Automated SOC2 evidence collection
Most SOC2 tools automate the checks — access reviews, policy attestations, control mapping. They don't automate the evidence itself. Teams still lose 40–80 hours per audit cycle screenshotting admin consoles and exporting access lists by hand. Chasa already runs this same evidence-automation model in production for accounts receivable (see our SOX AR evidence automation). We're building the same discipline for SOC2 next — this page describes what's coming, not what's shipped.
SOC2 automation tools don't automate evidence
A typical SOC2 compliance platform is good at telling you whether a control is in place: is MFA enforced, is the access review policy documented, is the vendor list current. What it usually can't do is go collect the underlying proof an auditor actually wants to see — the screenshot of the MFA setting, the export of who has admin access this quarter, the log showing an offboarded employee lost access within 24 hours.
- Manual evidence gathering, every cycle: Type II observation periods and annual surveillance audits both require fresh proof, not last year's screenshots.
- Evidence goes stale fast: employees join and leave, permissions change, and a screenshot from six weeks ago may no longer reflect reality by the time the auditor asks for it.
- It falls on whoever is least busy: at small and mid-size companies, evidence collection usually lands on a founder, ops lead, or engineer pulled off their real job for a week.
- The checks pass, the evidence still has to be assembled: a green checkmark in your compliance dashboard doesn't produce the exportable artifact an auditor will actually accept.
What we're building next
Roadmap only — none of this is available in Chasa today. See our full security and compliance roadmap for what's live vs. planned.
- Connect the systems your evidence lives in: planned connectors for Microsoft Entra ID, GitHub, Slack, and Google Workspace, so evidence is pulled from source instead of screenshotted by hand.
- Auto-collect access and permission evidence: who has access to what, and since when, exported on a schedule instead of reconstructed manually before each audit.
- Generate audit-ready evidence packages: timestamped, exportable evidence bundles mapped to SOC2 trust service criteria, ready to hand to your auditor.
- Human-in-the-loop, same as our AR product: Chasa never auto-submits evidence to an auditor without a human reviewing it first — the same review-before-send principle we use for invoice chases today.
Planned integrations
These are integrations on our roadmap, not integrations Chasa currently supports.
Why start with Chasa
Chasa isn't a general compliance platform bolting evidence automation on as a feature — evidence automation is the core idea the product was built around, first applied to accounts receivable. Our SOX AR evidence automation and audit-ready workflows are live today: timestamped chase history, human-approval logs, and HMAC-signed webhook records that auditors already accept. SOC2 evidence automation extends that same model to your broader SaaS stack. Read the full picture on our Trust Center, or see why we think checks-only tools miss the point in why evidence automation.
