Audit readiness software

Be ready for every audit, every day.

ARAIS keeps your procedures, records and audits in one place, checks them against the standards you're audited on, and shows how ready you are right now, before any auditor walks in.

How it works

One cycle, the same one every auditor follows

The four colours of the ARAIS logo are the four steps of Plan, Do, Check, Act. ARAIS supports each step, then starts the next round with what you learned.

1Plan

Know what's coming

Set up your audit types and plan every audit on a shared calendar.

  • Audit register and calendar
  • Reminders and calendar feeds
  • Readiness score for each audit
2Do

Keep records right

Hold every procedure in one library, with versions and signatures.

  • Upload by drag and drop or phone camera
  • Scans read automatically
  • Electronic signatures on approval
3Check

Find gaps first

Let AI compare your procedures with the rules, then practise.

  • AI gap analysis with citations
  • Mock audits with scored answers
  • Regulator alerts matched to you
4Act

Close the loop

Turn findings into actions with owners and due dates.

  • Findings with risk ratings
  • Observations and CAPA
  • Word and Excel reports
Features

Everything your team needs before, during and after an audit

ARAIS uses your industry's own words. Pick your industry and the standards you're audited against, and the screens, examples and audit types follow.

Procedure library

Every SOP and policy with its full version history, department permissions and signed approvals. Combine several libraries into one view.

AI gap analysis

Compares a procedure with the regulation or standard, and lists each gap with the exact clause it came from and a risk rating.

Ask ARAIS

Ask questions about your own procedures and the rules in plain language. Every answer points to its source.

Mock audits

Practise with inspector-style questions from a regulator, certification body or customer, and get scored feedback on each answer.

Readiness dashboard

A live score for the whole organisation and for each department and audit, plus what needs whose attention today.

Audit calendar

Month, week and list views, clash warnings, reminders and preparation checklists, with feeds for Outlook and Google Calendar.

Regulator watch

A weekly check of new FDA Warning Letters, matched to your own procedures, for industries the FDA regulates.

Reports

Standard Word and Excel reports of approved findings, ready to share with management or the auditor.

Works on your phone

A mobile-first app you can add to your home screen. Photograph a paper record and ARAIS reads the text for you.

Coming next: email and push alerts, filling in your own report templates, a yearly audit programme, and FDA Form 483 data.

AI you can check

AI that shows its work, and a person who signs it off

In a regulated business, an answer you can't trace back to a source is a risk. ARAIS is built so every AI result can be checked.

  • Every finding cites its clauseA citation checker confirms the quoted rule really exists before you see it.
  • People stay in chargeAI suggests; a qualified reviewer accepts or rejects each finding, and that decision is recorded.
  • Tested before it's trustedQuality is measured against a test set your QA team approves, and every AI run is kept on record.
  • You control itAI is off until an administrator switches it on, with a monthly spending limit you set.
Example · Ask ARAIS
Does our cleaning procedure say how long a cleaned machine can stay unused before it must be cleaned again?
No. SOP-PRD-014 covers how to clean and who checks it, but it gives no time limit for clean equipment left unused.Medium risk
21 CFR 211.67(b): written procedures shall include "protection of clean equipment from contamination prior to use".
SOP-PRD-014, section 6, "Release of cleaned equipment".
Security, privacy and compliance

Built to stand up in front of an auditor itself

ARAIS follows the record-keeping and privacy rules it helps you meet: 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11 and the ALCOA++ principles for trustworthy data, with privacy controls that support GDPR, HIPAA and India's DPDP Act.

Tamper-evident audit trail

Every change records who, what, when, the old and new value, and why. Each entry is linked to the one before, so any later edit breaks the chain and is caught by a daily check.

#1041 3fa9…→#1042 c27e…→#1043 81d0…

Electronic signatures

Signing asks for the meaning of the signature and a password or second-factor check, and is tied to the exact content signed.

Your data stays yours

Each organisation's data is separated inside the database itself, so one customer can never see another's, even by mistake.

Company sign-in

Sign in with Microsoft, with multi-factor sign-in, passkeys and lockout after failed attempts. Seven ready-made roles decide who can do what.

Safe uploads

Every uploaded file is scanned for malware, and approved originals are stored so they can't be overwritten.

Hosted on Microsoft Azure

Runs on Microsoft's cloud, which is independently certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and audited for SOC 2, with secrets kept in Azure Key Vault and automated checks on every software change.

Personal data kept out

Uploads that look like patient or personal data, such as dates of birth, patient numbers or national ID numbers, are blocked before they are stored or sent to AI.

Recording only with consent

Audit meetings are recorded only when everyone present has agreed. Recordings are encrypted, kept only as long as you set, then erased automatically.

Encrypted end to end

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Recordings and the AI keys you add are encrypted again with AES-256, with the key held outside the database.
