Minimise first
Do not send transaction data when the task can be completed without it.
SECURITY BY DATA MINIMISATION
Millions of GL lines. Zero sent to the AI.
The safest ledger upload is the one that never happens. Audit Scoot runs tests against the local engagement file and limits AI-assisted query generation to schema metadata and the auditor's question.
EXACT DATA FLOW
What stays local, what can transit, and why.
Audit Scoot does not rely on a vague “secure AI” promise. The boundary is defined by data class.
Journal rows, balances, amounts and master-data values
They stay inside the local engagement file and are queried on the auditor's machine.
Column metadata, standard categories and your typed question
The AI proposes a query from schema context. The query is reviewed and executes locally against the ledger.
Licence fingerprint
Irreversible. Cannot be turned back into data.
DIRECT AI UPLOAD VS AUDIT SCOOT
The difference is the data exposed to the model context.

This comparison describes architecture and data scope. It is not a numerical claim that any product is “1,000× safer”.
Execute read-only
Generated procedures inspect the local engagement population rather than modifying it.
Keep review human
Custom analyses are drafts for professional review, not autonomous audit conclusions.
Export the trace
Evidence remains inspectable after the test instead of disappearing into a chat response.
SECURITY FAQ
Questions an audit firm should ask.
Does the AI receive journal entries?
No. Journal rows, balances, amounts and master-data values stay in the local engagement file. AI-assisted query generation receives column metadata, standard categories and the operator-controlled question.
Where does the generated query run?
Locally against the engagement file. The auditor can inspect the generated procedure and remains responsible for reviewing its suitability and results.
Is Audit Scoot ISO 27001 or SOC 2 certified?
No current certification is claimed. The core risk reduction comes from data minimisation: the service does not need the ledger population to generate or execute tests.
Does this make every AI use risk-free?
No system is risk-free. Audit Scoot materially reduces exposure by removing transaction data from the AI request, bounding the remaining metadata, using read-only local execution and keeping professional review explicit.
How does this support audit documentation?
Parameters, queries, versions, timestamps and results can contribute to documentation prepared under the applicable auditing standards. Audit Scoot does not certify compliance or replace professional judgement.
