Overview
SAI360 is a Chicago-based governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform that includes an internal audit management module alongside enterprise risk, policy management, third-party risk, incident management and regulatory compliance modules on shared infrastructure. The company traces its GRC lineage to SAI Global, which acquired the Netherlands-based GRC vendor BWise in 2019 and later rebranded the combined risk and compliance business as SAI360. SAI360 was acquired by private equity firm Symphony Technology Group (STG) in December 2022; it divested its EHS and Sustainability business to Evotix in 2024 and acquired regulatory-tracking vendor Plural Policy in December 2025.
The internal audit module supports risk-based audit planning and scoping using prior ratings and risk factors, configurable workflows that carry an audit from planning through fieldwork, findings and reporting, and drillable dashboards covering audit status, audit plans, ratings and entities audited. Because it sits inside the wider SAI360 platform, audit data can be linked to the same risk registers, policies and third-party assessments used by the compliance and risk modules, rather than living in a separate audit-only tool.
SAI360 documents prebuilt integrations to ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday, Infor and Unit4, plus HR systems (ADP, BambooHR), productivity tools (Microsoft 365, SharePoint, DocuSign) and an open API for other third-party connections. Case studies published by SAI360 name customers including Stewart Title, Prime Therapeutics, SIGNAL IDUNA and Robeco for GRC and audit-related use, and Kraft Heinz, Henry Schein and Colgate-Palmolive for ethics and compliance training.
