Every platform gets the same five criteria: framework coverage, integrations and evidence automation, the auditor network behind it, pricing and total cost, and fit by company stage. Each assessment says where it is strong, where it falls short, and the buyer it actually fits.
The default choice for a first SOC 2, and defensible: broad integrations and a large auditor network. What you accept is a vendor that publishes almost nothing you can check, pricing included.
One of the two platforms most companies shortlist for a serious SOC 2 or ISO 27001 program. Mature and polished, provided you can absorb the custom, opaque pricing.
Runs its own offensive security rather than pointing at a partner. A penetration test, code scanning and the audit fee come inside the price, which is a real difference if your buyers ask security questions rather than certificate questions.
The only serious platform in this category built on an open-source codebase, at a fraction of incumbent pricing. Right for technical, budget-conscious teams, provided you accept a younger auditor network.
For companies that expect to run SOC 2, ISO 27001 and more alongside each other. Write a control once and it counts everywhere. It publishes no pricing and names no auditors, so both belong on your call.
