Doing What You're Supposed to Do
In governance and compliance, two big questions often get mixed up: “Am I doing what I said I would do?” and “Is what I’m doing the best thing to do?”
NAPE focuses on the first question: “ Am I doing what I said I would do?”. It uses clear and common way to check if teams are following their own rules and promises, so they can always be ready for an audit. An audit usually looks at the second question, checking if what was done is the best or correct action.
By keeping these two ideas separate, NAPE helps organizations achieve 24/7 audit readiness. It also lowers the cost of ongoing checks by automating the process, so there is no need for extra manual work each time.
With NAPE, organizations can easily show that they are doing what they promised to do.
