Bitsight + AuditBoard Integration

Applies To: Bitsight Continuous Monitoring users leveraging AuditBoard’s Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) module.

Overview

AuditBoard is a cloud-based platform designed to streamline and enhance audit, risk, and compliance management for organizations. It serves as a centralized solution facilitating efficient planning, execution, and tracking of audits, promoting collaboration among teams through customizable templates and automated workflows. This ensures consistency and adherence to compliance standards, with real-time reporting and analytics providing insights into audit progress and findings.

The Bitsight + AuditBoard Integration allows users to enrich their third-party risk workflows within AuditBoard by incorporating external cybersecurity ratings and risk indicators from Bitsight. This enables real-time visibility into a vendor’s security posture, improving risk assessment and helping users make more informed decisions.

This is a one-way integration from Bitsight into AuditBoard. No data is sent back to Bitsight.
