NAVEX Global launched NAVEX One in 2020. It is described by the vendor as a complete GRC platform, providing a comprehensive set of applications and workflows integrated into a single platform, for compliance, legal, or HR professionals.
Auditboard is especially useful for SOX control testing. It is very convenient having all our information on a single platform. It is easy to communicate PBC requests to clients, store control testing working papers for review, communicate deficiencies and build dashboards to provide visual statistics. Situations where it might not be useful are for organizations that are smaller in size where the templates don't fit well with their internal audit/controls program. There is a significant amount of testing required before using the platform, and adapting working papers to fit in well with AuditBoard
We have used PolicyTech for over 13 years. We have found it to be a robust solution, that has great technical support, and that continues to evolve as technology changes. If a business is looking for a solution to support best practices in policy and procedure development and distribution, there is no better solution than PolicyTech. We currently use PolicyTech’s SAS service. This solution would not be as effective for business environments that do not have computers for their employees to access on a daily basis.
We used to perform our Risk Control Analysis (RCA) for each audit's planning in an Excel spreadsheet. Once we purchased the Risk Oversight module, AuditBoard helped us convert the RCA to a system function rather than a spreadsheet. At first, we lost some of the functionality the spreadsheet provided, but AuditBoard did continue to help us build and work towards a solution more similar to what we previously had. Though happy with it, it's still not perfect. As one example, I'd like to be able to link actual Ops Audit work steps that cover the risk and controls being outlined in the RCA, rather than just adding a comment to state which steps cover them. More of a preference, I suppose.
I also had demoed their beta Resources and Scheduling module, but it didn't have enough functionality at the time to work for how we put the quarterly Internal Audit schedule together (using Excel). One thing I recall was that you couldn't pull in SOX controls or non-chargeable work (such as education or administration) to auditor's schedules; it was meant to schedule the Ops Audits only. It is possible they have already fixed or improved this; I just haven't seen the updated version.
In my point of view, I would love this platform if it could be customized more to my personal taste and my needs, in this aspect it has its limitations.
Unfortunately, the technical support of this program is not the best when it comes to responding, the truth is that they are never capable of responding to our problems on the spot.
I remember there were a lot of sync issues when I used the internally developed software, but that's probably because a few people were working on the same project at the same time. I have not come across this issue in AuditBoard
Navex is best intuitive and satisfied all the security & compliance requirement. ServiceNow GRC is complex & not easy to deployable.. also need that cost effective solution. Even it was tough to customize initially but later after doing fine-tuning with policies & process we got best insights & inputs from solution .
Hard to quantify. It was cheaper than the tool we had and we were able to get rid of standalone tool for surveys. overall, just better user experience for all.
