Compare Folksoft vs. RealCISO

Folksoft is an independent compliance platform designed specifically for startups, integrating AI-driven automation with professional governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) assistance. It enables teams to identify compliance deficiencies, gather evidence, create control mappings, address problems, and maintain readiness for audits across various standards such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, and CIS Controls, ensuring they are always prepared for regulatory scrutiny. Additionally, it streamlines the entire compliance process, making it efficient and less burdensome for growing organizations.

RealCISO is a compliance intelligence platform for two audiences: MSPs and MSSPs managing security across multiple clients, and enterprise teams running compliance in-house. MSPs, MSSPs, and security consultants use it to run compliance assessments, manage cyber risk, track remediation, and report to boards — all in one place. Assessments map directly to NIST CSF, SOC 2, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, CIS Controls, CMMC, and 30+ other frameworks. Instead of months of spreadsheet work, clients get a clear picture of where they stand and what to fix — in days. Over 3,000 security providers rely on RealCISO to deliver vCISO services at scale. Built by practitioners. Founded by Brian Haugli — former DoD, former VP & CSO at The Hanover Insurance Group, CISSP, and co-author of the NIST CSF book published by Wiley.
