Internal audit,
out of Excel.
Plan, execute and report risk-based internal audits aligned to IIA Standards — without the spreadsheet sprawl, the version chaos or the dependence on second-line teams to feed you data.
Spreadsheet audits can't keep up with modern board expectations.
Of internal audit time across the region is spent collecting and chasing evidence — not analysing it.
Audit findings are still tracked in standalone Excel logs that lose visibility within 90 days.
What audit committee reporting takes when workpapers, controls and findings live in different tools.
The full audit lifecycle, end to end
Everything internal audit needs — without forcing your team out of one tool and into another.
Risk-based audit planning
Build a dynamic audit universe and generate risk-ranked annual plans in hours, not weeks. Justify every engagement with quantified risk and coverage data.
Engagement workflow
Standardised audit workflows from scoping to fieldwork to reporting. Assign reviewers, track sampling, lock workpapers — fully aligned to IIA Standards.
Workpapers & evidence
Centralised, searchable audit workpapers with version control and reviewer signoffs. Pull evidence directly from controls, policies and risks.
Findings & issue tracking
Raise findings inline, route to issue owners, track remediation to closure. Auto-escalate overdue items to the audit committee.
Audit committee reporting
Generate board-ready audit reports, dashboards and KPIs in one click. Filter by entity, framework or business unit — bilingual export.
AI-assisted sampling
The platform recommends sample sizes, flags anomalies in evidence and pre-drafts observations — your auditors stay in control of conclusions.
From audit universe to closed finding — in one platform.
Build and risk-rank the audit universe.

You're not buying a tool. You're buying defensible, audit-committee-grade assurance.

Compliance is not Audit.
Saudi GRC vendors love to blur these. We don't. The CISO and the Head of Internal Audit need different tools, different workflows and different evidence trails — and GRC Vantage gives you both inside the same platform.
For the CISO and second-line teams
Framework conformance against SAMA CSF, NCA ECC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and PDPL.
Explore ComplianceFor the Head of Internal Audit and the third line
Independent assurance over the controls compliance is running. Workpapers, sampling, findings, committee reporting — IIA-aligned and audit-committee defensible.

- Is GRC Vantage's audit module aligned to IIA Standards?
- Yes. Workflows, workpaper templates, quality assurance reviews and reporting cycles are aligned to the IIA's Global Internal Audit Standards and the IPPF Practice Advisories — applicable to internal audit functions in any sector.
- How is this different from your Compliance module?
- Compliance is built for the CISO and second-line teams running framework conformance against standards like ISO 27001, SAMA CSF, NCA ECC and PDPL. Audit Management is built for the third-line internal audit function — independent assurance over those controls. Both share the same control library so internal audit gets one-click access to first- and second-line evidence.
- Which audit types does the platform support?
- The platform is sector-agnostic and ships with engagement templates for operational, financial, IT, vendor, fraud and compliance audits. Pre-mapped control libraries cover ISO 27001, ISO 22301, COSO, IIA Standards, SAMA CSF, NCA ECC and PDPL Saudi Arabia.
- Does it integrate with our existing ERP, GL or operational systems?
- Yes. GRC Vantage offers connectors to common ERP, GL, identity and ITSM systems, plus a documented REST API for custom data ingestion needed for substantive testing.
- Is the platform usable outside banking — government, healthcare, energy, telco?
- Yes. Internal audit teams in financial services, government and public sector, healthcare, energy and utilities, telecommunications, manufacturing, retail and critical national infrastructure all use GRC Vantage.
- Can we host the platform inside Saudi Arabia?
- Yes. Saudi data residency via hosting partners in Riyadh and Dammam, and on-premise deployment for organisations subject to data sovereignty controls.
