Overview
Optro is the name AuditBoard adopted on 9 March 2026; the company said the change reflected a platform that had grown beyond its original audit focus[15]. Its home page describes Optro as “formerly AuditBoard” and says it is trusted by more than half of the Fortune 500[14]. In May 2024 private-equity firm Hg agreed to acquire AuditBoard in a deal valuing it at more than US$3 billion; at the time AuditBoard had over 2,000 customers[16]. The product line covers four solution areas: audit, risk, information security and compliance. Named modules include Controls Management, Autonomous Testing, AI Governance, OpsAudit, BCM, CrossComply, RiskOversight, RegComply, TPRM and Agentic Compliance[14]. CrossComply is the compliance module that maps controls across frameworks; RegComply handles regulatory change; OpsAudit is the internal audit application, and SOX programmes are the company’s historic core. In 2026 the company also announced the acquisition of FairNow, an AI governance product[15]. Optro is aimed at second- and third-line teams in large organisations rather than at start-ups preparing a first SOC 2 report, and the transition from the AuditBoard brand means some product links still point to legacy domains[14].
