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.

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.
