Our view on how audit should work.

Every SOX cycle, internal audit teams spend weeks chasing evidence across dozens of systems, manually testing controls one at a time, and formatting workpapers that their external auditor will inevitably question. The work is repetitive, high-stakes, and largely unchanged since Sarbanes-Oxley passed in 2002.

We started Arden because we believe this is a systems problem. The auditors are talented. The process they're handed is broken.

Most tools in this space automate a single step (drafting assistance here, a connector there) but leave the fundamental workflow intact. Arden is different. We built an end-to-end engine that collects evidence from any system, executes every test in your plan, and produces workpapers your external auditor will accept.

We work with businesses where security is non-negotiable. That constraint shapes everything we build.

If your team is spending months on work that should take days, we should talk.
