LD-Forge keeps you audit-ready every day of the year — across seven frameworks — with under 10 hours of your team's time.
Every year brings new frameworks, new auditor questions, and new evidence requests. The compliance burden expands — but headcount does not. Teams end up spending nights and weekends preparing for audits instead of running the business.
The traditional audit cycle is a treadmill. You sprint for weeks, produce a report, and the moment it's submitted the clock starts again. Nothing carries forward. Nothing gets easier.
| The old approach | What still belongs to your team |
|---|---|
| Spreadsheets tracking 110+ controls by hand | Approve exceptions and accept residual risk |
| Emailing colleagues for screenshots every quarter | Make business decisions about scope and boundaries |
| Re-writing the same policy language year after year | Review and sign off on proposed control changes |
| Mapping evidence to frameworks from scratch each audit | Own the relationship with your auditor and stakeholders |
| POA&Ms that grow but never close | Set priorities and allocate budget for remediation |
Instead of preparing for an audit, you are always ready for one. The work that used to be a scramble becomes a steady, automated rhythm.
| Periodic compliance | Autonomous compliance |
|---|---|
| Evidence collected before the audit window | Evidence collected continuously, automatically |
| Gap assessments run once a year | Gaps detected the moment they appear |
| Controls mapped manually per framework | One control library maps to all frameworks |
| Audit prep is a project with a deadline | Audit readiness is a state, not a project |
| Your team does the recurring work | LD-Forge owns the recurring work |
LD-Forge becomes the owner of the recurring compliance work — evidence collection, control mapping, gap tracking, POA&M management, report generation. Your team keeps the decisions. We keep the treadmill running.
No hallucinations. No guesses. Every control answer, every piece of evidence, every gap assessment traces back to a source you can point to.
LD-Forge pulls live data from your identity provider, cloud accounts, endpoint management, and ticketing — not from a questionnaire.
Every claim is checked against the system it describes. If a control says MFA is enforced, we confirm it in your IdP.
Each evidence artifact links to its origin — timestamp, system, query. Your auditor can verify anything in one click.
Autonomous does not mean anonymous. Every LD-Forge engagement is led by a named compliance lead who is personally accountable for your readiness — backed by a formal commitment.
A dedicated compliance lead — not a chatbot — is responsible for your audit readiness. They know your environment, your frameworks, and your auditor. They are the person who picks up the phone.
Every LD-Forge deployment comes with a formal certificate naming the human authority behind the system — the person who signs off, the escalation path, and the guarantee terms.
LD-Forge is not software you buy and hope. It is a service with three working parts — each with a clear role, together delivering audit readiness.
A named human expert who owns your audit readiness, reviews every proposal, and is your single point of contact. Not a help desk — your compliance lead.
An AI agent that monitors your systems 24/7, collects evidence, detects gaps, drafts controls, and prepares audit-ready packages — all reviewed by your compliance lead before anything reaches you.
The workspace where evidence lives, controls are mapped, gaps are tracked, and reports are generated. One control library, seven frameworks, every audit.
LD-Forge runs autonomously — but never without human authority. Every action that changes your compliance posture passes through a human gate before it is executed.
One control library maps to every framework. Evidence collected once is reused everywhere — no duplicate work across audits.
Service organization controls for financial reporting. Type I and Type II readiness.
Trust services criteria — security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, privacy.
Information security management system. Annex A controls mapped and evidence-ready.
AI management system standard. Controls for responsible AI development and deployment.
Quality management system. Process documentation and continual improvement evidence.
Cybersecurity Framework — Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover.
Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Level 2. NIST SP 800-171 practices, fully mapped.
A single set of controls maps to all seven frameworks. Update once, propagate everywhere.
Collect evidence once. It satisfies every framework that requires it — automatically linked.
If you face multiple frameworks per year, LD-Forge was built for you.
LD-Forge runs a full compliance simulation against your environment — six stages from raw data to committed plan — so you know exactly what it takes to get audit-ready before you commit.
Pull in your existing policies, diagrams, asset inventories, and prior audit reports. No cleanup required — we take it as-is.
Link your live systems — identity provider, cloud accounts, endpoint management, ticketing. Read-only, verified connections.
LD-Forge builds a model of your compliance environment — assets, controls, data flows, and scope boundaries.
Gap analysis against all seven frameworks. Know exactly what is met, what is partial, and what is missing — with evidence.
Cross-map your controls to every framework requirement. See which evidence satisfies multiple audits — and where duplicates exist.
A concrete plan with timelines, owners, and a guaranteed audit-ready date. You review, approve, and we begin.
We put our fee on the line. If LD-Forge does not deliver audit readiness by the committed date, you do not pay for the engagement.
| Your Team | LD-Forge | Timeline | Guarantee | Auditor | After First Audit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 10 hours total. Review and approve only. | Everything else. Evidence, mapping, gaps, reports. | Committed date set at kickoff. | Audit-ready by the date — or no fee. | Independent CPA firm, coordinated by LD-Forge. | Continuous mode. Every subsequent audit is already done. |
Get a free compliance simulation and gap analysis. We will show you the six-stage path from where you are today to audit-ready — with a guaranteed date — before you spend a dollar.
