Case Study: Sonic Automotive achieves unified multi‑org GRC, automated compliance and reduced audit costs with ProcessGene GRC Software Suite

Sonic Automotive - Customer Case Study

Sonic Automotive (NYSE: SAH), a Fortune 500 automotive retailer with 136 subsidiaries, needed to manage corporate governance, SOX/internal audit, regulatory compliance and IT‑GRC across a complex, multi‑entity organization. The company required consistent enforcement and reporting, better visibility into subsidiary activities, and a way to reduce manual audit and control effort while retaining objective, auditable evidence of compliance.

Sonic implemented the ProcessGene GRC Software Suite to create a unified multi‑org GRC infrastructure that centralized control, standardized compliance language and reporting, and automated control execution, audit workflows and approval processes. The solution improved visibility and cross‑organizational benchmarking, streamlined internal audit and remediation, enabled centralized IT‑GRC with subsidiary flexibility, and reduced the time and cost of compliance while producing higher‑quality, auditable results.
