Have You Ever Thought About Audits in a Different Way?

Most companies view audits as necessary but restrictive, seeing them as part of a law enforcement system. Audit firms and government institutions are often perceived as regulatory agencies to be feared. This dynamic forces organizations to either stay compliant and ready for audits at any time, or scramble to meet standards at the last minute. Such last-minute efforts often fuel the growth of shadow IT—unregulated parts of the IT landscape that evade both company policies and auditors.

But passing an audit doesn’t guarantee operational excellence. A company can still face higher IT costs, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and missed revenue opportunities.

How can we change this approach to audits? The key lies in transforming audits into continuous, value-driven processes. By standardizing software that integrates with infrastructure, companies can automatically detect inconsistencies and recommend remediations—no manual scanning required. A system that generates real-time reports for auditors can even incentivize companies to maintain a state of near-perfect compliance.

Data storage, particularly unstructured data storage, is a critical component of IT audits. While structured data is relatively easy to manage, unstructured data—spread across emails, documents, and other formats—poses a significant challenge. Analyzing vast amounts of unstructured data quickly is one of the hardest tasks auditors face. Smartstorify changes the game by revolutionizing how companies handle unstructured data audits, turning the process from a burden into a valuable asset.
