AuditBoard

AuditBoard is a connected risk platform that modernizes audit, risk, and compliance management for mid-market and enterprise organizations. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Cerritos, California, AuditBoard was built from the ground up as a cloud-native platform with a strong focus on user experience and ease of adoption. The company has experienced rapid growth, serving over 2,000 organizations and establishing itself as a leader in the audit management space while expanding into broader GRC capabilities. AuditBoard's platform is organized around several integrated modules: CrossComply for compliance management, OpsAudit for operational audit management, SOXHUB for SOX compliance, RiskOversight for enterprise risk management, and a newer module for IT risk management. The platform's audit-first heritage means its audit management capabilities are particularly strong, offering comprehensive workpaper management, automated testing workflows, finding and remediation tracking, and audit report generation. These capabilities are complemented by intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces and collaboration features that make audit workflows more efficient and accessible. For compliance, AuditBoard supports multiple framework management with control mapping, evidence collection, and compliance monitoring across SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and other standards. The platform's CrossComply module automates evidence requests, tracks control ownership, and provides real-time compliance dashboards. RiskOversight enables enterprise risk identification, assessment, monitoring, and reporting with configurable risk matrices and heat maps. AuditBoard's user-friendly design is a genuine competitive advantage. The platform consistently receives high marks for ease of use, with an intuitive interface that reduces training requirements and improves adoption among audit, risk, and compliance teams. The modern, visually appealing design makes it one of the most pleasant GRC platforms to work with. However, AuditBoard's heritage as an audit management tool means its risk management and broader GRC capabilities, while growing, are less comprehensive than purpose-built enterprise GRC platforms. Organizations with complex, multi-faceted GRC requirements may find that AuditBoard excels in audit and compliance but needs supplementation for advanced risk management, policy management, or third-party risk management use cases.
