Diligent Audit Management AI features, pricing and GDPR (October 2026)

Diligent is a governance, risk and compliance platform used by boards, legal, compliance and internal audit teams. Its audit management software uses AI agents to set up audits, test controls, monitor risk, manage evidence requests and draft reports for boards and audit committees.

Diligent combines board management, compliance, risk, third-party risk, entity management and internal audit with analytics on one platform. The audit management solution covers planning, risk assessment, evidence management, control testing and reporting, and includes FedRAMP-authorized capabilities. Diligent reports more than 25,000 customers in over 150 countries and says 75 percent of the Fortune 500 and 700,000 directors use its products. It was named a leader in Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for governance, risk and compliance tools. The New York company is privately held by Insight Partners, Blackstone and Clearlake Capital.

• Sets up audits and tests controlsThe Audit Agent rolls forward prior audits, builds project structures, executes control tests with exception flagging and drafts documentation. Internal audit teams can set up an engagement in minutes and spend fieldwork time on exceptions.
• Runs work from plain-English promptsThe AI Orchestrator takes instructions in plain English and deploys specialized agents to complete them while keeping an audit trail. Auditors who do not write scripts can still run analyses on the full data set through natural language queries.
• Monitors risks and controlsThe Risk Agent provides continuous control monitoring and AI-accelerated risk assessments. Audit and risk functions notice control breakdowns between audits instead of only at the next scheduled review. Findings from monitoring can feed directly into the next audit plan.
• Drafts requests and board reportsAI drafts evidence requests and follow-ups, summarizes findings and remediation plans, and the Board Reporter turns findings into board-ready reports. Chief audit executives spend less time assembling audit committee packs.

• Connects internal audit with board management, so findings can flow into materials for audit committees on the same platform.
• Offers FedRAMP-authorized capabilities, which matters for public sector and other regulated customers in the United States.
• Serves more than 25,000 customers in over 150 countries, according to Diligent.

Diligent sells a broad GRC suite, so define whether you need only audit management or also board, risk and compliance modules, since pricing is by quote. Customers choose a hosting region, including Frankfurt and London, and the trust page lists ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. The DPA with EU standard contractual clauses and the subprocessor list are public. Clarify how agent actions and AI drafts are logged so audit work stays reviewable.
