The problem

Change is happening everywhere in your business. Almost none of it is governed.

Spreadsheets and email chains

Change requests scattered across inboxes, chat threads and shared sheets, with no single source of truth for what’s actually happening.

Audit findings you can’t explain

When an auditor asks who approved a change and why, the answer is “we think it was John,” not a record.

IT and operational change live in different worlds

Software deployments get tracked somewhere. Process, site and equipment changes usually get tracked nowhere.

No visibility into risk before it bites

Changes go live without a structured risk or impact assessment, until something breaks and everyone asks how it went unnoticed.

What it is

The governance backbone that sits underneath every change you make.

ChangeGate isn’t a project tracker and it isn’t a help desk. It’s the one place every change: business, operational or technical: becomes structured, auditable evidence: what was requested, what risk was assessed, who approved it, what was tested, and whether it actually worked.

01

Request & approve

Structured change requests, RACI ownership, and CAB voting, so nothing goes live without the right people signing off.

02

Assess & control

5x5 risk scoring, impact analysis, rollback plans and blackout calendars, the controls auditors and operators both expect.

03

Prove & learn

Evidence packs, hypercare monitoring, and post-implementation review, so every change feeds back into how the next one is judged.

Why it matters

Change control is a line item in every audit you’ll ever face.

SOC2, ISO 27001 and TISAX each examine the same thing in different language: can you show, for any change, who approved it, what was assessed, and what happened next. ChangeGate satisfies the change-control requirements auditors check for under each of these frameworks, as a byproduct of how your teams already work, not a project you scramble to assemble once a year.

SOC 2

Satisfies CC8.1 Change Management: evidenced approval, risk assessment and testing on every change.

ISO 27001

Satisfies A.8.32 Change Management: a documented, auditable trail of control, review and outcome.

TISAX

Satisfies Change & Configuration Management controls examined in automotive supply chain assessments.

Beyond business change

Built for business, operational and IT change.

Most change tools stop at business process. ChangeGate goes further with a Lite CMDB, a lightweight configuration record that links every change to the systems, sites, equipment and services it actually touches, so operational and IT teams get the same rigor as everyone else.

Lite CMDB

Link changes to systems, sites, equipment and services, without the overhead of a full CMDB rollout.

CAB voting & approvals

Change approval boards for business, operational and IT change, with a full decision trail.

5x5 risk scoring

Consistent, structured risk and impact analysis on every change, regardless of type or size.

Blackout & freeze calendars

Protect peak season, customer-mandated freezes, and critical operational windows automatically.

Rollback & test plans

Every change carries a structured test plan and a rollback plan before it’s ever approved to go live.

Hypercare monitoring

A defined post-go-live window to catch issues early, before they become incidents.

See it before it lands

A calendar of every change about to hit your business.

Most companies don’t have this view. ChangeGate maps every CAB session, SLA deadline, blackout window and change landing across every site, weeks before it happens, so operations, IT and compliance are never caught off guard by something that was always on the calendar.

04

Planning

Test steps, rollback plan and implementation window, agreed up front.

05

Execution

The change goes live, logged against the plan it was approved on.

06

Hypercare

A defined monitoring window to catch problems early.

07

PIR

Did it work? Benefits and outcome, evidenced not assumed.

08

Closure

Closed out with a complete evidence pack, ready for any auditor.

Who it’s for

Built for teams where change is constant and scrutiny is high.

One change, many systems

When a single change touches platforms, sites, suppliers and people, you need to know what it hits before it lands.

Change under external scrutiny

Where a missing approval record is an audit finding, not an inconvenience.

Multi-site and multi-entity operations

Changes that roll out across locations, legal entities or business units, tracked in one place.

Regulated or customer-mandated control

When a framework or a customer contract dictates how change must be approved and evidenced.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you buy anything.

We already use spreadsheets and email, why do we need a separate tool?+

Because none of those give you a single, structured record you can hand to an auditor or a new hire. ChangeGate replaces scattered threads with one consistent record: what changed, who approved it, what was assessed, and what happened next.

No. ChangeGate doesn’t manage incidents, service desks, or asset inventories. It’s purpose-built for change governance: the approval, risk and evidence layer that sits underneath business, operational and IT change, without the cost or complexity of a full ITSM suite.

ChangeGate satisfies the change-control requirements auditors check for under each of these frameworks. It doesn’t run your audit for you, it gives you the structured, evidenced record of approvals, risk assessment and outcomes that the change-control clause in each standard is looking for.

Yes, that’s the point. ChangeGate governs business, operational and IT change through the same lifecycle, so a warehouse process change gets the same rigor as a system deployment, instead of living in a different (or no) system.

It’s a lightweight configuration record that links each change to the systems, sites, equipment and services it touches, enough context to understand blast radius and dependencies, without the overhead of standing up a full enterprise CMDB.

Most teams are running their first changes through ChangeGate within days, not months. There’s no lengthy implementation project required to get value, configuration and workflow tuning can happen alongside live use.

No. ChangeGate isn’t for sprint planning, task assignment, or milestone tracking. It’s the governance layer that sits alongside your PM tool: the record of what was approved and controlled, not what’s being worked on day to day.

Yes. ChangeGate is built so operations, compliance and continuous improvement teams can run change governance without needing engineering support, alongside IT teams using the same system for technical change.
