A shorter, clearer menu
With a focus active, the menu is reduced to Your path, what your framework asks for and More. Each module explains in one sentence what you need, and the list starts from what is yours.
Focus mode · New in Audexa 1.7
Work through your framework step by step, without getting lost in everything else.
Choose whether to focus on NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001 or any other framework, and Audexa shows you only what it asks of you, with a single next step. When you answer the audit, it suggests answers with their source and checks consistency before you submit. You always decide.
- Your path in five phases
- Exact reference for each question
- Suggested answers, never automatic
5 phases in Your path: measure, fix, document, prove and maintain
1 next step at a time, with the reason for it and how long it takes
3 steps in the guided tour that shows you how it works the first time
All plans include the Focused view with one framework, Free included
Why Focus mode
A complete GRC platform can overwhelm someone who only needs to meet NIS2.
Most teams start with one specific standard and little time. Focus mode moves what your framework doesn't ask for out of the way, without deleting anything: everything else stays one click away and the full view comes back with a switch.
Words that make sense
Gap, control or evidence come with a one-line explanation on hover, and the first time a three-step guided tour shows how it works.
A view for each person
People who don't administer the account start in the Focused view; the Owner and the Administrator, in the full view. The organization sets its team's default view.
What's included
From knowing what your framework asks for to arriving at the audit prepared.
Focus mode organizes the work and the smart audit speeds it up, always with a person deciding.
Your path
What's next and why.
Five phases
Measure, Fix, Document, Prove and Maintain, with what the phase you are in asks for and your score.
A single next step
With the reason for it and the approximate time. With “Ask…” you hand it to a teammate.
Goals and milestones
From Premium: a minimum score, a certification or an assessment with a date, and the steps worked back from that day.
Smart audit
Answer faster without losing control.
Suggested answers
In your first audit of a framework, Audexa already knows some of the answers, with their source: evidence, other audits, assets, policies and tasks.
Exact reference
The article of NIS2, DORA, the ENS, the GDPR or the EU AI Act, or the clause of ISO 27001, SOC 2 or NIST CSF. Where there is no reliable reference, none is shown.
Check before submitting
A warning flags answers that don't match your assets, vRadar or your evidence. It warns, never blocks.
From result to action
What raises your score most, first.
Points per gap
How much each gap raises your score, its effort and the quick wins, with a task on every row.
Share out questions
Assign a section or a question to a teammate, who gets a notification and can see only their own.
Would you pass an external audit today?
From Premium, each control comes out as Ready, Needs evidence or Needs work, with a rehearsal with Aude. It is guidance, never a verdict.
Some features depend on your plan and active modules.
Smart audit
Each question with its article and a suggested answer that you decide on.
“What they ask of you” sums up the question in one line and “Explain it to me” explains it with Aude. When Audexa already has the answer, it suggests it with its source: you accept it or change it. You can stop whenever you like with “Save and continue later”.
- NIS2 and DORA references and the ENS articles checked against the official text
- What counts as evidence for each question, with an area to upload the file
- Several people can answer the same audit at the same time
- Nothing is answered or submitted on its own
Readiness
Before the auditor arrives, you know what they would ask for.
The “Would you pass an external audit today?” review picks a sample of controls the way an auditor would and tells you, for each one, whether it is ready, needs evidence or needs work. With one click you create the task or upload the evidence.
- One figure and the sample explained in one line
- Rehearsal with Aude: Aude plays the external auditor and asks you questions
- Available from Premium
- Guidance only: it doesn't replace an external audit or a certification
Your focus on the Dashboard
Your goal, your pace and what's due, in one band.
From Premium, the Your focus band on the Dashboard shows the focus score, whether you are on track for your goal and the suggested milestones. Critical items and anything due in 7 days or less are never dimmed, even if they are outside your focus.
- Notifications and weekly summary centered on your focus, except what is urgent
- Aude answers “What should I do now?” and tells you whether you are on track
- Personal goals in My focus, without changing the organization's goals
- Milestones to the Calendar on Diamond, only if you ask
How it works
Three steps to focus.
Choose your focus
It is the first step of the setup: the framework you want to meet and, if you like, a goal with a date.
Follow Your path
Audexa tells you which phase you are in and gives you a single next step. Answer the audit with the suggested answers.
Arrive prepared
Close the gaps that raise your score most first, and check whether you would pass an external audit today.

Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask us about Focus mode and smart audit.
Does Audexa answer the audit for me?
No. Audexa suggests answers with their source, flags answers that don't add up and tells you what counts as evidence, but a person accepts or changes each answer and decides when to submit.
Do I lose anything if I turn on Focus mode?
Nothing is deleted. What your framework doesn't ask for stays under “More” or behind “See all”, and the full view comes back with the switch in the header.
Is it on the Free plan?
Yes. The Focused view and Your path with one framework are on every plan. Several frameworks, goals, milestones and the readiness review are from Premium.
Where do the article references come from?
From the Audexa catalogue. Those for NIS2, DORA and the ENS articles have been checked against the official text. Where there is no reliable reference, none is shown.
Does the readiness review guarantee that I pass the audit?
No. It is guidance on what an external auditor would ask you for, never a verdict. It doesn't declare conformity or replace an audit or a certification.
