ControlHatch vs ProcessUnity SOX Compliance

ControlHatch is a web-based GRC platform for SOX compliance, internal controls, risk assessments, and operational audits. Teams can organize control testing by audit round, record exceptions, and capture reviewer sign-off in an audit trail. Its AI-assisted workflow drafts risks, controls, and assertions from process descriptions for users to review and refine. Risk dashboards score risks and link them to mitigating controls. Recurring monthly or quarterly certification campaigns can send reminders and record timestamped attestations. A dashboard tracks evidence requests and fieldwork status, with scheduled reminders for outstanding PBC items; teams can export fieldwork to their own Excel testing templates. ControlHatch says it supports more than 50 frameworks and standards, including SOX 404, SOC 1 and SOC 2, ITGC, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA. Listed security measures include end-to-end encryption, role-based access control, audit logging, and SHA-256 hashing of uploaded evidence. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited users, entities, projects, and controls, AI-assisted workflows, and full data export.

ProcessUnity SOX Compliance is a hosted, web-accessible application for Sarbanes-Oxley work within ProcessUnity’s risk management platform.

Teams can connect processes with risks and significant accounts, associate risks with mitigating controls, and identify shared controls for coordinated testing. Testing can focus on processes, systems, or controls. Dashboards track progress and results, while issue-resolution workflows and remote auditor access support follow-up and review.
