growGRC
Internal Audit & Evidence

Audit with technical rigor, risk alignment, and zero bureaucracy

Shift from periodic manual sampling to continuous assurance. Connect audit workpapers directly to live risk and control architecture.

The Root Problem

The symptom: auditors spending half their time tracking evidence over chat

When audit teams spend weeks chasing attachments, they lose the capacity to provide high-value advisory insights to the Board and Audit Committee.

Management Architecture

Fragmented Model vs. growGRC Connected Model

Your organization should not rely on disconnected files to demonstrate control and compliance.

Traditional Siloed Management

Isolated PowerPoint, Excel, and email threads

  • •Auditors spending 50% of their hours chasing evidence across chat and email.
  • •Disconnected workpapers in local folders with high risk of version loss.
  • •Audit findings tracked in spreadsheets updated only right before Committee meetings.
  • •Duplicate testing across the first, second, and third lines.

growGRC Connected Model

Strategy, processes, risks, controls, and audit in sync

  • Direct access to indexed, timestamped evidence without repetitive file requests.
  • Interconnected digital workpapers with evidentiary integrity and authorship trails.
  • Continuous tracking of findings and action plans until verified closure.
  • Combined assurance map under the Three Lines Model to eliminate overlap.
