Native, not add-on
Compliance lives inside the workflow.
Most ERPs treat compliance as a configuration layer you stand up after go-live, then maintain forever. Cortrova threads compliance gates into the production workflow itself - each step natively triggers the framework checks that govern it, and the evidence accumulates automatically.
- ✓ Clauses mapped to the features that satisfy them - not to a separate document store.
- ✓ The audit trail builds itself as operators do their work.
- ✓ Findings route straight to CAPA, so remediation is tracked end to end.
- ✓ Deploy cloud, on-premises, or fully air-gapped to match your data boundary.
The frameworks
Ten frameworks, handled natively.
From aerospace and automotive quality to export controls, cybersecurity, and environmental regulation - the standards regulated manufacturers live under, built into the platform you run every day.
Quality Management
ISO 9001:2015
Risk-based thinking, document and record control, CAPA, and management review are wired into the QMS module - the standard your auditors trace, not a binder you maintain on the side.
Environmental Management
ISO 14001:2015
Environmental aspects, compliance obligations, monitoring, ESG and carbon tracking run inside the platform so your EMS evidence accumulates as operations happen.
Aerospace Quality
AS9100 Rev D
Configuration management, product safety, counterfeit-part prevention, and First Article Inspection per AS9102 are built into the production and quality flow.
Automotive Quality
IATF 16949
PPAP across all 18 elements, APQP phase-gates, FMEA, SPC, MSA, control plans and 8D - the full automotive core-tools set, native to the platform.
Electronic Records
FDA 21 CFR Part 11
Electronic records and signatures, ALCOA principles, tamper-evident audit trails, and enforced user authentication on every governed record.
Export Controls
ITAR (22 CFR 120-130)
Controlled-document access, export-license tracking, and foreign-person screening - enforced at the data boundary, with air-gapped deployment available.
Cybersecurity
CMMC 2.0 Level 2
All 110 controls - access control, audit logging, incident response, and security configuration management - mapped to platform capabilities and evidence.
Workplace Safety
OSHA
Process Safety Management, incident reporting, hazard communication, PPE tracking, and permit-to-work run inside the Safety / EHS module.
Environmental Compliance
EPA
Emissions reporting, waste manifests, water-discharge tracking, and spill prevention - recorded against the operations that generate them.
Federal Acquisition
FAR / DFARS
Federal Acquisition Regulation and Defense supplement requirements - including DCAA-compliant cost accounting in Finance - supported for government and defense work.
Compliance, threaded
Five production steps. Thirteen gates. Zero extra forms.
A representative aerospace job: every step an operator completes natively fires the framework checks that govern it. Nobody fills out a compliance form - the platform records the evidence as the work happens.

Compliance intelligence
The AI Mock Auditor. Practice mode for your audit.
Practice against any framework, any clause, any time. The persona is a rigorous registrar; the questions are the same ones DCMA, FAA, FDA, and ISO assessors ask; and findings classify exactly the way a real audit classifies them. Run it weekly and walk into the surveillance audit confident.
Sample session
| Framework | ISO 9001:2015 |
|---|---|
| Subject | Production controls |
| Duration | 42 minutes |
| Coverage | 12 of 12 questions |
- ✓ $50K to $200K saved on the consultant prep manufacturers typically pay before an audit.
- ✓ Findings auto-route to CAPA, so every gap has an owner and a closure date.
- ✓ Practice on demand against AS9100, ISO 9001/14001, IATF 16949, FDA, CMMC and more.
- ✓ Findings classify like the real thing - minor, major, and process observations.
Where frameworks meet modules
Ten frameworks across the modules that carry them.
Each framework's obligations land in the modules that do the work - quality, safety, maintenance, production, procurement, documents, and finance. Compliance isn't a department; it's everywhere the work is.
FAQ
Compliance questions, answered.
Which compliance frameworks does Cortrova support?
ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, AS9100 Rev D, IATF 16949, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ITAR (22 CFR 120-130), CMMC 2.0 Level 2, OSHA, EPA, and FAR/DFARS - including DCAA-compliant cost accounting. Each one is a native capability of the platform rather than a separate add-on product.
What does "woven into the workflow, not bolted on" actually mean?
Most ERPs treat compliance as a configuration layer you build after the fact. Cortrova threads each framework's clauses into the production features that handle them, so an operator completing a step natively triggers the checks that govern it. The audit trail builds itself as work happens - there is no separate compliance system to keep in sync.
What is the AI Mock Auditor?
A practice-mode auditor that runs registrar-style sessions against any framework, clause, or process - any time you want. The persona is a rigorous registrar, the questions are the ones DCMA, FAA, FDA, and ISO assessors actually ask, and findings are classified the same way (minor/major non-conformance, observations). Run it weekly and walk into the real audit with no surprises.
How does the Mock Auditor save on audit prep?
Companies typically spend $50K to $200K on external consultants to prepare for certification and surveillance audits. Running the Mock Auditor internally lets your team find and close gaps on their own schedule, and every finding auto-routes to CAPA - so remediation is tracked, not lost in a spreadsheet.
Does Cortrova handle ITAR and air-gapped data boundaries?
Yes. Cortrova is ITAR-aware with controlled-document access, export-license tracking, and foreign-person screening, and it deploys in the cloud, on-premises, or fully air-gapped to match your data-boundary constraints. It is CMMC 2.0 Level 2 ready, covering all 110 controls.
Is Cortrova itself certified?
Cortrova is built to make your certifications - AS9100, ISO 9001/14001, IATF 16949, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, CMMC 2.0 and the rest - straightforward to achieve and defend. We will walk your quality and compliance leads through exactly how each framework maps to platform features during a tailored demo.
