Optro

What the company sells

Optro sells the GRC Intelligence Platform, which delivers real-time insights, autonomous testing and a connected view for enterprises. Optro is a system of record powering a system of action and brings together GRC data, taxonomy, business context and stakeholders. Optro AI agents execute control tests, surface emerging threats and generate board-ready reports, with every decision logged and every action reviewable. Optro Analytics evaluates entire data populations, uses templates in workflows and enables continuous monitoring. Customers use a preloaded library of 30+ frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR. Evidence collection and risk syncing run across 200+ integrations.

Operational resilience is addressed by harmonizing enterprise, operational, third-party and IT risk with continuity planning. The GRC Intelligence Platform holds risks in one connected register, aligned to the controls, assets, third parties and audit findings. Risk management runs on the same platform as audit, compliance, cyber and third-party risk. Scenario planning, bow-tie analysis and Monte Carlo modeling are used to test potential risk events. Business continuity work covers mapping critical processes, setting RTOs and RPOs, building continuity plans and testing them. ERM, ORM and scenario planning are combined in one solution. Optro AI and AI Risk Guidance generate a tailored risk library from a short set of organizational inputs, with details on likelihood, impact, mitigation strategies and suggested owners.

For audit teams, the entire audit lifecycle is managed in one place, with every conclusion traceable to its evidence. Intelligent staffing recommendations align team skills to audit work across multiple projects. Audit teams can test complete data sets and surface exceptions between audits. OpsAudit centralizes requests, documentation, testing and reporting in one system, with configurable role-based workflows at each step. Optro provides 150+ out-of-the-box integrations with systems including HRIS, CRM and accounting platforms.

Controls management covers multiple financial and compliance frameworks, including SOX, FDICIA, MAR, J-SOX and the UK Corporate Governance code. Controls Management supports continuous control testing. Optro AI automates documentation such as narratives and flowcharts and streamlines fieldwork tasks like sample selection, evidence validation and tickmarking audit evidence.

On the security side, risks, assets, vulnerabilities and reporting are managed in one platform. Risk gaps are identified by AI and unknown assets are surfaced through automated attack surface discovery. Optro finds the domains and IPs missed in an inventory, and the vulnerabilities attached to them. Vulnerability monitoring syncs findings from a scanner to the matching IT systems in Optro. Teams can choose to mitigate, monitor, defer, avoid or accept new risks. Agents collect evidence, draft controls and test effectiveness continuously across SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST and other security frameworks. Agents tier vendors, collect due diligence and pre-fill questionnaires. Automated security questionnaires use compliance data and a knowledge library to respond to customer questions. A separate workspace lets external audit teams collaborate on evidence requests while data restrictions are maintained.

The compliance solution centralizes regulatory obligations, policies, risks and controls. It includes AI-driven regulatory alerts, obligation mapping across enterprise-wide risks, controls, policies and issues, and impact assessment workflows. Optro provides a centralized hub that maps an AI inventory to ISO 42001 compliance controls and automates the evidence-collection process. Optro categorizes AI systems based on the EU AI Act risk levels, from Minimal to Prohibited, and tracks the specific obligations required for each. Optro supports third-party AI risk management and lets customers extend risk assessments to external vendors.
