Qualys PCI vs. Hyperproof

Achieving PCI compliance is crucial for any business that manages payment card information, whether through storage, processing, or transfer, but it presents notable challenges for security teams. The Verizon Payment Security Report (PSR) 2020 indicates that only 27.9% of organizations successfully attained full PCI compliance during their interim validation in 2019, a stark decline from 52.5% in 2017. As organizations' systems evolve and expand, maintaining compliance becomes increasingly challenging. Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) encounter significant obstacles due to a lack of real-time visibility regarding assets and risks within their complex hybrid-IT environments. Additionally, the existence of disparate security solutions from multiple vendors leads to fragmented data, which complicates achieving a holistic view of overall PCI compliance and results in vulnerabilities within security and compliance initiatives. The absence of adequate automation further hinders security teams from keeping up with the demanding compliance requirements. To address these issues, the PCI Compliance Unified View dashboard presents a transparent depiction of compliance gaps and grants simplified access to pre-configured templates, profiles, and policies, streamlining the journey toward PCI compliance. By implementing this dashboard, organizations can not only refine their compliance strategies but also enhance their ability to mitigate vulnerabilities effectively, leading to a more secure operational framework. Ultimately, a proactive approach to compliance can foster trust with customers and partners alike.

Hyperproof is a compliance operations platform designed to help organizations replace reactive, manual audit prep with a continuous, well-managed program. Instead of running each regulatory framework as its own project, Hyperproof lets teams map a single control across 160-plus frameworks, so the evidence and testing already completed for one standard can count toward another, removing duplicate effort as new regulations come into scope. For business and compliance leaders, the value shows up in measurable operational gains. Customers point to a 70% lift in overall compliance productivity, close to $150K trimmed from yearly control-orchestration costs, and a 66% drop in the duplicative control work that piles up when frameworks aren't mapped together. On average, audit prep shrinks by roughly 350 hours annually. The platform's risk register gives risk owners across the business a shared place to document risks and treatment plans, giving leadership better visibility into where the organization stands at any given time rather than reconstructing that picture ahead of every audit. Hyperproof is also built to flex with organizational complexity, supporting companies with multiple business units or subsidiaries that need to scope compliance programs differently across entities rather than manage a single flat structure. Combined with integrations into commonly used business and IT systems, teams can keep compliance work embedded in their existing processes instead of managing it as a parallel, disconnected effort. Headquartered near Seattle and founded in 2018, Hyperproof is the compliance platform of choice for organizations such as Reddit, Fortinet, Appian, Outreach, and Thales as they professionalize compliance operations and reduce the resourcing burden of staying audit-ready. Best fit: compliance, risk, and operations leaders at mid-market and enterprise organizations managing regulatory complexity across multiple frameworks or business units.
