AuditBoard (now Optro) review
A broad GRC workspace for multi-framework teams that need connected evidence, controls, and risk workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
AuditBoard, now operating under the Optro brand, is a cloud-based governance, risk, and compliance platform for enterprise organizations. It brings audit, risk, information security, and compliance workflows into one system, with support for multi-framework compliance management, control mapping, evidence collection, assessments, testing, monitoring, issue tracking, reporting, and third-party risk workflows. It is a strong fit for teams managing connected compliance programs across ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, and HIPAA. Optro identifies the product as founded in 2014 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
Its main advantage is breadth across the compliance lifecycle. Teams can map controls and frameworks, collect evidence automatically, assess and test controls, monitor compliance continuously, track issues and exceptions, and manage remediation. Third-party risk workflows extend the platform beyond internal controls. The published integration set also supports a wide operating environment, including AWS and Azure for cloud infrastructure; Jira, ServiceNow, and Azure DevOps for work management; Snowflake, Power BI, and Tableau for data and reporting; and Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Drive, Microsoft Office, Workday, Paylocity, and Oracle NetSuite. The web and API platforms make it suited to organizations that need connected systems rather than an isolated compliance workspace.
Pricing is handled through contact with sales, so teams should evaluate the platform around their framework coverage, integration requirements, and workflow scope. AuditBoard, now Optro, is not open source, and its broad feature set is oriented toward enterprise compliance programs rather than narrow, single-purpose control tracking. Choose it when multi-framework mapping, automated evidence collection, continuous monitoring, remediation, reporting, and third-party risk belong in one program. Organizations seeking a smaller standalone tool, an open-source option, or a deployment model beyond web and API should consider alternatives.
