Arden
ActiveAI agents that automate SOX control testing.
This company has previously operated under “Veris”. A rename frequently marks a pivot in positioning or product — useful raw material for variant ideas.
About
Arden is the AI-native platform for internal audit and SOX teams. We build AI agents that automatically pull evidence from your stack, test controls end-to-end, and produce audit-ready workpapers in minutes instead of weeks. Internal audit is a massive but underserved market. Every public company in the US is required to do SOX testing, yet teams still run it through spreadsheets and screenshots. Arden is the engine that does this work.
