Products & Services
Connected enterprise platform unifying audit, risk, infosec, compliance, controls, reporting and AI governance on a shared data model.
Central control repository with workflow automation, self-assessments, testing and cross-framework control management.

Market Position
Optro positions itself as an AI-native, practitioner-built GRC system of action rather than a collection of disconnected legacy systems of record. Its differentiation is a unified risk/control data core, connected audit-risk-compliance workflows, governed human-in-the-loop AI, autonomous testing and AI governance. It competes with enterprise GRC and audit platforms such as ServiceNow GRC, RSA Archer, MetricStream, Diligent, Workiva, LogicGate and OneTrust, with its strongest positioning in connected GRC, internal audit, controls and emerging AI governance.

Founding Story
Daniel Kim and Jay Lee, former internal auditors who experienced the daily burden of manual, disconnected SOX and audit processes, started the company in 2014 as SOXHUB to modernize Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. It rebranded as AuditBoard in 2017 as the product expanded into internal audit and risk management, and became Optro in 2026 to reflect its broader GRC and AI system-of-action vision.
