RealCISO vs. Isora GRC

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.

The collected qualitative and quantitative survey data can be automatically scored and aggregated for comprehensive analysis. Users can generate dynamic risk reports, with the risk map serving as a valuable tool to pinpoint high-risk areas within the organization. Furthermore, the trend graph provides insights into how risk scores evolve over time, allowing for effective monitoring. To enhance data usability, the RESTful API makes it simple to export raw data into analytics platforms like Microsoft PowerBI, ensuring that organizations can leverage their risk assessment data effectively. This comprehensive approach not only simplifies the assessment process but also empowers organizations to make informed decisions based on their risk profiles.
