Sprinto vs Thoropass

Sprinto is a compliance automation (GRC) platform founded in 2020 by Girish Redekar and Raghuveer Kancherla. It operates from Bengaluru and San Francisco through Sprinto Technology Private Limited and Sprinto, Inc. It has raised $31.8 million, most recently a $20 million Series B led by Accel in April 2024, and says more than 4,000 companies use it. The platform automates continuous monitoring, evidence collection, policies, risk and vendor management and audit preparation through 300+ integrations. Sprinto says 25+ frameworks are automated out of the box and 200+ are digitized, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR and PCI DSS. In March 2026 it announced an Autonomous Trust Platform of software agents that refresh evidence, run vendor due-diligence questionnaires and track control gaps to closure; its AI Playground lets teams build their own agents without code. **AI compliance coverage** Sprinto has a dedicated ISO/IEC 42001 offering with policy templates, control coverage, continuous monitoring and expert guidance, and detects AI tool use across browser extensions, managed devices, integrations and SSO sign-ins. Its EU AI Act material is a free applicability checker and a landing page promising automated AI risk classification; the NIST AI RMF is mentioned only as a control set it maps from. AI Governance is sold as an add-on. **Who it's for** Startups and mid-market companies that need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 and want ISO 42001 on the same platform. Named customers include WeWork, Anaconda and Whatfix.

Thoropass, which started as Laika, combines a compliance platform with its own auditors, so one company can prepare a customer for an audit and then perform it. It was founded in 2019 and is based in New York, with Sam Li as CEO and co-founder. It has raised about $98 million, most recently a $50 million Series C led by Fin Capital in November 2022. Audits run through Laika Compliance, LLC, a licensed CPA firm doing business as Thoropass Assurance, and in September 2026 a subsidiary, Thoropass Certification LLC, was accredited to perform ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification audits. We found no acquisition or merger; its September 2026 announcement still names Thoropass, Inc. as the parent. Thoropass says it covers more than 30 frameworks, including SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, PCI DSS, HIPAA and CMMC, and also sells penetration testing, including tests of AI tools. Its AI features include First Pass AI, which pre-screens evidence before an auditor reviews it, and generative AI for due diligence questionnaires. **AI compliance coverage** Thoropass supports ISO/IEC 42001 readiness with policies, control sets and guided AI system impact assessment workflows, and says its ISO-qualified auditors are kept separate from implementation support. It doesn't list the EU AI Act or the NIST AI RMF. **Who it's for** Companies that want readiness and the audit itself from one vendor. Named customers include Nord Security, AcuityMD, PhysicsX and Access Group.
