From request to handoff

How Teams Stay Review-Ready Between Cycles

Aurora turns one named framework request into a repeatable operating motion your team can maintain between audits, buyer reviews, and renewals.

01
Scope the exact version
Start with the SAMA Minimum Verification Controls version your reviewer or buyer already asked for so the record matches the request in front of you.
02
Reuse the controls you already trust
Map overlapping requirements to the same governed control library instead of rebuilding the program around one framework.
03
Keep proof current between cycles
Attach evidence with owners, freshness expectations, and reminders so the package stays current while the business keeps moving.
04
Capture approvals and decisions
Keep policy approvals, exceptions, and review history linked to the same record so reviewers see the operating context, not just files.
05
Hand off a clean reviewer package
Share structured access or export a scoped package with mappings, evidence context, and timestamps already intact.

Don't See Your Framework?

If a framework, regulation, or customer requirement is blocking your deal, bring it. We scope feasibility, assess overlap with your existing program, and map a rollout path, usually in one call.

Step 1
Share the requirement

Name the framework, version, and review timeline so we confirm scope before anything else.

Step 2
We assess the overlap

Your existing controls, evidence, and mappings in Aurora are compared against the new requirement to quantify what carries over.

Step 3
Get a clear answer

Leave the call with a feasibility decision, rollout timeline, and next steps. Not a follow-up form.

Common questions

SAMA Minimum Verification Controls Questions, Answered Plainly

How does this fit alongside the frameworks we already run?
Aurora maps each framework into the same governed control and evidence system, so teams expand coverage without rebuilding the entire record.
How quickly can we support the next review cycle?
Tell us about the framework version and review window you need to support. Aurora helps your team move from mapped controls to traceable proof without rebuilding the package from scratch.
What does the reviewer actually receive?
Reviewers get structured access to the mapped record, linked evidence, approvals, and point-in-time exports instead of a loose collection of attachments.
Does Aurora replace the auditor or assessor?
No. Aurora keeps the work current, traceable, and ready to share. Auditors, assessors, and regulators remain independent.

Aurora does not guarantee certification, audit outcomes, or reviewer decisions. It organizes, tracks, and shares the evidence and mappings your team maintains.
