How Prova compares

Honest comparisons against every real alternative.

The SOX buyer at a 300-1,500 employee PE portco or public microcap is choosing between six real alternatives. These pages name each scenario where the competitor wins and each scenario where Prova is the decisive answer. No euphemism, no chest-puffing — the audit committee reads this page too.

Direct SOX platform comparison

Head-to-head with the SOX-native platforms and Oracle's NetSuite-embedded module. Where Prova's agent-driven testing reshapes the PCAOB AS 2201 evidence production path.

Enterprise GRC alternatives

Comparing Prova to the legacy GRC platforms Fortune 1000 audit committees standardize on. Useful framing for PE portcos that inherited an enterprise GRC posture from a pre-acquisition phase.

Consulting and baseline alternatives

Platform vs services (Protiviti, RogueWave, and equivalent SOX consulting firms) and platform vs the spreadsheet-plus-external-audit-firm baseline that roughly 40-55% of mid-market SOX programs still operate.

What Prova is, in one paragraph

Agent-driven SOX continuous assurance, priced as a departmental line item.

Prova executes SOX control tests through LLM reasoning agents that pull signals from identity, cloud, ERP, source control, and data warehouse systems read-only. Each test produces a signed evidence record with SHA-256 authenticity, preserved reasoning traces for reperformability, source-system query parameters for source reliability, and full-population coverage for completeness — the four characteristics PCAOB AS 2201 §.39 requires for evidence of control operation.

The category is “agentic SOX continuous assurance.” The positioning is AuditBoard-equivalent evidence depth at roughly 1/10 the ACV, specifically targeted at the 300-1,500 employee mid-market tier where legacy platform pricing has structurally failed the Controller + Internal Audit Director buyer. Sarbanes-Oxley Sections 302, 404, and 906 certification exposure, SEC Regulation S-K Item 308 disclosure obligations, and the PCAOB AS 2201 evidence bar all apply identically to a $400M revenue microcap as to a $5B revenue large-cap filer — Prova is built for the tier where the regulation is identical but the budget is not.

Design partner program · Cohort 1

Request a design partner slot.

Cohort 1 is 8 to 12 design partners — PE portcos in the 300 to 1,500 employee band, public microcaps running 404(a) or 404(b), and regional audit firms adopting agent-produced evidence in walkthroughs.

Design partners get concierge onboarding, a dry-run walkthrough with your external audit partner before year-end, and founder-level access to the roadmap. In exchange we ask for 60 minutes every two weeks.

We will only email you about Prova. No newsletter list, no tracking pixels, no shared contact data.
