RealCISO vs. HITRUST MyCSF

RealCISO is a compliance intelligence platform for two audiences: MSPs and MSSPs managing security across multiple clients, and enterprise teams running compliance in-house. It gives MSPs, MSSPs, consultants, and in-house security teams a single place to run compliance assessments, manage risk, track remediation, and demonstrate security posture to boards and auditors — without the spreadsheet chaos. Built on NIST CSF and mapped to 30+ frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and CMMC, RealCISO turns assessment data into action. Over 3,000 security providers use it to deliver vCISO services at scale. Founded by Brian Haugli — former DoD, former VP & CSO at The Hanover Insurance Group, and co-author of the NIST CSF book published by Wiley — RealCISO was built by practitioners who ran these programs manually and knew there had to be a better way.

Organizations across various sectors encounter significant hurdles in effectively managing information security risks and ensuring data governance. They are also tasked with adhering to a multitude of information protection regulations along with national and international best practices. HITRUST understands that entities, regardless of their size or geographical location, must tackle these pressing issues. The implementation of a comprehensive information management framework, along with conducting thorough and precise risk assessments, streamlining remediation activities, and effectively tracking compliance, can be resource-heavy, time-consuming, and often quite daunting. Our extensive expertise in developing frameworks, managing information risks, and ensuring compliance has been enhanced by thousands of risk assessments, resulting in a highly effective solution for managing, reporting, and evaluating information risk. In this ever-evolving landscape, organizations must proactively adapt to emerging threats to safeguard their data integrity.
