Internal audit software vs GRC software
If the job is the audit plan, the file and the follow-up, you do not need a platform built for every risk team in the company.
GRC software is a wide category: enterprise risk, compliance cases, policy attestations, vendor risk, and sometimes internal audit as one module. Internal audit software is narrower. It is how the audit function plans, tests, reports and follows up until an action is verified.
Choose audit software when
- The buyer is the head of internal audit, not a transformation programme.
- The pain is Excel, email and a leadership pack rebuilt before every meeting.
- You want to import the register you have and be working the same day.
- You need segregation of duties inside the audit file, not a catalogue of two hundred integrations.
Look at a GRC suite when
You are standardising risk, compliance and audit for a large group, with a budget and a project team to match. Scrutive is not that product. It is the system of record for the audit team, including the leadership pack for management or the audit committee, with AI kept as a signed draft.
