it difficult to maintain an accurate, current inventory.
Can Nudge Security send data to our GRC platform?
Yes. Nudge Security connects to GRC tools through its public API, letting you push asset inventory, access review results, and offboarding records into your existing compliance workflows.
Does Nudge Security help with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other frameworks?
Yes. Nudge Security supports common IT compliance frameworks by automating SaaS asset discovery, access reviews, and employee offboarding—the core controls most frameworks audit. Its reporting is designed to produce the evidence auditors ask for.
How does Nudge Security help scope assets for an IT audit?
Nudge Security continuously discovers and categorizes every SaaS and AI app in use, and classifies apps by their likely compliance scope, including developer tools, infrastructure providers, and platforms commonly subject to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements. You go into an audit with an accurate, current asset list rather than building one from scratch.
Can Nudge Security automate access reviews for compliance?
Yes. Nudge Security automates periodic user access reviews by sending nudges to reviewers via Slack or email, tracking responses, and generating audit-ready reports. KarmaCheck reduced its SOC 2 audit time by 66% using Nudge Security.
