Audit-ready in months. Audit-ready every month after that. 100% pass rate across 15 live frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR and NIST CSF. Automated gap analysis when you add the next, and a dedicated ISO implementer on every plan.
| DrataStandard physical |  | |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance approach | Cloud control monitoring + evidence collection. Best for cloud-native SaaS where the primary need is continuous AWS / Azure / GCP configuration monitoring. | Compliance by design — software plus dedicated lead-implementer. Designed for all controls across a business not just technical. |
| ISO 27001 depth | Supported, but SOC 2 is the primary framework. | ISMS-native: automated Statement of Applicability and dynamic mapping across all controls. |
| Native integrations | Endpoint agent fills the device-monitoring gap. | Agentless integrations across HR, ticketing, file storage, IDP and wider business tools customers use. |
| Frameworks live | Gaps include NHS DSPT, DORA, CAF, Cyber Essentials, ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001, ISO 22301 and ISO42001 in depth. | 15 Tier 1 frameworks live, plus ISO 27701 and ISO 22301 quick-to-activate and custom options available. See full coverage below. |
| Cloud monitoring | Majority of ISO controls auto-monitored via cloud monitoring. | Deliberate non-feature. Pulls AWS Security Hub / Azure Defender output as evidence rather than duplicating monitoring — the tools you already pay for stay in place. |
| Non-IT controls (people, physical, suppliers) | Consultant-led during a 4-week ISO support window. | First-class workflow covering the 63% of ISO 27001 that isn’t technical. |
| Implementation support | 4-week UK/EMEA ISO consultant support included. | Dedicated lead ISO implementer included on every plan. Same person across the full lifecycle. |
| Continuous audit readiness | Cloud-configuration focused, running daily. Not ISMS-level rolling audit. | Controls Monitor: three automated tests (procedures, documents, evidence), live audit-readiness score, rolling internal audit across the ISMS. |
| Pricing transparency | £12k standard, £8k for under 5 employee seats. | Flat-pricing on frameworks for unlimited users. Multi-year and start-up discounts. Flexible pricing, no hidden surprises. |
| Audit pass rate | Not published. | 100% - a process outcome, not an automation claim. |

Hicomply has completely transformed the way that we manage our ISO27001 certification. We purchased Hicomply a few months before our re-certification was due. Zoe worked with us to set up everything up and show us how to use the platform most efficiently. She has been an amazing support to myself and my colleague as we navigated through this process.
"Implementing Hicomply has streamlined our compliance processes, making it more efficient to manage and maintain our ISO certifications. The platform's intuitive design and comprehensive features have been instrumental in enhancing our operational excellence."

No. Hicomply supports 15 Tier 1 frameworks, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, GDPR, ISO 42001, DORA, NHS DSPT, CAF, Cyber Essentials and the ISO 9001 family. Teams can map controls once and reuse that work across the frameworks they need.
Hicomply pricing is designed around published tiers, unlimited users and multi-year discounts. The goal is to avoid per-seat penalties, per-framework tolls and renewal surprises as your organisation grows.
Yes. A dedicated lead ISO implementer is included on every plan. Hicomply is software plus practitioner support, not a self-service tool that leaves your team alone with the audit.
Controls Monitor runs three automated tests across procedures, documents and evidence, then gives teams a live audit-readiness score. That supports rolling internal audit work instead of a last-minute scramble before recertification.
Hicomply combines rigorous ISMS structure with modern automation, cross-framework mapping, AI-assisted workflows and clear dashboards. It is built for people, process, physical and technical controls, not only policy storage.
