Internal audit software
built by auditors.
The audit lifecycle you actually run — risk, control, test, finding, CAP, evidence — modeled end-to-end. No spreadsheet sprawl. No six-figure price tags. No three-month implementation.

Your audit lifecycle, modeled end-to-end
Not a ticketing system. Not a document store with a compliance skin. Every step of the internal audit process is a first-class object — linked, searchable, and auditable.
Risk
Heatmap, KRIs, inherent/residual scoring.
Control
Mapped to standards. Owner + frequency tracked.
Test
Scheduled testing with workpapers and evidence.
Finding
Status, severity, linked controls and evidence.
CAP
Corrective action plan with assignees and due dates.
Evidence
Chain of custody. Versioning. Classification controls.
Pre-built templates for the frameworks on your desk
Real control content — not empty checklists. Map once, satisfy many via standards crosswalks.
What makes this different
The enterprise GRC tools that dominated the last decade were built for consultants and priced for Fortune 500 budgets. PonoAudit was built for the auditors actually using it.
Built around the audit lifecycle
Risk → Control → Test → Finding → CAP → Evidence is wired end-to-end. Not a spreadsheet clone, not a ticketing system dressed up as GRC.
Evidence with a real chain of custody
Every upload, access, review, and status change is logged immutably. Classification levels gate who can see what. Versioning is native, not bolted on.
Working-paper rigor without the pain
Test procedures, sample selection, results, and exceptions all live against the control — so the next auditor (external or internal) picks up cold.
Standards crosswalks that actually save time
Map a control once, satisfy requirements across SOC 2, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, COBIT, and NIST AI RMF simultaneously. No more parallel spreadsheets.
Workflow configuration, not workflow jail
Approvals, routing, and escalations configurable per entity type. When the CAE wants sign-off on high findings only, you don't need a consultant.
Fair, transparent pricing
Published per-seat pricing. No six-figure commitments. Start small, add seats as the team grows.
Built to the standards you're held to
PonoAudit aligns with the IIA's International Professional Practices Framework (IPPF). Here's how specific standards map into the platform.
- IIA Standard 1200 — Proficiency and Due Professional Care (evidence custody, role-based access)
- IIA Standard 1300 — Quality Assurance and Improvement Program (audit log on every change)
- IIA Standard 2100 — Nature of Work (risk, control, governance objects modeled natively)
- IIA Standard 2200 — Engagement Planning (audit templates with pre-loaded frameworks)
- IIA Standard 2300 — Performing the Engagement (workpapers, findings, evidence)
- IIA Standard 2400 — Communicating Results (executive summary, findings register reports)
- IIA Standard 2500 — Monitoring Progress (CAPs with due-date notifications and status tracking)
Transparent pricing. Start small.
Published per-seat pricing with monthly or annual billing. No sales call required to see what you'll pay.

Questions from the IA community
Can we import our existing risk register and control matrix?
Yes. CSV import is supported for risks, controls, findings, and KRI measurements. Most teams migrate their active audit year in a day.
How does evidence chain of custody work?
Every upload, download, review, status change, and classification update writes an immutable audit-log entry. Evidence versioning is native — when a document is superseded, the previous version remains queryable with its full history.
Can I run a walkthrough / test of controls and document exceptions?
Yes. Control tests are scheduled (with weekday-skip and year-spread logic), results and exceptions are tracked per test, and failed tests can be promoted directly into findings with a linked CAP.
What about vendor risk and TPRM?
TPRM is a first-class module — vendor registry, questionnaire workflow (sent via vendor self-service portal), contract tracking, auto-scoring, monitoring dashboard, and offboarding wizard. Questionnaire templates include industry-specific presets.
Does it handle compliance frameworks beyond SOC 2?
NIST CSF, NIST 800-171, NIST 800-53, NIST AI RMF 1.0, ISO 27001, ISO 27002, COBIT 2019, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and others come pre-loaded. Standards crosswalks let you map a single control to requirements across multiple frameworks.
Do you offer SSO and SCIM for enterprise rollouts?
SSO is available via our authentication partner. SCIM provisioning is on the roadmap — contact us for timeline.
Can CAEs limit visibility between audit teams?
Yes. RBAC includes role-based filtering and evidence classification levels (public → restricted → confidential). Auditors only see what their role and clearance allow.
Is data hosted in the US? Daily backups?
Yes, US-based Postgres with daily encrypted backups. Evidence files are in Cloudflare R2 with server-side encryption. Full audit logging. SOC 2 aligned.
