Context

As an enterprise compliance and posture management tool, the Security and Compliance Center works with a lot of clients in regulated industries such as financial services, government, and healthcare - who frequently need to conduct audits.

A typical audit process for SOC 2 compliance can take months to prepare for without the use of modern audit management SaaS products. Our team capitalized on an opportunity to better serve our customers by introducing audit management capabilities in house, so that clients can take care of all their compliance needs in one centralized platform.

Initial research

I led the initial research and discovery phase for this project by conducting a high-level competitive analysis and presenting findings to product management partners to start creating a feature roadmap.

<aside> 💡 Insight Most competitor audit management tools are mature & part of a larger GRC platform with robust capabilities.

Our approach is to roll out the new product internally first and integrate it with existing GRC products to catch up in feature parity
