Fractional CISO releases SOC 2 Software Vendors White Paper

Published on 24th June 2021 Author: Blane Erwin

With over a dozen entries into a market that didn’t even exist a decade ago, it’s hard to make sense of all that’s happening in the SOC 2 software space.

To help business leaders understand this rapidly-evolving space, Fractional CISO has released a white paper that evaluates and compares 10 of the most prominent companies in the space.

“Many of our clients are asking us what tool they should be using to help prepare for their SOC 2 audits. My answer is: it depends!” said Rob Black, founder and managing principal of Fractional CISO. “Many of these tools have different capabilities that may or may not suit the needs of every business.”

Evaluated products include Drata, JupiterOne, LogicGate Risk Cloud, Ostendio MyVCM, Shujinko AuditX, Secureframe, Strike Graph, Tugboat Logic, Vanta, and Reciprocity’s ZenGRC.

Each of the vendors was evaluated and ranked as either one of today’s leaders or one of today’s contenders in the space.

“This white paper will provide a lot of value to companies that are preparing for their first SOC 2 audit,” said Black. “It will make it easier for business leaders to select the right tool for their needs.”
