Controls Intelligence™
Smarter Automation. Sharper Insight.
At Sunesis, we believe the future of compliance depends on clarity, consistency, and intelligent design.
This belief inspired Controls Intelligence™ - our proprietary cloud platform created by seasoned SOX professionals to redefine how evaluations are executed.
Controls Intelligence™ is built for governance, risk, and assurance practitioners, streamlining the most time-intensive and error-prone aspects of SOX compliance.
Grounded in the COSO model, financial-statement assertions, and the Sunesis methodology that withstands PCAOB audits, its proprietary mapping and tagging logic automatically connects controls, risks, and assertions within one integrated, transparent framework.
The result is a disciplined, traceable, and complete process - one that replaces complexity with precision and performance.
Why Sunesis Built It
Generic GRC systems weren’t designed for the realities of SOX. They require configuration and customization, rely on spreadsheets, and separate insight from action.
Controls Intelligence™ closes that gap - embedding the logic, methodology, and expertise of Sunesis directly into technology, guiding teams through a consistent and structured process.
It’s not just automation - it’s applied intelligence, born from extensive experience and designed to make compliance both stronger and simpler.
Designed by experts who understand both the rigor and rhythm of the SOX cycle, the platform feels intuitive to practitioners and powerful to executives - combining technical depth with simplicity in design.

Collaboration remains secure and simple. All documentation, evidence, and communication stay within your own SharePoint environment - ensuring sensitive data never leaves your organization. The integration enables real-time coordination without sacrificing security or control.
Data Integrity and Transparency
Every control, mapping, and version is tagged and traceable - creating a complete, auditable history and a single source of truth.
Predictive Audit Planning
Powered by our Indicators of Change framework, Controls Intelligence™ predicts where control failures are most likely to occur - enabling proactive audit planning, targeted testing, and smarter resource allocation.
Effortless Onboarding
Onboarding is simple, secure, and painless. With guided configuration and minimal disruption, clients can implement Controls Intelligence™ quickly - focusing on insight, not implementation. It’s compliance that delivers value from day one.
Intelligent Workflow and Task Automation
Controls Intelligence™ reduces manual effort through intelligent workflow logic - auto-assigning remediation tasks based on control ownership history and routing data requests or follow-ups directly to stakeholders.
Walkthroughs, testing samples, and evidence collection move automatically, ensuring completeness, accuracy, timeliness, and accountability across the process.
Real-Time Dashboards and Analytics
Executives and teams gain instant visibility into progress, coverage, and results. Insights are presented with clarity - not clutter - helping leaders make timely, informed decisions.
Reporting and Regulatory Mapping
As regulations evolve, existing controls and risks automatically map to new or changing requirements. This built-in intelligence minimizes rework, ensures ongoing compliance alignment, and supports continuous improvement.
