What AuditBoard (Optro) Does

AuditBoard, rebranded as Optro in March 2026, is the leading enterprise GRC platform focused on audit management, internal controls, and risk oversight. Founded as SOXHUB in 2014 by Daniel Kim and Jay Lee (both former Big Four auditors), the platform has evolved into a full suite of modules including CrossComply (compliance), SOXHUB (SOX controls), OpsAudit (operational audit), and RiskOversight (enterprise risk management).

Acquired by Hg Capital for over $3 billion in 2024, Optro serves more than 2,000 enterprises including over half the Fortune 500 and seven of the Fortune 10. The platform was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for GRC Tools and has earned recognition in G2's 2026 Best Software Awards across eight categories. ARR surpassed $300M in 2025.

With 1,585+ G2 reviews, Optro is among the most established players in the GRC market. The platform supports 30+ frameworks with 200+ integrations, though its enterprise-focused pricing ($30K-$150K/yr) puts it out of reach for smaller organizations.
