Standards and Coverage Note
Aura supports quality and compliance workflows such as audit planning, assessment management, document control, training records, CAPA tracking, supplier audits, customer audits, location audits, task management, meeting actions, dashboards, reports, and audit evidence management.
Aura does not act as a certification body and does not directly certify organizations against ISO, IATF, GMP, healthcare, laboratory, construction, financial, or retail standards. Certification and compliance depend on each organization’s controls, documentation, implementation, audit readiness, and review by accredited or authorized bodies.
Standards and regulatory references should be used as guidance for configuring Aura workflows based on each customer’s industry, geography, products, services, and compliance scope.
