Optro Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Third-Party Risk Management Tools for Assurance Leaders

LOS ANGELES, CA - April 8, 2026 —Optro (*formerly AuditBoard), the leading AI-powered GRC platform empowering enterprises to transform risk into opportunity, today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Third-Party Risk Management Tools for Assurance Leaders, positioned the furthest on the “Completeness of Vision” axis. We believe Optro was positioned as a Leader for its intuitive AI-powered user experience, faster-than-average implementation times, and its deep alignment with legal, risk, compliance, and audit teams.

In our opinion, this recognition comes at a critical time as the shifting risk landscape drives a heightened need for enterprise-grade, third-party risk management solutions to serve complex, global organizations. Optro’s recent Risk intelligence report found 79 percent of respondents report confidence in vendor visibility, while only 59 percent of CISOs share that assessment. Nearly a third feel accountable for third-party risks they do not have the authority or capability to control.

“To us, being named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for TPRM tools validates our mission to redefine GRC through a single, AI-powered system of action,” said Happy Wang, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Optro. “We believe that this recognition reflects our commitment to providing a unified, AI-powered GRC platform, turning third-party risk into a strategic advantage for our customers.”

The announcement comes shortly after Optro was named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026. The company also recently announced new AI-powered product capabilities, including Vulnerability Risk Monitoring to boost the effectiveness of customers' risk management programs and enable them to confidently and responsibly innovate with AI. Optro also recently changed its name to reflect what its AI-powered GRC platform now enables: a single, coherent view across risk, compliance, audit, and infosec.
