GRC-led audit trends drive customer risk and audit quality issues

The profession is writing its own rules. That’s an inherent conflict…  we must take a fresh look at auditor conflicts of interest.

– Gary Gensler, Chair

SEC Center for Audit Quality (July 2022)

The audit industry is in the midst of a critical inflection point as regulators place more scrutiny on potential conflicted parties and organizational boundaries that have jeopardized:

  • Audit independence
  • Audit integrity and trust
  • Audit and risk data quality  
  • 3rd party risk

GRC-led security tools like Drata, Vanta, and Tugboat are designed to serve internal compliance management but create audit bias by crossing independence boundaries, curating evidence, dictating audit pricing, and managing audits. As such, these tools are accelerating the industry's need for ZeroBias™ security audits.

Vanta, Drata, Secureframe and the like are creating bias by requiring audits within their own tools.  Dictating pricing and curating audit data is creating immeasurable risk due to conflicted interests. 


Our firm chose Auditmation to reclaim and deliver ZeroBias™ assessment integrity.

Splitting GRC and 3rd Party Audit

GRC tools remain critical for operationalizing internal compliance effectiveness, but cyber risk and 3rd parties demand the presence of a separate and neutral external IT auditing platform to ensure data integrity and independent validation.  Simply put, internal security tools can’t be or do both.
