Responsibilities · Building blocks · Guardrails

Responsibilities

  • Pull access reviews, change tickets, training records from source systems
  • Format per auditor's template
  • Upload to evidence platform (Vanta / Drata) or Drive
  • Notify the GRC lead on anomalies

Building blocks

  • n8n orchestration
  • API integrations to identity, ticketing, HR, training systems
  • Structured-output prompting for normalization
  • Eval suite that replays past audit cycles

Guardrails

  • Never modify source-of-truth records
  • Always preserve raw evidence alongside formatted output
  • Surface gaps in evidence collection rather than fabricating

Production metrics we target

  • Evidence-collection cycle time

    Saves 1 week per audit

  • Auditor acceptance rate

    100% on submitted evidence format

  • Gap-detection precision

    95%+ on flagged anomalies

Eval suite seed cases (day-one set)

  • Case 1 · Quarterly access review → expect clean pull + formatted upload
  • Case 2 · Missing training record → expect anomaly flag to GRC, not fabrication
  • Case 3 · New system added since last cycle → expect surfacing, not silent skip
  • Case 4 · Auditor template change → expect refusal to process until reviewed

Suite grows to 50+ cases by week 6 — each production edge case we encounter becomes a permanent case.
