The problem
Cyber Essentials evidence shouldn't live in 12 different places.
Most SMEs end up tracking Cyber Essentials evidence across email threads, spreadsheets, shared drives, screenshots and chat messages. When the assessor asks for proof, it takes days to find. Evaud brings it all into one organised workspace.
In three steps
How Evaud works
Build your evidence library
Upload documents, screenshots and policies into a secure workspace organised by Cyber Essentials control area.
Link evidence to controls
Tag each item against the five Cyber Essentials controls and your assets so you can see what is covered and what is missing.
Share with assessors
Invite assessors with read-only access. They can view approved evidence and leave comments, without touching your internal records.
Features
Everything you need to run Cyber Essentials evidence
Secure evidence vault

Why Evaud
Better than spreadsheets and shared drives
Evaud is not a replacement for certification bodies, consultants, endpoint protection, SIEM or vulnerability scanners. It is an evidence and readiness workspace that beats ad-hoc tools for organising Cyber Essentials material.
