From Spreadsheets to Audit-Ready: Automating Evidence Collection
A step-by-step walkthrough of how Protexa replaces manual evidence gathering with automated control mapping — covering SRA workflows, BAA tracking, and one-click audit packet assembly for HIPAA compliance teams.
About this guide
Most healthcare compliance teams are managing HIPAA obligations with tools that were never designed for compliance work — spreadsheets, shared drives, and email threads. When an auditor arrives, the result is days of frantic document assembly, guesswork about control coverage, and evidence that may not map to the right specifications.
This guide walks through the complete evidence collection workflow — from running a NIST 800-66-aligned SRA to assembling a formatted audit pack — entirely inside the platform. No spreadsheets. No email threads. No last-minute scramble.
