de.iterate is an Australian GRC platform with audit management built in. The Audit Centre handles your audit lifecycle, from the annual plan to the last corrective action. Findings, evidence and actions stay linked, so nothing slips through the cracks between one audit and the next.
Instead of managing policies in one place, risks in another, evidence in folders, and audits through a last-minute scramble, de.iterate connects the whole system. That means better visibility, clearer ownership, stronger assurance and less time lost to manual admin. The current platform spans policies, assurance tasks, registers, evidence, reporting, Trust Centre capabilities, auditor access and support for multiple frameworks.
We help you get your ducks in a row.

Last year’s findings are in a PDF. The corrective actions are in a spreadsheet. The person who agreed to fix the big one thought someone else was handling it.
Larger organisations have more findings and more places to keep them. Internal audit tracks its own in a register, the external auditor’s live in the management letter, the penetration tester’s are in a PDF on the security drive, and the regulator’s sit in a letter addressed to the CEO. Each quarter someone in risk compiles them into a single spreadsheet for the audit committee, by hand. Half the actions are assigned to a department rather than a person, a third have said “in progress” for over a year, and nobody is sure whether the finding closed by the external auditor is the same one internal audit raised again in June.
Then a calendar reminder pops up saying “corrective actions due”, and the room goes very quiet.
An audit runs smoothly when the program is planned, the auditor can see what they need without asking, and every finding ends up with a named owner and a date. de.iterate covers the whole cycle. Audits are scheduled and tracked in one place, the auditor works from a portal rather than an inbox, findings and corrective actions sit in registers linked to the audit that raised them, and the write-up is drafted for you rather than from scratch.
Plan your annual audit program, schedule engagements and track each audit through its phases. Certification, surveillance and internal audits all sit in the de.iterate Audit Centre.
Findings and corrective actions each have their own register, linked to the audit that raised them. Every action has an owner and is tracked through to closure.
The Auditor Portal gives your external auditor their own login to review your documents, controls and evidence. You'll have fewer email chains and a much calmer audit week. Auditors love de.iterate.
Findings from internal audits, external auditors, penetration tests and regulators all land in the same register, each linked to the controls and risks it relates to. You can see when two audits have raised the same issue, close it once, and show both auditors the same evidence.
Export an evidence pack for your auditor, ready to hand over. For internal audits, the platform even drafts the report for you to review, edit and approve.
Dashboards show open findings, overdue actions and closure rates by owner, business unit and audit, drawn from the live registers. The quarterly pack reflects the position on the day it’s presented, and the person who used to compile it by hand gets their quarter back.
Most questions about audits come down to who does what: what de.iterate handles, what your certification body handles, and what’s left for you. The answers below draw the lines, from who runs the audit to what your auditor sees when they log in.
We would if we could. ISO 17021-1 requires certification bodies to stay impartial, so an accredited external certification body runs your audit. de.iterate gets you ready for it and supports you through it.
Yes. The de.iterate team can attend your audit virtually or in person. Book a demo and chat with one of our experts to learn more.
Surveillance audits usually happen every year after certification, to check your management system is still working. A recertification audit happens every three years and takes a fuller look at the whole system.
Yes. Plan and run internal audits in the de.iterate Audit Centre alongside your external ones. The platform can even draft the internal audit report for you to review, edit and approve.
In de.iterate, corrective actions have their own register, linked to the findings, and the that raised them. Each one has an owner and is tracked through to closure.
Through the de.iterate Auditor Portal, your auditor gets their own login to review your documents, controls and evidence. You can also export an evidence pack for them to review offline.
Yes. Custom dashboards in de.iterate show your board and management team where each audit is up to and which findings are still open.
From setup to scale, every feature is designed to help your team save time, stay focused, and drive meaningful results.
de.iterate combines technology with hands-on support from experienced GRC professionals based in Australia. From onboarding through to certification, our team works with you to build momentum quickly, helping many organisations get audit-ready in less than 12 weeks and providing practical support through external audits and ongoing compliance activities.
Great compliance is not built in the two weeks before an audit. de.iterate helps you stay ready year-round with assurance tasks, checklists, live registers, reporting and a compliance calendar that keeps momentum going.
From start-ups to enterprise, de.iterate supports multiple frameworks in one system, including ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, Privacy Acts, SOC 2, DIP, Essential Eight and more. You can grow your compliance maturity without rebuilding everything from scratch.
Many tools stop at storage. de.iterate goes further by connecting your policies, controls, evidence, registers and assurance activity in context. That means your documentation is not just centralised, it is structured, linked and easier to defend.
We believe compliance should be simpler, clearer and more achievable. That is why de.iterate combines structured workflows, smart documentation, migration support and guided onboarding with a platform that is intuitive enough for teams to use every day.
de.iterate is designed for the way organisations actually work. Policies, risks, assets, incidents, suppliers, evidence, audits and reporting all sit in one integrated platform, so compliance becomes part of business as usual.
