Exporting proof from an audit

Roles and permissions

The following roles can export proof from an audit:

  • Administrators

  • Compliance managers with manager permissions for the audit

  • Users with manager permissions for the audit

  • External auditors who are members of the audit

Note

You can only export private proof if you are a member of that proof. The lock icon in the grid next to the proof name indicates that a piece of proof is private.

    The Export proof window opens.

  6. From the Organize By drop-down menu, select how you want the proof to be organized. Options include:

    • Flat List - All of the proof is exported into a single folder.

    • Control ID - proof is exported into a separate folder for each control.

    • Request reference - proof into a separate folder for each request.

  7. Optionally, select one or both of the following checkboxes:

    • Prepend file name with control ID - Adds the ID of the associated control to the beginning of the proof file name.

    • Prepend file name with request reference - Adds the ID of the associated request to the beginning of the proof file name.

    Note

    Selecting the the Prepend filename with request reference checkbox is highly recommended.

    If you select both checkboxes, the control ID displays first followed by the request ID. Example:

    CABF1.3-1.b_REQ012_S3 Bucket Replication.pdf

  8. Below Select date range, specify a particular date range.
