For Enterprise →

Governance, risk and compliance used to require a compliance team, a consultant on retainer, or an enterprise software budget. RealCISO changes that. The same compliance intelligence platform that MSPs and vCISOs use to run programs for hundreds of clients is available directly to the organizations who want to run their own — whether you're a 40-person company preparing for a first SOC 2 or a multi-subsidiary enterprise managing compliance across five business units.

Platform Features

Everything in One GRC Platform

Eleven capabilities that add up to a complete program — without the compliance team, the consultant, or the enterprise budget.

AI That Runs the Assessment

Answer questions about your environment. Cleo maps your answers to the right controls across any framework, scores maturity L1–L5, identifies gaps and generates a prioritized remediation roadmap in a single AI workflow. You don't need to know the framework — the platform does.

Every Framework — In One Project

NIST CSF 2.0, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, CIS Controls v8, CMMC 2.0, NIST 800-171 Rev. 3, PCI-DSS and more. Assess any — or several simultaneously. One evidence set, credited across every framework through cross-framework control mapping.

A Real Risk Register

Impact × likelihood scoring, four treatment options, and bidirectional control-to-risk mapping: when a control's maturity changes, the risks it addresses re-score. Every risk links to the Planner task that closes it and the evidence that proves it. See risk management →

L1–L5 Maturity Trajectory

A maturity score per control, rolled up to program level and tracked across quarters. Revisions seal an immutable snapshot automatically every quarter — a stamped revision with no change is as much a finding as one with changes. Show a trend line, not a checklist. How continuous assessment works →

Remediation That Doesn't Get Lost

Gaps become Planner cards with owners and due dates. Impact Simulation ranks every open gap by its computed score improvement — resource decisions grounded in projected impact, not gut feel.

Evidence That Collects Itself

Period-based evidence with Current, Expiring, Missing and Expired states. A period opening or going overdue creates a Planner card for the owner; collecting the evidence closes it. Collect once, credit everywhere. Evidence & reporting →

Continuous Compliance Integrations

Connect AWS, Azure, GCP, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta, Intune, Jamf, Iru, CrowdStrike, ConnectWise, Tenable, Qualys and Enclave. Configuration is pulled every 12 hours, snapshotted as evidence and graded by automated tests — up to 57% of a full assessment from cloud and identity alone. See every integration →

Asset Inventory

Every device, account, cloud resource and data store your integrations report, merged into one record per asset with tri-state posture — so "unreported" is never mistaken for "no". Early Access. Learn more →

Audits, Run From a Request List

Seed audit requests from your framework's assessor requirements, assign owners and due dates, and let fulfilment be computed from evidence actually collected. Export a submission package organized by request with a hashed manifest. A-LIGN auditors connect directly into the platform — rolling out to joint customers.

Trust Center — In Every Paid Plan

Publish a live compliance posture page for customers, partners, insurers and auditors, with public and gated resources, sub-processor disclosure and analytics. Competitors charge thousands for this; it's included from Essentials up. Learn more →

Vendor Risk Management

Classify vendors, send AI-scored questionnaires through a branded portal, track findings and connect vendor posture to your own controls. $100 a month as an add-on, included on Enterprise. Learn more →

Assess against any of these — or several at once in a single project. One evidence set, credited everywhere. No per-framework fees on any plan.

Questions We Get

GRC Platform FAQ

Do we need a compliance team to use RealCISO?

No. You answer plain-language questions about your environment and Cleo, RealCISO's AI reasoning engine, maps the answers to the right controls across every framework you select, scores maturity from L1 to L5, and generates a prioritized remediation roadmap. Most organizations run their first assessment the same day they sign up.

Which compliance frameworks does RealCISO support?

SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0 (and 1.1), ISO/IEC 27001:2022, HIPAA, CMMC 2.0 (Levels 1 and 2), NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 3 with SPRS scoring, NIST 800-53, CIS Controls v8 with implementation groups, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP, NIST RMF, NIST AI RMF, SEC cybersecurity rules, IRS Publication 1075, GDPR, FTC Safeguards, GLBA, NYS DFS Part 500 and more. Every framework is included in every plan — there are no per-framework fees.

What is L1–L5 maturity tracking?

Instead of a pass/fail checkbox, every control is scored on a five-level scale — L1 Ad-hoc, L2 Developing, L3 Defined, L4 Managed, L5 Optimizing — and the scores are rolled up to your program and tracked across quarters. Revisions seal a snapshot automatically each quarter (or on a cadence you choose), so you can show a board or an auditor how your posture has moved, not just where it stands today.

Can we assess multiple compliance frameworks at once?

Yes. Select several frameworks in one environment and answer each control question once. Cross-framework control mapping credits the same answer and the same evidence to every framework it satisfies — and when evidence expires, every framework that relied on it is flagged.

Is audit-ready reporting included?

Yes. Cleo generates board summaries and audit-readiness reports from live assessment data, Briefs stay current on their own, and every report version is immutably stored. Audits run from a tracked request list with fulfilment computed from the evidence actually collected, and the submission package is exported per request with a hashed manifest. A-LIGN auditors can connect directly into the platform — rolling out to joint customers now.

How much does RealCISO cost?

Prices are published. Free is $0 forever for a first assessment. Essentials is $3,600 per year, Professional $15,000, Enterprise $50,000, and Enterprise Plus is scoped to your portfolio. Trust Center is included in every paid plan, onboarding is free on every plan, and there are no per-framework add-ons. Continuous Compliance and third-party risk are $100 per month each as add-ons and included on Enterprise.
