Vanta sells you a dashboard. Drata sells you a dashboard. Secureframe sells you a dashboard. None of them ship the layer that ACTUALLY orchestrates your audit — evidence collection, vendor risk, BAA tracking, control crosswalks. Katie builds that layer.
Honest forced-ranking of Vanta · Drata · Secureframe · Sprinto · Scytale · Scrut · Thoropass against YOUR stack and YOUR auditor — not the affiliate leaderboard.
For the controls your compliance platform doesn't cover natively. AWS · GCP · Azure · custom internal systems · whatever the auditor wants.
SOC 2 ↔ ISO 27001 ↔ HIPAA ↔ NIST CSF. One control, mapped once, evidence reused — not three separate audits.
Custom database of every third-party processor · BAA status · last review date · SOC 2 expiry. Auditor-ready.
| Tier | What you get | Cost |
|---|---|---|
