Software vendor audits and ISO 19770 SAM certifications strike fear into IT teams because the evidence is scattered across emails, spreadsheets and shared drives. The result: weeks of panic, true-up bills, and delayed certifications.

Without a structured workflow, audit preparation is a recurring fire-drill that consumes 200+ hours per cycle and still produces incomplete evidence.

Utilyx models the compliance audit as an executable workflow — preparation, collection, analysis, remediation, and audit-ready reporting — so every audit becomes a one-click exercise.

• Audit preparation: the IT manager defines the audit scope (titles, sites, period) and the AI copilot assembles the required evidence checklist based on ISO 19770 controls.

• Data collection: the workflow pulls data from the license catalog, discovery results and contracts — automatically — with the copilot flagging missing evidence.

• Analysis: the AI cross-checks installed vs licensed, validates entitlement proofs, and identifies compliance gaps with severity scoring.

• Gap identification: each gap is recorded with root cause, affected titles, financial exposure and remediation owner.

• Remediation plan: the workflow assigns remediation tasks (purchase, uninstall, reallocate) with deadlines and tracks completion to closure.

• PDF audit report: usePDF generates an audit report aligned with ISO 19770 — scope, evidence, gaps, remediation — for the auditor or regulator, in 7 languages.

• Archiving: useArchive retains every piece of evidence and the final report in a tamper-evident archive for the regulator.

Teams using Utilyx cut audit preparation from 200+ hours to under 10, eliminate true-up surprises (gaps are surfaced continuously, not at audit time), and pass ISO 19770 certifications on the first attempt.

The ITAM copilot builds the audit workflow from a plain-language description — no audit consultant required, at 70% lower TCO than legacy SAM tools.
