Common Questions
Why shouldn't I use spreadsheets for compliance?
Spreadsheets lack audit trails, version control, access controls, and automated workflows essential for compliance. They become unmanageable as your program scales, prone to errors, and fail during audits when you can't prove who made changes and when. Auditors specifically flag spreadsheet-based compliance as a risk.
What's wrong with my existing compliance spreadsheet?
Common issues include: no audit trail (who changed what, when), version confusion (which file is current), access control gaps (sensitive data exposure), manual calculations (error-prone), no task management (missed deadlines), and poor scalability. These create audit findings and operational risks.
How much time does FortisEU save vs spreadsheets?
Impact varies by program maturity, but teams typically reduce manual overhead by centralizing evidence, workflows, and exports in one system instead of maintaining multiple spreadsheet versions.
