What is Diligent?
Diligent One connects internal audit, risk, controls, compliance and governance workflows in a cloud GRC platform. Diligent Audit supports risk-aligned planning, evidence, testing, remediation, analytics and board reporting.
Diligent One is a cloud GRC platform that connects audit, risk, controls, compliance and governance workflows. Diligent Audit supports centralized audit activity, risk-aligned planning, evidence collection, testing, findings, remediation and board reporting, giving audit leaders a shared view of work that might otherwise be managed across spreadsheets and separate systems. The platform also includes analytics, monitoring and configurable reporting capabilities for organizations seeking broader assurance coverage.
Diligent’s audit capabilities include engagement setup, risk assessment, evidence requests, control testing, workpaper review, issue tracking and reporting. Its audit agent can roll forward prior audits, draft project structures, prepare evidence requests, send follow-ups, suggest remediation actions, summarize findings and create board-ready reports. Diligent states that consequential actions require human approval, recommendations are explainable and overrideable, and activity is captured in a traceable audit trail.
Diligent sells primarily through tailored pricing rather than a public self-serve plan. The vendor describes a platform spanning audit and controls management, ACL Analytics, board management, entity management, policy and compliance, third-party management and risk intelligence. This breadth suits larger or regulated organizations seeking connected governance and assurance, while smaller audit teams may find the wider platform more extensive than their immediate requirements.

Diligent pricing
Diligent’s website directs buyers to request a tailored quote. AWS Marketplace lists selected Diligent packages with annual prices, including Board & Leadership Collaboration Essential at $48,500, Pro at $84,500 and Pro Plus at $155,500; these offerings are not universal Diligent One Audit prices. Vendr reports a $26,250 median annual contract based on 73 purchases, but that is a buyer benchmark across products rather than official entry pricing.
