Multi-Framework Audit Readiness Without Manual Evidence Tagging
Customer Type: Mid-to-Large Enterprise with Recurring Audits
Primary Framework(s): PCI DSS + SOC 2 + ISO + AI Governance
Workflow Type: Evidence Ingestion → Control Mapping → Auditor Readiness
Customer Profile
- Enterprise with multiple certifications and recurring recertification cycles
- Evidence spread across GRC tools, ticketing, cloud consoles, and document repositories
- Audit timelines range from quick SOC 2 refreshes to intensive PCI DSS periods
The Challenge
- PCI DSS recertification created long, painful evidence collection windows
- Evidence existed, but wasn’t mapped to controls in a reusable way
- Manual tagging inside GRC tools was slow and inconsistent
- Policies and documents lived in folders with no actionable framework view
How They Used CMAI
- Submitted policies, scan outputs, configs, and operational evidence artifacts
- CMAI mapped each artifact to relevant controls across multiple frameworks
- Stored evidence as “control-addressing” objects for fast retrieval
- Enabled instant views of “which evidence satisfies which controls”
- Reduced manual mapping/labeling effort inside existing GRC workflows
Implementation Pattern
Docs + Scans + Config Exports → CMAI API → Control-Mapped Evidence Index (GRC / Auditor Portal)
Results Delivered
- Months → Weeks for evidence preparation on high-burden audits
- Eliminated Manual Evidence Tagging inside GRC workflows
- Continuous Readiness instead of point-in-time scrambles
Why This Was a Fit
They weren’t missing evidence—they were missing the mapping layer that makes evidence instantly usable across frameworks.

Drop-In Compliance Annotation (Universal Pattern)
CMAI is deployed as a stateless API inside existing pipelines to automatically tag findings, policies, and questionnaires wit structured control mappings—without requiring platform migration or centralized data storage.
