Optro SOC 2 compliance software
The prior out-of-scope classification is no longer defensible against current Optro product material.
Initially branded SOXHUB, the company rebranded to AuditBoard in November 2017 as it expanded beyond SOX into audit, risk and compliance. AuditBoard officially rebranded to Optro on March 9, 2026. Optro describes the change as a continuation of the platform and customer business under a new name.

Optro directly markets SOC 2 compliance management, has a dedicated SOC 2 TSC package, provides automated evidence collection and continuous monitoring, and supports direct external-auditor collaboration. Do not confuse Optro security and assurance materials with the separate customer-facing SOC 2 capabilities documented in its Compliance Management and IT Risk & Compliance products.
Hg acquired AuditBoard in July 2024 in a transaction valuing the company at over $3 billion. AuditBoard reported more than $300 million in annual recurring revenue in October 2025. The company rebranded to Optro on March 9, 2026.
What Optro does.
Seven capabilities, graded the same way for every platform in the directory. "Not established" means we looked and could not confirm it, not that the feature is missing.
| Capability | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Automated evidence collection | Yes | Optro says it automates evidence collection and testing through 200+ out-of-the-box integrations. Its IT Risk & Compliance product also supports recurring data intake directly from connected systems. Source |
| Auditor workspace | Yes | Optro explicitly provides External Audit Projects: separate workspaces where external audit teams collaborate on evidence requests while customer data access remains restricted. Source |
| Trust center | Not established | Optro provides its own trust and security documentation, but that does not establish a customer-facing Trust Center product sold through Optro. No such product was established in the current catalog. |
| Security questionnaire answering | Yes | Optro has a dedicated Automated Security Questionnaires product. It accepts customer questionnaires, uses prior questionnaires, SOC 2 reports, policies and other security material to draft answers, and requires human review before submission. Source |
| Enterprise admin (SSO, SCIM, RBAC) | Yes | Current Optro material documents SAML 2.0, SCIM, configurable role-based authorization, custom roles, MFA and network restrictions. Compliance Management separately supports distinct compliance programs across multiple auditable entities. Source |
| SCIM 2.0 provisioning | Yes | Optro security documentation explicitly says it supports SCIM protocols for enterprise identity and provisioning workflows. Source |
| Continuous control testing | Yes | Compliance Management includes out-of-the-box continuous-monitoring templates for common IT controls. Optro's Controls Management product separately confirms continuous control testing using real-time data. Source |
| Native multi-framework support | Partial | Optro supports 30+ frameworks and standards and deliberately uses SCF/common-control mappings so one control and its evidence can satisfy requirements across frameworks. Treat this as a hybrid native-plus-cross-mapped model. Source |
2 frameworks checked individually, and how well each is established.
A framework on a marketing page is a vendor claim, not a confirmed capability. We grade the difference rather than repeating the list.
| Framework | Evidence | Note |
|---|---|---|
| SOC 2 | Vendor-claimed | Optro maintains a dedicated SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria package that says customers can centralize their SOC 2 program, automate evidence collection and reuse evidence and testing across frameworks. Source |
| ISO 27001 | Vendor-claimed | The current Compliance Management product explicitly names ISO 27001 alongside SOC 2 and NIST CSF and supports shared controls and evidence across multiple compliance programs. Source |
Optro uses quote-based pricing.
Getting a direct number requires a sales conversation. Anything below comes from reported quotes or marketplace listings, and is labeled as such.

Software pricing alone does not establish the audit fee. A licensed CPA firm issues the SOC 2 report. A commercial offer may package coordination or the fee, so get the legal provider, deliverable, and amount in writing. See the SOC 2 audit cost guide for scope and budget context.
Who actually issues the report.
Optro provides a dedicated external-audit project workspace for evidence-request collaboration and access separation. No public material reviewed establishes an embedded marketplace of independent CPA firms, and Optro does not itself issue SOC 2 reports. This is auditor-collaboration software, not a bundled attestation service.
Software prepares you for the audit; a licensed CPA firm performs it and issues the report. If you have not picked a firm yet, we list independent SOC 2 auditors separately, and we are not one of them.
Who Optro is for, and who it is not.
Good fit
Established organizations that need SOC 2, ISO 27001 and other frameworks connected to enterprise controls, cyber risk and internal audit in one GRC platform.
Poor fit
Very small teams pursuing only a first SOC 2 that prioritize low-cost self-service setup, transparent list pricing and a built-in CPA marketplace over enterprise GRC depth.
Typical buyer: Mid-market and enterprise organizations running SOC 2 as part of a broader IT risk, compliance, controls or internal-audit program, especially where multiple frameworks, entities and assurance teams need to share controls and evidence..
Compare Optro with three alternatives.
- Comp AI Sponsored
An engineering-led company that values an inspectable, self-hostable compliance platform and wants one vendor scope that can include guided implementation, a trust center, penetration testing, and audit coordination when quoted.
-
A company juggling multiple overlapping frameworks that wants one platform for evidence collection, a trust portal, and questionnaire automation instead of point tools for each.
-
A venture-backed SaaS company that needs to close an enterprise deal gated on SOC 2 and runs a fairly standard modern stack where Vanta's integration breadth pays off immediately.

2 facts on this page we could not establish.
Everything above renders with its evidence state, so a gap is visible rather than quietly filled in. If you work at Optro, send us the sources and we will fill them.
Verification is free and always will be. It does not change where Optro appears in any list on this site, what our reviews conclude, or which platform we recommend to a buyer. We only accept a correction that comes with a source we can check ourselves, and the source is published in the sources list above alongside the date.
