The impact AuditBoard is having on some of the largest enterprises in the world is evident across G2 reviews. Teams consistently describe spending less time on manual tasks and more time on higher-value, strategic work.

2.) A central source of truth across GRC teams

Customers describe using AuditBoard to centralize documentation into a single source of truth to reduce risk siloes and defend critical risk areas. Rather than working in disconnected tools, teams reference using the platform to support multiple GRC workflows in one place.

As one G2 reviewer, Katelynn M., explains: “We use AuditBoard across many different teams and many different modules. AuditBoard has helped streamline our processes. We use it to complete risk assessments, create issues based on this information, send documentation requests, complete controls, and assess different systems.”

Another reviewer, Keather W., points to coordination across defense lines: “AuditBoard improves risk transparency and connectivity among our defense lines, streamlining controls with AI to reduce manual work, allowing focus on critical risk areas.”

3.) Built-in AI that supports how teams work

Customers also point to AuditBoard’s AI capabilities as a differentiator, particularly for navigating controls, automating workflows, and reviewing documentation more efficiently.

One G2 reviewer, Samuel W., noted, “The control library is very intuitive and allows navigation ease. There is also exciting workflow automation and AI functionality."

Another reviewer, Jackie O., shared how AI improves review quality and speed: “I truly appreciate AuditBoard's integration with AI, which significantly enhances the efficiency of substantive reviews of workpapers. This feature streamlines my workflow and allows for more accurate and timely completion of tasks."

4.) A platform built for enterprise-wide scale

Beyond individual features, GRC leaders emphasize the importance of a platform that performs well across teams and scales with the organization.

As one anonymous G2 reviewer put it: “Performance, performance, performance! AuditBoard is incredibly fast and intuitive. From implementation to day-to-day use, AuditBoard is seamless [and] our team was able to get up and running within a month.”
