Sealed evidence. Chain of custody. Everything traceable.
Internal audit needs to walk through evidence with confidence — and prove the trail. Talarity gives you immutable, time-stamped evidence packages and full traceability from finding to remediation to closure.
Sound familiar?
Evidence is scattered across SharePoint folders, ticketing tools, and inboxes — chain of custody is a fiction.
Test work-papers are word documents with screenshots that age out.
Findings get fixed but you can't always prove the fix — or when it happened.
Co-sourcing with external auditors means handing over zips of files via insecure channels.
Defending the opinion starts with the trail.
Internal audit lives by one test: can you defend the opinion. That depends on the evidence behind it — and at most organizations, that evidence is scattered across SharePoint folders, ticketing tools, screenshots embedded in Word documents, and inboxes that have been forwarded twice. The work-papers age out. The findings get fixed. But proving when, by whom, and with what evidence often means reconstructing a timeline from messages.
The IIA standards demand chain of custody, traceability from finding to remediation to closure, and an audit trail that doesn't depend on a single person's memory. The tools most teams actually use give you none of that. They give you a place to record the finding. The trail is up to you.
Talarity is built for the way internal audit needs to defend its work. Immutable, time-stamped evidence packages. Findings linked to controls, controls linked to risks, remediations linked back to the original evidence. Co-sourcing with external auditors happens through a workspace they have scoped access to — not a zip file dropped in a shared drive.
The capabilities, in your context.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Compliance
Hand the external auditor a sealed, time-stamped evidence package per engagement — no zips, no shared folders, no chain-of-custody gaps.
Explore ComplianceGovernance
Trace every finding back to the owning control, the test that produced it, and the testers who signed off — chain of custody by construction.
Explore GovernanceRisk
Tie risk assessments and management's risk acceptances to the audit work program so test scope and risk coverage stay aligned.
Explore RiskAdd-on modules
Attach to GRC Professional or Enterprise Governance — same flat price on either.
Third-Party Risk Management
Test third-party controls and SOC 2 reports alongside internal controls so vendor-driven findings get the same scrutiny as in-scope systems.
AI Insights
Generate first-pass walkthrough narratives and test memos from the underlying evidence so senior reviewers can focus on judgement work.

- Compliance·9 min readSave a security package once, send it on demandA prospect's security team asks for your SOC 2, your pen test, and your current security policies — again. Package Templates save that set as a reusable definition of pinned items plus rules like 'every current SOC 2 report', resolve it fresh each time you send, and hand it over as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy with a record of who received what.
- Compliance·6 min readSystem Configuration — turn a completed assessment into enforceable, drift-tracked baselinesEvery safeguard you scored in an assessment becomes an enforceable expected value. Talarity re-checks the observed state, flags drift, opens remediation automatically, and lets you attach evidence per control — so your controls stay implemented, not just documented once.
- Governance·6 min readExport and verify your audit trail for SOC 2Pull your full audit trail as a SOC 2 evidence file in any format, then prove it wasn't altered with a one-click tamper-evidence check — backed by a per-row hash chain and a Merkle root your auditor can re-verify offline.
- Governance·6 min readCatch toxic access combinations with Segregation of DutiesDefine the pairs of duties no single person should hold — approve and disburse, accept a risk and own its control — and Talarity flags every user who holds both, with ten framework-mapped starter rules out of the box.
