Audits alignment with regulatory standards (ASQA, AQF, Section 508/ADA), data privacy controls, audit trail integrity, certification expiry tracking, and incident exception workflows.

  • 5-Point Friction Rating System: Quantitative scoring from 1 (Severe Friction) to 5 (Optimised Flow) across 20 key operational checkpoints.
  • Evidence & Action Mapping: Dedicated fields to document system logs, operational evidence, required remediation steps, and priority levels (High, Medium, Low).
  • Prioritisation Matrix: Directly maps identified friction points into Tier 1 (configuration fixes), Tier 2 (integration rebuilds), and Tier 3 (platform migrations).
