Secureframe

Secureframe is a compliance automation platform that helps companies achieve and maintain SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR certifications by automatically collecting evidence, monitoring security controls, and managing the audit process — targeting growth-stage SaaS companies that need compliance certifications to close enterprise deals. Founded in 2020 by Shrav Mehta and Natasja Nielsen in San Francisco, Secureframe has raised approximately $79 million and competes in the crowded compliance automation space as an alternative to the market leaders Vanta and Drata.\n\nSecureframe integrates with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), identity providers, HR systems, and endpoint management platforms to automatically collect compliance evidence on an ongoing basis. The platform maps this evidence to compliance control frameworks and notifies security owners when controls fall out of compliance between audits. The automated monitoring reduces the periodic scramble to compile evidence before annual audits, replacing it with continuous compliance tracking. Secureframe's Comply AI uses AI to generate security policies, questionnaire responses, and risk assessments based on the company's infrastructure profile.\n\nIn 2025, Secureframe competes for market position against Vanta (the category leader), Drata, Sprinto, Tugboat Logic (OneTrust), and Thoropass in the compliance automation market. The market has grown as enterprise procurement requires SOC 2 as a baseline vendor security requirement and as companies expand globally with GDPR requirements. Secureframe differentiates through its human review layer (the company reviews customer compliance programs, not just software automation) and its AI-powered policy and questionnaire generation. The 2025 strategy focuses on growing its enterprise segment, expanding to more compliance frameworks, and deepening AI capabilities for compliance gap analysis.
