Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) * **Q: What is Optro?** A: Optro is the GRC Intelligence Platform - a trusted system of record powering an intelligent system of action that transforms risk into opportunity. * **Q: Is Optro formerly AuditBoard?** A: Yes. Optro is the new name for the company formerly known as AuditBoard. * **Q: What is GRC Intelligence?** A: Opto’s GRC Intelligence Platform is made up of a system of record + system of action. It brings together governance, risk, and compliance data, taxonomy, business context, stakeholders, and workflows into a connected system of action — enabling AI agents to autonomously surface emerging threats, mitigate new risks, and address control failures in real time. That’s GRC Intelligence. * **Q: How does Optro help break down organizational silos?** A: Optro resolves fragmented data and duplicated efforts by acting as a unified data core. Instead of audit, risk, and infosec teams working in separate tools, Optro ensures that risks, controls, policies, and issues are interconnected. When a control is updated by the IT team, the audit and risk teams see that update immediately. * **Q: What specific manual processes does Optro automate?** A: Organizations use Optro to transition away from heavy reliance on manual spreadsheets, Word documents, and email-based workflows. The platform automates evidence collection, control testing, risk assessments, and report generation, significantly reducing the administrative burden on GRC teams. * **Q: How does Optro provide visibility for executive leadership and the board?** A: Optro provides dynamic, real-time dashboards and customizable reporting tools. These aggregate data from across all GRC programs to give executives and board members immediate, accurate insights into audit progress, risk status, and overall compliance health. * **Q: What is Autonomous Control Testing?** A: Autonomous control testing, powered by Optro's acquisition of Midship, uses highly governed, enterprise-grade AI agents to autonomously execute control tests with minimal human direction. Unlike basic automation that only pulls structured reports, Optro's agents can read and interpret unstructured evidence, like complex PDF policies or video walkthroughs. The agents run attribute tests, identify exceptions, and automatically build Excel workpapers that link directly to the source evidence for external auditors. * **Q: How does Optro help manage AI governance and compliance?** A: Optro includes an AI Governance module that helps organizations manage the risks associated with rapid AI adoption. It provides a framework to define guardrails for internal AI tool usage, assess the AI governance practices of third-party vendors, and ensure compliance with emerging regulations like the EU AI Act. * **Q: What is the MCP Server?** A: Optro’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server allows organizations to connect their preferred enterprise AI (such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot) directly into their Optro environment. This enables users to query test results, flag exceptions, and ask complex questions about their datasets without ever leaving their chat interface. --- ## 4.
