Tips for Evidence Managementâ
Tip: Name your artifacts descriptively â include the document type, scope, and year (e.g., "Penetration Test Report â Q1 2025") to make them easy to find during an audit.
Tip: Use the AI auto-classification feature to automatically tag artifacts by policy domain (e.g., Access Control, Incident Response). This speeds up evidence mapping.
Tip: Upload artifacts proactively, even before a scheduled audit. Having evidence pre-organized in Process Genie significantly reduces audit preparation time.
