Our Framework

The EDGE Framework

AUTOFYEDGE engagement follows the same four-stage framework - regardless of sector or standard. We design automation and AI-driven systems that hold up under audit, not just in a demo.

E
Stage 01

Evidence Mapping

We diagnose your actual exposure against the specific standard that governs you — a scored gap assessment, not a generic checklist.

Regulatory workshop

We identify exactly which standards, instruments, and clauses apply to your organisation — not a generic AI framework.

Scored gap assessment

Every control area is scored against current evidence on file, not assumptions about what's "probably fine."

Evidence register

A living index of what an auditor will ask for, and exactly where it currently lives — or doesn't.

D
Stage 02

Design for Compliance

Automation and AI workflows are designed against those control requirements from the outset, not retrofitted after a finding.

Control-first architecture

Every workflow is built against the control requirements surfaced in Evidence Mapping, before a line of automation ships.

Human-in-the-loop points

Decision points your standard requires a human to review are flagged and built into the workflow, not automated away.

Change-impact mapping

Every new automation is checked against each clause it touches before it goes live — not discovered at the next audit.

G
Stage 03

Governed Automation

Every deployment ships with data handling, explainability, and disclosure controls built in — ready for the Privacy Act's ADM transparency rules.

Data handling controls

Storage, access, and retention rules aligned to the Privacy Act and any sector-specific requirements.

Explainability by default

Every AI-assisted decision produces a plain-language rationale an auditor — or a client — can actually read.

Disclosure-ready

Automated decision-making disclosures are pre-built to meet the Privacy Act's ADM transparency deadline of 10 December 2026.

E
Stage 04

Execution & Assurance

An ongoing service that keeps your evidence and monitoring current as standards and audit cycles change.

Live evidence dashboard

Your evidence register updates as your systems run, so you're never scrambling in the week before an audit.

Standards-change monitoring

We track amendments to the standards governing you and flag exactly what needs to change, before it becomes a finding.

Quarterly assurance review

A structured check-in ahead of every audit cycle, so nothing is left to be discovered on the day.

How an Engagement Runs

From diagnostic to ongoing assurance

01

Regulatory Risk Diagnostic

A short, no-obligation call to confirm the standard governing you and where a sprint would focus.

02

Evidence & Automation Sprint

A fixed-scope, typically 4–6 week engagement covering Evidence Mapping through Governed Automation.

03

Assurance Retainer

An optional ongoing service that keeps Execution & Assurance running between audit cycles.
