The Process

How an EvidenceEdge engagement works

1

Onboard Client

Create Business record, configure service principal in client tenant, store credentials in Key Vault

2

Initialize Register

Create Risk Register from 58-risk default library with NIST/CSF mappings and SEC Exam Readiness matrix

3

Collect Evidence

Graph API collection for standard controls; premium collectors for Exchange, Purview, SharePoint

4

AI Evaluation

AI scores each control on grounded evidence — effectiveness, residual risk, gaps, remediation

5

Risk Scoring

Control scores roll up to risk-level scoring; management overview narrative generated

6

Report & Act

HTML/PDF reports, SEC Sweep Readiness scorecard, remediation action plan, Power BI dashboards

What Is EvidenceEdge?

More than a scan. A defensible risk management program.

EvidenceEdge turns your Microsoft 365 tenant review into a repeatable, evidence-backed workflow. Unlike Microsoft Secure Score, EvidenceEdge builds a client-specific Risk Register — mapping 58 identified risks to 64 Microsoft controls, collecting live evidence, and using AI to evaluate gaps and produce auditor-ready output.

The platform is evidence-first. Every control evaluation begins with raw Microsoft configuration data — not assumptions. AI scoring is applied to grounded summaries, reducing hallucination risk and producing rationale that is tied to actual tenant settings.

The result: management-ready, auditor-friendly output with a traceable path from raw evidence to risk score to remediation action.

The EvidenceEdge Lifecycle

From risk identification to continuous improvement

EvidenceEdge is not a point-in-time scan. It is a repeatable program with a defined lifecycle — from risk definition through monitoring and re-evaluation.

EvidenceEdge Cyber — From cyber risk identification to continuous improvement

What We Evaluate

64 controls across 11 Microsoft 365 domains

Every control is mapped to a client risk, tied to NIST/CSF framework elements, and backed by live evidence collected from Microsoft Graph, Exchange, Purview, Intune, Defender, and SharePoint.

Identity & Access 21 controls

Email Security 10 controls

Endpoint 8 controls

Data Protection 6 controls

Retention 5 controls

External Access 4 controls

Monitoring 3 controls

Cloud Apps 3 controls

Archiving 2 controls

Hold 1 control

Governance 1 control

Evidence sources: Entra ID • Conditional Access • Intune • Exchange Online • Defender for Office 365 • Defender for Endpoint • Microsoft Purview • SharePoint Online • Defender for Cloud Apps

AI-Powered Evaluation

Evidence first. AI second.

EvidenceEdge collects live Microsoft configuration data before AI is involved. Deterministic summaries are computed from raw evidence — then AI evaluates those summaries against the control's NIST/CSF framework context.

This approach keeps the AI grounded in actual tenant data, not assumptions. Every AI output includes a rationale, gap analysis, and concrete remediation guidance — scored 0–5 for control effectiveness.

Control Evaluation Statuses

OK — Control effective PARTIAL — Notable gaps GAP — Missing or weak REVIEW — Delegated evidence required

Control Scoring Scale

0 No evidence — control missing

1 Weak or partial evidence

2 Control exists but has major gaps

3 Mostly effective — minor gaps remain

4 Strong control

5 Strong — mature — well-scoped — validated

Closing the Loop

A managed, streamlined path from gap to closure

EvidenceEdge gives your MSP or any third-party provider a structured way to own remediation, submit evidence, and prove the gap is actually closed, not just marked done.

1

Assign to Provider

Each gap is assigned to the MSP or third party responsible for fixing it, with scoped portal access

2

Remediate & Submit Evidence

The provider implements the fix and submits structured evidence directly against the gap

3

Reevaluate & Close

The Microsoft control is reevaluated and the gap is closed only once the fix is verified

For the Firm

Full visibility into third-party remediation progress, no more chasing the MSP for status
Every closed gap comes with evidence, not just a verbal confirmation
Controls are reevaluated before a gap is marked closed, so closure means something
One consistent, structured process across every provider you work with

For the Provider

A clear, structured workflow for what's expected on every gap, no ambiguity
Scoped access to only the assigned remediation, not the firm's full Microsoft tenant or EvidenceEdge itself
Submit evidence once, in one place, tied directly to the specific gap
Remediation work is backed by an objective, reevaluated result the firm and its examiners can trust

SEC Exam Readiness

Cyber Sweep Readiness

EvidenceEdge includes a second operating layer that answers a different — but equally critical — question:

"If an SEC examiner asked for cybersecurity materials today, what can you produce, where is it, and what is still missing?"

The Cyber Sweep Readiness matrix covers 14 exam domains — from governance and access controls to incident response, vendor risk, training records, and AI governance. It combines system-collected evidence, platform-generated reports, and manual artifact tracking (WISP, IR plans, vendor reviews, training records) into a single readiness scorecard.

Beyond Gap Identification

One Trusted View. One Clear Path to Results.

Real visibility only matters when it leads to action.

EvidenceEdge brings leadership, compliance, and IT together around the same gaps, the same priorities, and the same evidence. Each remediation is assigned to the responsible provider, tracked through completion, and reevaluated before the issue is considered closed.

No disconnected spreadsheets No uncertainty about ownership No gap closed on opinion alone

Real evidence. Real accountability. Real peace of mind.

From discovery to verified results.

Your MSP or another third party signs into a scoped portal, sees only the gaps assigned to them, and works each one through to Verified. No access to your Microsoft tenant or the rest of EvidenceEdge.

A Managed Process, Not a Spreadsheet Export

Every gap becomes a tracked remediation record with an owner, a provider, a target date, and a status, not a line item you have to chase down yourself.

Runs Through Your Existing Providers

Your MSP or another third party remediates inside the structure you already have, no rip-and-replace, no new vendor relationship required.

Reevaluation Closes the Loop

A gap isn't marked closed because someone said so. The Microsoft control is reevaluated, and that result is what closes it.
