Connected Risk SOX Compliance Management
What it is
Connected Risk SOX Compliance Management helps organizations coordinate SOX and ICFR controls, testing, evidence, remediation, and reporting. Teams can centralize controls, automate tests, track evidence, manage deficiencies and remediation, and generate real-time reports for auditors and leadership. The platform is modular and configurable, serving as a system of record for teams, data, and processes. Users can adjust forms, workflows, and reports without developers. Role-based access control, version control, and audit trails support permission oversight and change tracking. Documented REST API endpoints allow Connected Risk data to be inserted and retrieved. The vendor also describes integrations with Microsoft Office, Active Directory/SSO, regulatory content providers, BI and reporting tools, data science tools, and document management systems. Customers can choose secure cloud hosting or their own on-premises environment. Other modules include Internal Audit, Internal Controls, Enterprise Risk, Third-Party Risk, Model Risk, and Policy & Compliance. The vendor describes the platform as SOC 2, FedRAMP, and GDPR compliant, and says implementation includes support and established processes. Pricing is available on request.
