With the need for governance and information security becoming ever more prominent, audit reports, findings, actions, certifications and risk and compliance management are now key to Homes England. As a review cycle, these areas are becoming a central feature and priority, with continual assessments allow us to achieve certifications such as ISO27001 and Gov Assure as we follow the guidance of the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF)\r \r Currently, we are managing the above manually, or through a series of separately managed stakeholder products. This is increasing the effort for the digital assurance team within the OCDDO. \r \r We are looking for a product that allows us to centralise all key findings and documents for certifications and audits, as well as something that will support automation in this area. Reporting is currently manual, and again, we would like something that can provide a dashboard/clear overview of our governance/audit findings, benchmarking us against the CAF, supporting us for future inspections.
