We built Assure for the problems
audit teams actually face
Assurance functions spend too much time on administrative overhead and too little on delivering insight. Assure eliminates the friction so you can focus on what matters: assurance and advisory.
The problem
Scattered audit evidence across emails, shared drives, and spreadsheets
With Assure
Centralized evidence repository with auto-linking to findings, working papers, and controls
The problem
Weeks spent building risk-based audit plans manually in Excel
With Assure
AI-assisted risk scoring auto-generates prioritized annual audit plans in minutes
The problem
Findings and recommendations lost in PDF reports nobody reads
With Assure
Live action tracker with automated follow-ups, escalation workflows, and real-time status dashboards
The problem
Risk registers updated once a year with no link to actual audit results
With Assure
Dynamic risk register that auto-updates from audit findings, control assessments, and monitoring alerts
The problem
No visibility into management action implementation until the next audit cycle
With Assure
Continuous monitoring of remediation progress with automated reminders and executive reporting
The problem
Policies and SOPs scattered, outdated, with no version control or approval trail
With Assure
Full policy lifecycle management with version history, approval workflows, review scheduling, and linked risks
Eight things this category does not usually do
Module coverage is where most platforms in this category compete, and on that measure the field is close. These eight are where Assure is built differently, and every one of them is checkable against the product itself rather than a claim about anyone else.
Database activity monitoring, inside the GRC platform
Privileged sessions, sensitive-data access, schema and permission changes captured as they happen, with detection rules, session forensics and masking policies. Assure treats the database record as audit evidence, because that is what an ITGC reviewer is actually asking for.
Capture, detection, data protection, integrity reporting
An audit trail a third party can verify
Every record carries an HMAC of its own contents plus the hash of the record before it, so editing a row breaks its HMAC and deleting or reordering rows breaks the chain. Records and reports are signed with published keys and a public endpoint confirms them.
Per-tenant hash chain, signing keys, public verification
Runs inside your jurisdiction
Deploy on Kubernetes in your own environment, not only on a vendor cloud. Under the Data Protection Act 2019 that is a legal position rather than an infrastructure preference, and it is the question a public-sector evaluator reaches first.
Managed cloud or self-hosted
Compliance with the evidence attached
A control is not a tick-box state. Each clause-level item carries an assessment with the assessor, the conclusion, the supporting document or control test, and the next review date. Ask “show me the evidence for this Met control” and the answer is one click, not a search through a shared drive.
Clause to assessment to evidence, with a crosswalk
Anomaly detection that raises the finding
Connectors sync SAP, Dynamics 365 and NetSuite, a scoring engine combines signals into one scored alert per entity, false positives are suppressed persistently, and a confirmed alert promotes into the audit record as a finding with an owner. The transaction is scored, not merely collected.
Sync, score, suppress, promote
A policy portal staff will actually open
Policies and procedures publish to a white-labelled portal on your own subdomain, with reader-mode RACI steps and acknowledgement tracking per person. A policy library the workforce never opens is not a control.
Per-tenant subdomain, acknowledgement tracked
Built for the obligations you actually carry
Data Protection Act 2019 and sector obligation registers, ODPC submission packs on a cadence, and KES-native throughout. Not a localisation layer bolted onto a framework set built for somewhere else.
Kenyan statutory fit, not a localisation layer
One record, not an integration project
A control tests a risk, a finding promotes from an exception, an obligation maps to a policy, a loss event links back to the risk that produced it. Those joins live in one schema with one transaction boundary and one audit trail, which is where the value of integrated GRC actually comes from.

team needs
From risk-based planning and fieldwork through to findings management, action tracking, and continuous monitoring, every module built specifically for internal audit methodology.
Audit Universe & Planning
Map every auditable entity (departments, processes, systems, projects) into a risk-scored audit universe. Auto-generate annual plans weighted by inherent risk, control maturity, and time since last audit. Allocate auditor capacity with drag-and-drop scheduling.
Risk & Control Intelligence
Dynamic enterprise risk register with inherent and residual scoring (impact × likelihood). Link risks to controls, map controls to audit findings, and track control effectiveness over time. AI correlates findings across engagements to surface systemic issues.
Continuous Monitoring
100+ pre-built rules scan financial transactions, system events, and compliance indicators 24/7. Configurable thresholds trigger alerts for duplicate payments, segregation of duties violations, unusual vendor patterns, and revenue leakage. Exceptions route directly into audit workflows.
ERP & System Integration
Purpose-built connectors for SAP (FI, CO, MM, SD, HR), Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. Extract transaction data, vendor masters, journal entries, and payment records automatically. Native integration with eTIMS and KRA tax systems for revenue assurance.
Policies & GRC
Full policy lifecycle management: create, version, approve, and distribute policies, SOPs, standards, and guidelines. Approval workflows route through legal, audit, and executive sign-off. Link policies to risks and controls with automated review scheduling.
AI-Powered Analytics
Custom BI dashboards with drill-down capability. Natural language queries like 'show me overdue high-risk findings from Q3'. Predictive risk scoring uses historical data to forecast where the next issue will surface. One-click report generation for audit committees.
Working Papers & Findings
Structured working paper templates for walkthroughs, test-of-controls, and substantive testing. Findings capture condition, criteria, cause, and effect with severity rating. Evidence repository auto-links documents to findings and controls.
Action Tracking & Follow-Up
Every audit recommendation becomes a trackable action with owner, due date, and evidence requirements. Automated email reminders escalate overdue items through management hierarchy. Real-time dashboards show implementation rates by department, risk level, and age.
From annual plan to
continuous assurance
See how Assure supports every phase of the internal audit lifecycle: planning, execution, reporting, and continuous monitoring, in one connected platform.
Define the Audit Universe
Map every auditable entity (departments, processes, projects, systems) into a structured audit universe. Assign risk ratings based on inherent risk, control maturity, time since last audit, and strategic importance.
How it works in Assure
Assure auto-generates a risk-weighted annual audit plan. Drag-and-drop to adjust priorities, allocate auditor capacity, and get board-ready coverage visualisations.
Scope & Resource Engagements
Create audit engagements with structured objectives, scope boundaries, and criteria. Assign audit teams with skill-matching and workload balancing.
How it works in Assure
Each engagement auto-populates a risk and control matrix from the enterprise risk register, so fieldwork starts with context rather than from scratch.
Conduct Fieldwork
Structured working papers with built-in templates for walkthroughs, test-of-controls, and substantive testing. Upload evidence, annotate documents, and link everything to specific risks and controls.
How it works in Assure
Real-time collaboration means no more emailing working paper files. Supervisory review happens in-platform with inline comments and sign-off workflows.
Document Findings
Structured finding capture: condition, criteria, cause, effect, and recommendation. Auto-link findings to risks, controls, and working paper evidence. Rate severity consistently using configurable scales.
How it works in Assure
AI-assisted drafting helps auditors write clearer findings faster. Root cause categorisation surfaces systemic issues across multiple engagements.
Generate Reports
One-click report generation from engagement data, with no copy-pasting from spreadsheets. Executive summaries, detailed findings, management action plans, and trend analysis all templated and branded.
How it works in Assure
Reports pull live data, so last-minute finding updates automatically reflect in the final document. Export as PDF, Word, or present directly from the dashboard.
Track Management Actions
Every recommendation becomes a trackable action item with owner, due date, and evidence requirements. Automated reminders escalate overdue actions through the management hierarchy.
How it works in Assure
Action owners can upload implementation evidence directly into Assure. Auditors validate closure without scheduling follow-up meetings.
Continuous Monitoring & Analytics
100+ pre-built monitoring rules scan financial transactions, system events, and compliance indicators around the clock. AI anomaly detection flags exceptions before they become audit findings.
How it works in Assure
Executive dashboards aggregate audit coverage, risk trends, finding patterns, and action implementation rates into real-time visual intelligence for the board and audit committee.
Feed Back into Planning
Monitoring insights, unresolved findings, and updated risk scores automatically feed into the next audit planning cycle, creating a true continuous assurance loop.
How it works in Assure
The audit universe risk ratings evolve dynamically based on actual results, not just annual reassessment. Your next plan is always informed by your latest intelligence.
How the work comes together
A powerful dashboard that brings your entire audit operation into focus. Real-time data, intelligent insights, zero noise.
