SOP Audit Software

Audit SOPs for the gaps people only find during the incident.

SOP Live reads procedures like an experienced reviewer: it flags missing contacts, vague instructions, dead numbers, missing forms, inconsistent timings, conflicting SOPs, and the exact language that needs fixing.

What gets checked

An SOP audit should go beyond spelling and formatting.

The client pain is practical: a media holding statement with no template, an inventory with no form, a debrief instruction with no owner, or a contact matrix with no phone number.

Missing contact

No phone number for the person named

Notify the Director of Security, GM, Duty Manager, and Legal Counsel.
Missing form

The SOP says to use a form that does not exist

Complete the belongings inventory and store it in the designated location.
Vague instruction

The step cannot be followed consistently

Conduct a post-incident debrief with all key personnel involved.
SOP conflict

Related procedures disagree

One SOP requires a 48-hour debrief. Another requires 24 hours for comparable trauma events.
Audit output

Turn review comments into owner-ready work.

A useful SOP audit should not just say "needs update." It should show the step, severity, reason, suggested fix, owner, and resolution status.

Why SOP audits matter

The audit is not the end. It is the start of maintenance.

01

Assign ownership

Every unresolved finding should have someone responsible for accepting, rejecting, or rewriting the fix.

02

Track resolution

Open flags, accepted fixes, rejected fixes, and pending reviews become part of the audit trail.

03

Report monthly

Leadership can see which SOPs were checked, updated, adapted, and still need attention.
