Plan manual evidence in the product instead of spreadsheets outside it

You’re the product designer. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 15, 2026.

Continuous monitoring loses its promise when uncovered controls disappear into spreadsheets.

Compliance managers need a complete audit picture while the product must stay clear about what it can and cannot verify.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My auditor asked for the server evidence, and I had to hunt through three spreadsheets.”

Tochukwu Frimpong · Compliance Manager

Owns audit readiness for a regulated technology organization with both cloud and on-premises systems.

What is at stake

Uncovered controls are being managed outside the product until an auditor asks for proof. You must weigh a fuller planning flow against clear limits on what the platform can verify.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • continuous coverage vs manual evidence reality
  • actionable planning vs verification clarity
  • reusable patterns vs workflow-specific context
  • audit readiness vs engineering interruption

Why Vanta

Continuous compliance monitoring depends on making evidence gaps visible before they become audit-week work.
