AuditBoard API
Programmatically access AuditBoard audit plans, SOX controls, risk registers, test results, issues and remediation, PBC requests, and evidence with a stable REST API. Supergood builds and operates production-grade, unofficial AuditBoard integrations so your team can automate GRC, regtech, and audit
What is AuditBoard?
AuditBoard is a cloud platform for audit, SOX and internal controls, risk, and compliance management used by internal audit, SOX, and InfoSec teams. It centralizes risk and control inventories, audit planning and workpapers, walkthroughs and testing, issues and remediation, compliance frameworks and crosswalks, evidence collection, and reporting.
Core product areas include:
- SOX & Controls Management (Control library, narratives, procedures, testing, certifications)
- Internal Audit Management (Audit planning, workpapers, testing, findings, reporting)
- Risk Management (ERM and IT risk registers, assessments, KRIs, mitigations)
- Compliance & Frameworks (Requirement libraries, mappings/crosswalks, policy attestations)
- Evidence & Requests (PBC request workflows, file/evidence management, approvals)
- Reporting & Dashboards (Control effectiveness, risk heatmaps, audit status, SLA/aging)
Common data entities:
- Organizations, Business Units/Processes, Users, Roles/Permissions
- Audits & Programs (SOX, operational, ITGC, compliance)
- Risks (enterprise, IT, process-level) and KRIs
- Controls (design attributes, owners, frequency, key/ITGC flags) and Control-Requirement mappings
- Tests & Workpapers (procedures, samples, conclusions)
- Issues/Findings, Action Plans, Remediation Tasks
- Requests (PBC/evidence requests), Responses, Evidence/Attachments
- Frameworks & Requirements (e.g., SOX, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, SOC 2) and Crosswalks
The AuditBoard Integration Challenge
AuditBoard is widely adopted for GRC, but turning portal-based workflows into API-driven automation can be tricky:
- Role- and period-aware data: Auditors, control owners, and approvers see different states by period, entity, and assignment
- Evidence and file handling: Large attachments, versioning, and approval trails require resilient upload flows
- Cross-module relationships: Risks link to controls, controls to tests and requirements, findings to remediation and re-testing
- Authentication complexity: SSO/MFA and rotating session tokens complicate headless automation
- Compliance rigor: SOX, ITGC, and regulatory workflows impose strict state transitions and auditability
How Supergood Creates AuditBoard APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated browser flows and network interactions to deliver a resilient API endpoint layer for your AuditBoard tenant.
- Handles username/password, SSO/OAuth, and MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) securely
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses so you can integrate once and rely on consistent objects across modules
- Aligns with customer entitlements and role-based permissions to ensure compliant access

Use Cases
Controls & SOX Data Sync
- Mirror control libraries, narratives, and test conclusions to your data warehouse - Push automated testing results (design/operating effectiveness) and exception details from your monitoring tools - Keep control owners, frequencies, and mappings to frameworks current for reporting
Issue & Remediation Automation
- Create issues/findings from failed tests with consistent severity and root cause coding - Sync remediation tasks and SLAs to ServiceNow or Jira; update statuses bi-directionally - Trigger re-testing workflows automatically upon remediation evidence submission
ERM & IT Risk
- Ingest risk registers and assessments; propagate KRIs/KPIs from telemetry and third-party data - Update risk scores, likelihood/impact, and mitigation ownership programmatically - Align risks to business units and processes for executive dashboards
Compliance & Evidence Orchestration
- Generate and assign PBC/evidence requests at scale with due dates and categories - Upload evidence artifacts from your product and validate completion via webhooks - Map controls to frameworks/requirements and surface compliance posture in your platform
Technical Specifications
Authentication
Username/password with MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and SSO/OAuth where enabled; supports service accounts or customer-managed credentials
Response format
JSON with consistent resource schemas and pagination across modules
Rate limits
Tuned for enterprise throughput while honoring customer entitlements and usage controls
Session management
Automatic reauth and cookie/session rotation with health checks
Data freshness
Near real-time retrieval of audits, controls, tests, issues, requests, and compliance objects
Security
Encrypted transport, scoped tokens, and audit logging; respects AuditBoard role-based permissions
Webhooks
Optional asynchronous delivery for long-running workflows (e.g., evidence submissions, issue status changes)
Latency
Sub-second responses for list/detail queries under normal load
Throughput
Designed for high-volume control/test ingestion and request/issue processing
Reliability
Retry logic, backoff, and idempotency keys minimize duplicate actions
Adaptation
Continuous monitoring for UI/API changes with rapid adapter updates
Frequently asked questions
Supergood supports workflows across commonly used modules such as SOX & Controls Management (Control Library, Certifications), Internal Audit (Workpapers, Testing, Issues), Risk Management (ERM, IT Risk), and Compliance (Framework mappings, attestations), subject to your licensing and entitlements. We scope coverage during integration assessment.
We support username/password + MFA (SMS, email, TOTP) and can operate behind SSO/OAuth when enabled. Sessions are refreshed automatically with secure challenge handling.
Yes. We can normalize issues/findings and action plans to match your ITSM and engineering schemas (e.g., ServiceNow incidents, Jira issues) and deliver updates via webhooks or polling while complying with rate and permission constraints.
Yes. We support signed uploads with checksum validation and time-limited URLs, plus resumable transfers for large evidence packages. Completion and approval states are modeled explicitly in our normalized responses.
