The cybersecurity and compliance firm is
helping to shape the future of security auditing with a strategic
investment in automation.
BARR Advisory today announced that it is partnering with Audora
as part of a strategic investment to expand the role of automation
in cybersecurity auditing.
The move is part of a larger effort by the cybersecurity and
compliance firm to push the industry forward by making compliance
attestation more accessible to organizations of all sizes and
supporting greater visibility into the auditing process.
“Audora’s intuitive, adaptive interface allows our team to
harness the power of automation to request evidence, execute our
test procedures, and generate audit reporting, which improves
efficiency on our end,” said Brad Thies, the CEO and founder of
BARR Advisory. “For our clients, that means increased clarity at
each step of the engagement with less paper pushing, allowing for
more actionable, transparent audits that serve as a springboard for
improving their security postures.”
Formally launched in January 2024, Audora is a web-based audit
management platform that uses automation to reduce redundancies,
improve precision, and streamline the path to cybersecurity
compliance for organizations across industries.
BARR has partnered with Audora to provide cloud service
providers with a turnkey audit experience, grounded in clarity and
transparency from start to finish. By leveraging Audora’s platform
to automate key steps in the SOC 2 attestation process, BARR
increased its overall efficiency by 30% per audit.
“As cybersecurity threats and regulations continue to grow more
complex, cloud service providers must find new and innovative ways
to stay ahead of the curve. Audora is helping us bridge that gap,”
Thies said. “Through this investment in automation, we can spend
more of our time bringing added value to our clients—empowering
them to create trust and cybersecurity resilience.”
