Audit work,
on autopilot.

Agents that pull evidence, run tests, and produce workpapers your external auditor will accept.

MITCalArden

Test controls in minutes,
not weeks.

Pulls evidence from everywhere.

Agents collect evidence like senior auditors across Okta, Workday, NetSuite, anything.

Handles the data work.

Catches format migrations, reconciles identifiers, and explains its reasoning in plain English.

Run any control.

Every control in your RCM, tested end to end with the evidence Arden gathered.

Exceptions that explain themselves.

Every claim grounded in its source. Any conclusion verifiable in seconds.

Audit-ready workpapers.

Each workpaper bundles the sample tested, evidence trail, and reviewer sign-off into one document, ready to file.

Connected to every
system you own.

Arden connects directly to enterprise systems. Computer-use agents
handle the rest across web apps, Slack, and Teams.

Arden integrates with Workday, Okta, NetSuite, AuditBoard, SAP, Salesforce, Jira, Google Workspace, ADP, Slack, ServiceNow, Azure AD, AWS, Workiva, Oracle, Snowflake, GitHub, Microsoft 365, Coupa, SailPoint.

Audit-grade security.

Read-only access.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Arden connects directly to enterprise systems like Workday, Okta, ServiceNow, and Active Directory via read-only APIs. For deeper evidence, computer-use agents navigate the web and Slack/Teams to capture screenshots, logs, and approvals. You can also upload Excel, CSV, and PDF exports. No data engineering required.

Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Arden never trains models on your data. Single-tenant deployment is available for teams with strict security requirements. SOC 2 Type I in progress.

No. Arden handles evidence collection, test execution, and workpaper generation. Your team spends time on risk assessment, advisory, and the work that actually requires judgment.

Arden generates workpapers aligned to PCAOB AS 2201 and COSO frameworks, with full evidence trails linked to source. Output format matches what your external auditor already reviews.

Yes. Arden is the testing engine, AuditBoard and Workiva are the filing cabinets. Arden pulls control definitions and prior-year results from your GRC platform, runs the testing, and writes the completed workpaper back.

Arden isn't a chat interface. It connects directly to your source systems, deploys computer-use agents to capture evidence, executes every test in your plan, and produces auditable workpapers. Every conclusion is traceable back to source evidence, with the exact field, file, and timestamp behind it.

Setup typically takes about an hour. Custom connectors or agent requests may take up to a day.
