Audit readiness in Assure is a composite metric driven by three factors: evidence coverage (percentage of controls with at least one approved, non-expired evidence record), control health (rolled up from task completion), and open finding count (unresolved non-conformities and observations). Each factor contributes to an overall readiness score displayed on the Assure dashboard. When evidence expires or a finding goes overdue, the score drops automatically. This gives compliance managers a single number to report to leadership and auditors — backed by drill-down detail to every underlying control and artefact.
