Storm Shadow

Storm Shadow is Agency's internal quality assurance layer for audit evidence — automatically validating and reviewing every evidence request before submission to auditors. Agency uses Storm Shadow to catch incomplete evidence, mismatched control mappings, and formatting issues before they become findings. Clients never see a rejected evidence submission or a preventable audit exception — Storm Shadow ensures everything Agency delivers meets auditor standards on the first pass.

Evidence submission is the moment of truth in every audit. A single rejected artifact, missing screenshot, or mismatched control mapping can delay certification by weeks. Storm Shadow eliminates that risk.

Pre-Submission Validation — Every evidence artifact Agency prepares is validated by Storm Shadow before it reaches an auditor. Completeness, accuracy, formatting, and control mapping are all verified automatically.

Control Mapping Verification — Storm Shadow confirms that every piece of evidence maps to the correct control, framework requirement, and assessment criteria. Mismatched evidence — a SOC 2 artifact submitted against an ISO 27001 control, for example — is caught and corrected before submission.

Format and Quality Checks — Auditors have specific expectations for evidence formatting: date ranges, system identifiers, configuration screenshots, log samples, and policy version control. Storm Shadow validates that every artifact meets these expectations.

Gap Detection — Storm Shadow identifies evidence gaps proactively — controls that lack supporting evidence, evidence that covers the wrong observation period, or artifacts that satisfy some but not all of a control's requirements.

Cross-Framework Evidence Optimization — When a single evidence artifact satisfies controls across multiple frameworks, Storm Shadow validates the mapping and ensures the artifact is submitted correctly for every applicable assessment.

Clients don't interact with Storm Shadow. They experience the outcome: auditors who accept evidence on the first submission, zero preventable findings, and certifications that close faster because evidence quality is never the bottleneck.
