ControlVista vs Protecht

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.
