Audit evidence collected all the time, not once a quarter.
Audits still run on screenshots gathered the month before. Agents check your controls against SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS every day, collect the evidence from your cloud accounts, identity provider and repos as it happens, and flag drift with the fix and the owner attached. When the auditor asks, the evidence is already there.
SOC 2 CC6.1: MFA enforced for console access
Checked at 06:00. Evidence stored for the audit period
[The work behind every audit]
01The manual work
Collect
An audit is weeks of screenshots, exports and follow-ups. Drift found in March was usually introduced in January.
02The agent handoff
Evidence ready
Frontier agents check each control every day, store the evidence and route any drift to the team that owns it.
03Your team’s role
Attest
Decide which controls matter and who owns them. Review the drift, approve the fix and sign off with evidence in hand.

[Example scenario]
A 90-person B2B SaaS company with 6 AWS accounts, Okta, GitHub and Jira. One compliance manager, a Type II audit window closing this quarter.
Evidence request landsSignal
The auditor asks for 40 samples across access reviews, change management and MFA, covering the last 6 months.
Agent maps the requestAgent
Matches each sample to SOC 2 controls CC6.1, CC6.2 and CC8.1 and pulls the daily evidence already stored for those dates.
38 of 40 readyAgent
Credential reports, Okta policy snapshots, merged pull requests with approvals and the linked Jira change tickets.
Flags the 2 it cannot proveAgent
Two hotfixes in May were merged without a second approver. Drafts the exception note with the post-merge review attached.
Compliance manager reviewsYour team
Checks the two exceptions with engineering, edits the note and approves the package.
Package sent, gap closedAgent
Evidence shared with the auditor. A branch protection rule is proposed so the gap cannot repeat.

[Frontier governance agents]
Agents map your controls to the systems that prove them, so compliance runs as part of operations, and audit week becomes a review instead of a scramble.
[What changes]
| Moment | Today | With frontier agents |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence collection | Screenshots in the weeks before the audit | Captured daily, stored per control |
| Finding drift | Months after it happened | The day after it happened |
| Fixing drift | A spreadsheet of open items | Routed to the owner with a proposed fix |
| Audit week | Every team pulled off their work | A review of evidence already collected |
| Multiple frameworks | The same evidence gathered twice | One check mapped to every framework it serves |
[Integrations]
[Adoption path]
The rollout follows the four phases of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework, so it fits the plan your cloud team already runs.
01Envision
Pick one framework
Start with the framework your next audit covers. Connect read-only and let agents run the checks next to your current process.
02Align
Agree control ownership
Assign an owner to each control and decide which drift agents may fix and which needs approval.
03Launch
Roll out across accounts
Add every account, identity provider and repo on the same control map and audit trail.
04Scale
Make it continuous
New accounts and services launch inside the control map. Add frameworks by mapping, not by collecting again.
