What Optro (AuditBoard) customers say

Powerful on paper. Heavy in practice.

AuditBoard rebranded as Optro in March 2026. Here’s what reviewers report, and how fullCircle handles it.

✕ Optro pain

Implementation is its own project

Implementation typically adds 10–30% of the annual subscription, and Gartner reviewers cite “inconsistent quality among implementation consultants.”2Vendr and Gartner Peer Insights, via Internal Audit Guide
✓ fullCircle

The Framework Deployer sets up your frameworks with controls and evidence requests ready, with expert-backed implementation. No months-long implementation project.

✕ Optro pain

Templates that don’t fit

“A significant amount of configuration and workpaper adaptation was needed.”2TrustRadius reviewer, via Internal Audit Guide
✓ fullCircle

One harmonized control set across SOC 2, ISO, PCI, HIPAA and AI frameworks, ready on day one.

✕ Optro pain

Paying per seat and per module

A public bid priced extra core users at $5,400 each, and one reviewer said the controls product couldn’t deliver full value without the audit and risk modules.2West Virginia DOT bid and Capterra, via Internal Audit Guide
✓ fullCircle

Every module and unlimited users are included. Nothing to unlock later.

✕ Optro pain

ROI you can’t verify

No independent ROI data is published; the vendor’s automation figures are unverified claims.2Internal Audit Guide, Optro review (2026)
✓ fullCircle

fullCircle is rated G2 Best Estimated ROI (Winter 2026), and customers report up to 75% fewer controls.

Bring your own agent

Your AI. Your agents. Our 80-tool MCP server.

Optro announced an MCP server in April 2026 for AI to query GRC data. fullCircle’s is live with 80 tools, connects in minutes, and lets your assistant, or your own agents, do real work inside your program.

80MCP tools to read and act on controls, evidence, risks and more
  • ✓Read and write. Your assistant doesn’t just answer questions; it updates controls, evidence and risks, and uploads evidence files straight into fullCircle.
  • ✓Connect in minutes. Copy credentials from org settings, add fullCircle as a connector, sign in.
  • ✓Governed by design. Every call runs under the user’s fullCircle role, admins switch AI access on or off per team, every agent write is logged, and agent results wait for human approval.

Which SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls are missing evidence for Q4?

Yes. And attach the access review export I just ran.

Illustrative example

🤖

Bring your own agent

Point Claude, Copilot or your in-house agents at fullCircle through the MCP server or API keys and service accounts.

🧩

Custom frameworks

Import your own frameworks and internal standards by CSV. They harmonize onto the same control set as SOC 2 and ISO.

🏢

Copilot Studio and Microsoft 365

Build declarative agents in your Microsoft tenant that read and update fullCircle, inside the tools your company already approved.

🔐

AI controls per team

Admins switch AI on or off for each organization and team, so data that hasn’t opted in never reaches a model.

📊

Your dashboards, your reports

Use the MCP server and REST API to feed custom dashboards, board reporting and the BI tools you already run.

🪪

Enterprise identity

SAML SSO with Okta, Entra ID and JumpCloud, plus Jira, Slack and calendar sync built in.

✕ Optro

Query-first AI, limited customization

  1. Optro’s MCP announcement describes AI that queries GRC data; it doesn’t publish a tool count, supported assistants or write actions.5
  2. 54 G2 reviews cite a lack of customization, and 71 cite limited functionality.2
  3. There’s no scripting language for custom analytics.2
  4. Its agents launched in October 2026, and AI Discovery is previewing ahead of 2027.4

Built to be extended

  1. Bring any MCP-ready assistant or your own agents.
  2. Read and write across controls, evidence and risks, including file uploads.
  3. Custom frameworks, multi-business-unit scopes, per-team AI controls, SSO and APIs for enterprise rollout.

AI that does the work

Agents that work one harmonized control set. A human approves every result.

Test a control once and credit it across SOC 2, ISO, HIPAA and AI frameworks, with your team signing off on what the agents find.

✕ Optro

New, and proven on one SOX program

  • ✕Optro’s domain agents launched in October 2026, and automated evidence collection is still listed as upcoming.4
  • ✕Published results come from one customer, Reddit’s SOX program, and are supplied by the vendor.4
  • ✕Reviewers say agents struggle with judgment-based management review controls.2
✓ fullCircle

Agents that check the work for you

  • ✓Evidence agents gather evidence from your systems and request what’s missing from control owners.
  • ✓Evidence Validator reviews evidence against the control and flags what’s missing before your auditor sees it.
  • ✓Test Controls tests your controls against one harmonized set, across every framework at once.
  • ✓Agent teams for policy, risk and vendor work. A human approves every result.

Questions Optro (AuditBoard) buyers ask

Is Optro the same company as AuditBoard?

Yes. AuditBoard rebranded as Optro in March 2026.

How is fullCircle priced?

Every module is included, with unlimited users, frameworks, controls and evidence. We quote it in one call, based on your scope.

We run SOX in Optro. Do we have to move it?

No. Keep SOX where it lives and run security, privacy and AI compliance in fullCircle, on one harmonized control set across SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA and more.

What does fullCircle integrate with?

Whatever you need evidence from. Instead of a catalog of off-the-shelf connectors that break and leave gaps, we build agents and connectors to your spec, including for custom, internal and on-prem systems. Evidence comes in from the systems you actually run, and agents work out what each control still needs.

Do we need a dedicated GRC team to run fullCircle?

No. Every module is included, the Framework Deployer sets up controls and evidence requests, and agent teams take on evidence review and control testing.

Can we bring our own AI agents?

Yes. The fullCircle MCP server has 80 tools and connects to Claude, Claude Code, Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio and Microsoft 365 Copilot agents. Your own agents can connect with API keys and service accounts, read and update controls, evidence and risks, and upload evidence files.

What happens to our existing controls and evidence?

That is what the demo is for. We harmonize the frameworks and controls you already run, then show how they deploy into fullCircle with controls and evidence requests ready.

What do we need to send before the demo?

Just the frameworks you tick in the form. A control list or custom framework is optional: reply to the calendar invite with it attached.

Skip the implementation project.
