Hyperproof vs Secureframe

Hyperproof is a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform for companies that run many frameworks at once. It was founded in 2018 by CEO Craig Unger and is based in Bellevue, Washington. It has raised $66.5 million, most recently a $40 million growth investment led by Riverwood Capital in August 2023. We found no acquisition of Hyperproof itself; in October 2025 it bought Expent.ai, a third-party risk management company. The platform manages controls, evidence, risks, audits and trust management across a library of more than 160 pre-built frameworks, and collects evidence automatically through connectors it calls Hypersyncs. Hyperproof AI, which entered early access in September 2025, recommends controls and risks, answers natural-language queries and helps validate evidence. AI Guided Experiences, launched in March 2026, added a Suggested Links agent that links controls, policies, risks, requirements and evidence, and an AI-native third-party risk product followed in April 2026. **AI compliance coverage** Hyperproof's framework library includes ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, the NIST AI RMF and the Cloud Security Alliance's AI Controls Matrix. Its site lists these by name, without describing the controls, templates or tests that come with them. **Who it's for** Mid-market and enterprise compliance teams managing several frameworks. Named customers include Reddit, Fortinet, Appian, Outreach and Thales; Appian runs 28 frameworks on it. We found no published case study for its AI frameworks.

Secureframe is a compliance automation (GRC) platform founded in January 2020 by Shrav Mehta and Natasja Nielsen. It is based in San Francisco, lists more than 200 employees across hubs in San Francisco, New York, Austin, Denver, Toronto and London, and has raised $79 million, most recently a $56 million Series B led by Accomplice in February 2022. The platform covers infrastructure monitoring, evidence collection, policy and risk management, vendor reviews and a Trust Center across more than 30 security, privacy and federal frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC and FedRAMP. Its AI features (Comply AI and Trust AI) draft questionnaire answers, suggest control mappings, score risks, pull answers from vendor SOC 2 reports, generate infrastructure-as-code fixes and check uploaded audit evidence. Its MCP server lets AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor read compliance data. **AI compliance coverage** Secureframe added NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 support in May 2024; its framework pages describe policy templates, pre-built tests, continuous monitoring and AI risk management for each. It says it added full support for the EU AI Act in September 2025, but has no dedicated EU AI Act page describing what is included. **Who it's for** Startups and mid-market companies, including defense contractors through its Defense plan, that want a published starting price. The case studies we found cover security and privacy frameworks, not AI governance.
