It is based on the auditor’s professional judgment and is formed after the auditor has completed an audit of the company’s financial statements.

So you are weighing two modern automation platforms, Sprinto and Drata, against a heavyweight enterprise suite, MetricStream, to decide which way to move. These are not the same class of tool, and that frames the whole decision. Sprinto and Drata automate compliance for teams on a cloud stack, while MetricStream is a configurable enterprise governance system you build out over the years. So your real question is whether to move to automation that now reaches much further than it used to, or stay in heavyweight GRC and switch vendors, and the rest of this piece works through the factors that decide it.
