Internal Audit with Conformance
Internal audit operates in a structured risk and control environment, ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks and internal governance. Our platform is designed to support audit functions by enabling structured assessments, follow-ups, and risk-based prioritization, covering not only DORA, NIS2, and GDPR but also AML, internal guidelines, and group instructions.
Multi-Regulatory Compliance Support (Beyond DORA, NIS2, and GDPR)
Audit teams often struggle with managing multiple regulatory frameworks alongside internal governance requirements. Our platform provides:
- Structured compliance assessments across DORA, NIS2, GDPR, AML, internal policies, and group instructions.
- A flexible framework where organizations can define their own governance requirements, ensuring alignment with both regulatory and internal standards.
- A centralized approach, eliminating fragmented compliance efforts across different departments.
Digitalized Audit Follow-Ups for Governance & Risk Control
Audit reviews don’t end with a report; follow-ups are essential to ensure findings are addressed. Our platform enables:
- Automated follow-up assessments, ensuring audit findings (e.g., in AML or internal policy controls) are tracked and validated at predefined intervals (e.g., semi-annually).
- Evidence collection & documentation, ensuring compliance improvements are verifiable.
- Audit-ready reports, reducing manual effort in tracking remediation actions.
Risk-Based Approach to Compliance & Internal Controls
Rather than treating all compliance requirements equally, internal audit needs a risk-weighted approach. Our methodology supports:
- Risk prioritization models, focusing on high-risk, high-impact areas within AML, internal policies, and regulatory compliance.
- Integration of Risk/Impact vs. Risk/Effort modeling, ensuring audit recommendations align with business realities.
- A structured way to link compliance gaps to real business risks, helping internal audit justify prioritization to senior management.
Supporting Internal Guidelines & Group Instructions
Many organizations have internal compliance policies beyond regulations, such as:
- Group-wide policies on risk management, ethics, or sustainability.
- Internal guidelines for IT security, financial transactions, or operational risk.
- AML screening procedures and due diligence frameworks.
Our platform ensures these internal standards are assessed in the same structured way as external regulations, allowing audit teams to:
- Conduct uniform risk assessments across internal and external compliance areas.
- Use structured data to validate adherence to group policies.
- Ensure audit consistency across multiple governance layers.
Compliance & Risk Insights for Audit Planning
Internal audit functions need data-driven insights to refine their audit focus. Our platform helps by:
- Identifying recurring compliance gaps, ensuring targeted audit interventions.
- Providing structured risk evolution tracking, helping internal audit monitor if risks are increasing or decreasing.
- Supporting audit planning based on real compliance data, rather than static pre-defined cycles.

More effective compliance monitoring across e.g. DORA, NIS2, GDPR, AML & internal governance.
Reduced manual workload with automated follow-ups & evidence tracking.
A risk-based approach, ensuring focus on high-impact compliance areas.
