Frequently asked questions
How much does Secureframe cost?
Secureframe publishes a starting price of $7,500 per year for its Fundamentals package, which covers infrastructure monitoring, custom frameworks and tests, evidence collection, personnel and risk management, policy management and the Trust Center. The Complete and Defense packages are quote-only and add advanced third-party risk, advanced user access reviews, SSO/SCIM, custom integrations and CMMC-specific tooling. Additional workspaces are sold as an add-on. Confirm final pricing with sales, as only the Fundamentals starting price is published.
How quickly can we get compliant with Secureframe?
Time to value depends on scope and framework. Secureframe's customer stories cite an SOC 2 report in as little as six days for a two-person AI startup, SOC 2 Type I in three months at Kinectify with roughly five hours to reach Type II readiness, and an energy startup reaching SOC 2 Type 2 twelve weeks faster than its previous plan. Most organisations should still plan several weeks for scoping, integrations and evidence review.
Does Secureframe support CMMC and defense contractors?
Yes. Secureframe markets a Defense package built for the Defense Industrial Base, adding a SPRS score tracker, system security plan, plan of action and milestones, automated SSP implementation statuses, a managed CUI enclave, managed virtual desktops and CUI vendor management on top of the Complete package. CMMC is one of the frameworks it automates alongside SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR and NIST.
Which systems does Secureframe integrate with?
Secureframe advertises more than 300 native integrations for automated evidence collection and continuous monitoring, including AWS, AWS GovCloud, Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace, Office 365, Jira, GitHub, Datadog, CrowdStrike, Okta-class SSO providers, ADP, 1Password, Wiz, Snyk, Slack, Microsoft Teams, HubSpot and Salesforce. Custom integrations and the Secureframe API cover anything not in the library, and custom integrations are available on the Complete package.
Is Secureframe itself compliant with SOC 2 and ISO 27001?
Secureframe's own security page states that it undergoes regular independent third-party penetration testing and security reviews designed to be SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant, follows an information security program based on ISO 27001 and SOC 2 criteria, encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2 and at rest with AES, and is in full compliance with GDPR with support for data deletion. No public claim is made for HIPAA, FedRAMP, ISO 42001 or CMMC certifications of the vendor itself.
What AI capabilities does Secureframe include?
The vendor page describes AI-powered capabilities for streamlining compliance tasks, listing Secureframe AI, Comply AI for Remediation, Comply AI for Risk and Questionnaire Automation, used to automate manual security, risk and compliance work such as remediation guidance and security questionnaire responses. Secureframe does not publicly state which model providers it uses, whether customers can bring their own keys, how AI usage is logged, or how AI is priced, so those points should be confirmed directly with the vendor.
