assureIQ vs ControlVista

assureIQ is a cloud audit workspace for regulated industries. Its agents draft workpapers, map controls, and analyse evidence while auditors perform testing, reach conclusions, and sign off. Audits move through seven stages: scoping, document processing, gap analysis, interviews and evidence, consolidation, findings, and reporting. The service ingests policies, screenshots, exports, tickets, matrices, and other support, linking materials to controls with version-aware references. Draft outputs include workpapers, findings, remediation plans, dashboards, reports, evidence requests, and audit-trail exports. Every write action requires approval, so users can approve, edit, or reject a Brain proposal before it is recorded. Strict tenant isolation supports multiple legal entities in one EU-hosted tenant. DSG.AI states that assureIQ is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-aligned. Integrations include SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Workday, BambooHR, identity systems, finance tools, ServiceNow, Jira, Archer, RSA, SharePoint, Teams, Confluence, and Box. Custom connectors support MCP servers, REST, GraphQL, file drops, and Kafka-style message queues. The service is positioned for evidence preparation, testing, external audit review, and chief audit executives needing capacity.

ControlVista is an internal audit management system covering risk-based planning, fieldwork, reporting, and remediation. VistaPlan scores auditable entities by weighted risk and supports capacity-matched annual plans, scheduling, and board approval. VistaField handles walkthroughs, control testing, evidence capture, working papers, and preparer-reviewer-approver sign-off. VistaResolve tracks management responses and remediation with ageing, overdue tracking, and threshold-based escalation. VistaReport drafts engagement reports and audit opinions and provides live assurance dashboards and committee packs. VistaAssist uses AI to draft procedures, workpaper summaries, findings, reports, and committee materials; auditors review and own the editable drafts. ControlVista connects to in-house systems and an organisation’s SSO or identity provider. It runs in a customer-controlled data centre or private cloud, with no outbound telemetry of engagement content and no vendor access to audit evidence, according to the maker. Source-code escrow is available, while the customer controls backups, recovery, and update timing. English and Arabic are supported, with alignment to IIA Standards 2024, COSO Internal Control, and ISO 19011. On-premise pricing is a fixed annual fee quoted during procurement.
