VERITY GOVERN · Auditor Liaison

One point of contact who owns the audit, not five people scrambling.

A managed service that handles the back-and-forth during SOC 2, HIPAA, and CMMC audits — evidence requests, auditor questions, and status tracking — so your team keeps working instead of chasing an audit.

Service Overview

What Managed Auditor Liaison Includes

Audits fail internal deadlines less often because a control is missing and more often because no single person owns the back-and-forth: chasing down the right screenshot, tracking which evidence requests are outstanding, and translating an auditor’s technical question into something the right internal person can actually answer. Managed Auditor Liaison puts a single, named point of contact between your organization and your independent auditor for the duration of the audit cycle.

The liaison tracks every evidence request to closure, coordinates internal stakeholders for auditor interviews, manages the audit timeline against your certification deadline, and escalates blockers before they become late findings. This service is commonly paired with Framework Program Building, but is also available standalone for organizations with an existing program that just need dedicated audit-cycle support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the liaison an employee of our company or of the auditing firm?
Neither — the liaison is an Armorstack representative acting on your behalf, coordinating between your internal team and your independent auditor or assessor.
Does this replace our internal compliance owner?
No. The liaison works alongside your internal owner (or VERITY Bridge vCISO/vCIO if you have one), handling the operational coordination load so your internal owner isn’t buried in logistics during the audit window.
Is this available for a single audit cycle, or only as an ongoing subscription?
Both. The service is commonly engaged per audit cycle (typically 2-4 months of active support) or as an ongoing monthly retainer for organizations with recurring or overlapping audit cycles.
