Compliance Guide

Create compliance checklists, policies, risk registers, and audit notes. Match them to standard frameworks and export review-ready documents.

Compliance document types

Six kinds of compliance documents you can create and manage.

Compliance Checklists

Create control checklists that match specific frameworks. Each item includes the control goal, proof needed, and status fields for review.

Organizational Policies

Draft policies with proper structure — purpose, scope, responsibilities, procedures, and enforcement. The AI follows policy writing conventions and aligns to your selected framework.

Risk Registers

Create risk registers with risk descriptions, likelihood and impact ratings, existing controls, residual risk levels, and recommended mitigations. Structured for ongoing risk management.

Audit Working Papers

Create audit notes with test steps, findings, proof references, and conclusions. The layout works for internal teams and outside reviewers.

Framework Alignment

Map your documentation to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other frameworks. The AI automatically structures outputs around the controls and requirements of your selected standard.

Export & Audit Trail

Export compliance documents as PDF with a clean layout. Each export includes metadata, timestamps, and version history for later review.

How It Works

Five steps from choosing a document type to a review-ready result.

1
Select Document Type

Choose from compliance checklists, policies, risk registers, or audit working papers. Each type loads a tailored form with fields specific to that document category.

2
Choose Framework

Select the compliance framework to align against — SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or others. The framework determines the control structure and terminology used in the output.

3
AI creates the first draft

The AI creates a full document with framework-aligned controls, clear sections, and review-friendly wording.

4
Assign owners and proof

Assign control owners, link proof files, set review dates, and update status fields. That turns the document into something your team can actively use.

5
Export for review

Export the full document as a formatted PDF for auditors or internal review. The export includes metadata, owner assignments, and proof references.

Pro Tip
Start with a standard framework, then customize controls to match your organization. It is faster to remove or modify controls from a complete framework-aligned checklist than to build one from scratch.
Process Tip
Set the review cadence when you create the document, not after. Embedding review dates and owner assignments from the start keeps compliance documentation active and prevents it from going stale.

Gixo supports SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST CSF, and other common compliance frameworks. Each framework shapes the control structure, terminology, and section organization of the generated document.
