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.

Compliance work eats engineering time. Hyperproof exists to give that time back by automating the parts of GRC that don't need a human: pulling evidence out of GitHub, Jira, ServiceNow, Snyk, and cloud storage on a schedule, running recurring tests against high-frequency controls, and kicking off a task automatically the moment something fails instead of waiting for the next audit cycle to find out. Under the hood, Hyperproof maps one control to 160+ frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST, and others), so a control tested once can satisfy several standards instead of forcing teams to rebuild the same work per framework. AI agents handle the first pass on evidence review and gap-flagging, leaving humans to make the actual judgment calls rather than hunting down documentation. Teams using it report cutting audit prep by roughly 350 hours a year, a 66% drop in duplicate controls, and about $150K saved annually on control orchestration. It also scales to messier org charts, with the ability to scope controls by business unit or entity instead of flattening everything into one program. Built in 2018 out of the Seattle area, Hyperproof is used by engineering and security-heavy orgs like Reddit, Fortinet, Appian, and Outreach that are tired of treating compliance as a manual, spreadsheet and email process and want it to run more like the rest of their infrastructure: automated, monitored, and auditable.
