Streamlined workflow and enhanced simplicity with an easy setup
I used AuditBoard primarily for risk assessment questionnaires in a very premature risk environment. I also have experience with IBM OpenPages, mostly for operational risk to track issues, to look at risks and controls The collaboration within my team had not yet significantly changed since…

Vendor risk monitoring has strengthened our security posture and reduced insurance costs
In terms of improvements, I feel SecurityScorecard could enhance some of the integrations based on AI platforms, where I could receive suggestions from the AI tool regarding why SecurityScorecard rates specific issues as critical or high. Details on the technical mitigation would help my non-technical teams understand the security issues better. I think improvements could be made on the reporting side as well, such as the ability to download customizable reports. While SecurityScorecard offers various kinds of reports now, they are limited to predefined formats. Having the ability to choose specific fields for an automated report would be very helpful.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In AuditBoard, there are all the audit steps, including documentation, archiving, and tracking the progress of audits."
"The most valuable feature is the well-documented instruction."
"Its ability to share the data in real-time has helped us well."
"AuditBoard is very user-friendly compared to other audit management software I have used in the past."
"The most valuable feature is that everybody can use the same tool. You can give a person permission to use AuditBoard and define their access to the Audit Table. For example, we can allow external auditors or clients to review our completed tests. The clients are attached to specific tests that happen regularly, like inventory counts and asset counts. Debt compliance is only done once annually."
"The most valuable feature of AuditBoard is its ability to facilitate the editing of work papers in a seamless and efficient manner. This is achieved through a built-in tool that allows for real-time editing without the need for downloading the working paper. This feature has proven to be incredibly time-saving for me as it eliminates the step of having to download the file and make changes, instead providing an easy-to-access "edit work paper" option. Overall, this feature has greatly improved my experience with AuditBoard and has been a significant contributor to its success in my opinion."
"The most significant feature of AuditBoard is its community tools. It provides an internal communication platform that enables users to communicate within the system rather than relying on external tools such as Outlook or Microsoft products. By communicating within the system, all interactions are centralized and accessible, promoting a streamlined workflow."
"There are lots of features."
"SecurityScorecard continuously scans just about every IP address out there, which means there is information available about virtually every company."
"The biggest benefit is visibility, allowing organizations to understand their risks, vulnerabilities, and potential threats."
"The best features SecurityScorecard offers for me are mainly being able to properly position my organization's security posture because of the score that is provided."
"Since we onboarded SecurityScorecard, our organization has been positively impacted by significantly improving our security maturity."
"One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements."
"SecurityScorecard has impacted my organization positively as it was a surprise to notice that many of our customers follow us there, and the tool scans the web twice per day, so we can see how hackers and what they can see from our publicly available IPs."
"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process."
"SecurityScorecard has positively impacted my organization and my customers by providing numerous benefits, as customers easily obtain the score, can determine what ports are open and many other things so that they can secure their DNS, applications, and networks effectively, and they have improved compliance and security with the help of SecurityScorecard."
 

Cons

"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."
"AuditBoard is overly simple in some instances and there needs to be flexibility to make it more robust."
"AuditBoard has the potential for improvement in a few key areas. Firstly, I have experienced instances where the platform has experienced technical issues and ceased to function effectively. Additionally, the editing tools provided within the platform can be slow and laggy, particularly when trying to access and edit important documents. This can be a hindrance to my workflow and efficiency. To address these issues, they should begin by improving the speed and reliability of the platform, as well as enhancing the search engine to make it easier to find specific controls and documents within the platform."
"AuditBoard could benefit from the addition of video capabilities, although it is not a necessity. Small companies that cannot afford licenses for Microsoft Teams or Zoom would benefit greatly from this feature, as it would enhance the communication process."
"Some of that flexibility could be enhanced. When comparing Archer and TeamMate+, there is a little more open-ended in terms of certain of our audit processes and procedures. And there is significantly greater freedom in creating ad hoc audit processes and procedures, whereas AuditBoard is a little more limiting in this regard."
"A handful of things in the solution need to be improved. One of them is better communication of updates to the system or tool itself."
"They should improve the solution's test sheets feature for ease of use."
"The initial setup is somewhat difficult because it has multiple pieces that need to be stitched together. You have to integrate it with the business unit you want to test if you want to go down from the corporate level to the operational level."
"The pricing of the product needs improvement in Brazil."
"SecurityScorecard can be complex during setup, and I would recommend that anyone implementing it get help setting it up because it is not as straightforward as people might think."
"SecurityScorecard can be improved. As it currently stands, it does a good job monitoring public-facing devices and the internet and DNS."
"Regarding my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for SecurityScorecard, since it does not require active deployment on our side being a SaaS-first company, I expected slightly lower pricing."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."
"There are areas for improvement in response times and overall support."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I highly recommend this tool as the price is reasonable. However, consistent pricing is important, and having a loyalty program that rewards long-term customers with lower prices would be a great addition."
"Pricing is variable, like with any technology, and is determined by how hard you wish to negotiate. You can get to a price you're willing to pay if you're willing to negotiate aggressively."
"Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."
"The pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
"The pricing of SecurityScorecard is fair. I would rate it a seven. It's a bit more on the expensive side. In Brazil, for example, making a payment to the vendor involves wire transfers and high taxes, making it more expensive. Selling SecurityScorecard or any American vendor's product in the United States is very different from selling in South America or Brazil."
