04Sourced 2025-2026 signals

What's new at Secureframe (2025-2026, sourced)

These sourced updates were researched on 2026-07-05 and are listed separately from the live comparison table so existing profile claims remain unchanged.

Recent developmentSource: secureframe.com

On March 10, 2026, Secureframe launched "Secureframe Defense," described as an end-to-end AI-powered platform for CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) certification aimed at Defense Industrial Base organizations — a new market lane not covered in the existing profile, which focuses only on SOC 2/ISO 27001/HIPAA/GDPR. The vendor claims it can deploy a CMMC-compliant infrastructure enclave in under 30 minutes and cut certification timelines from a traditional 12-18 months to 4-8 weeks; this is a vendor marketing claim, not independently verified.

Additional capabilitySource: secureframe.com

Secureframe now publicly lists out-of-the-box support for ISO/IEC 42001 (the AI management system standard) with automated integration tests and real-time nonconformity alerts, extending its AI-governance framework coverage beyond the EU AI Act support already noted in the existing FAQ.

Secureframe's own pricing page (as of mid-2026) now names three specific quote-based packages — Fundamentals, Complete, and Defense (the last tied to the new CMMC product) — with no public list price on any tier, consistent with (not a contradiction of) the existing claim that Secureframe does not publish self-serve pricing. Separately, third-party deal-data aggregator Vendr reports a median real-world annual contract value of $20,000, ranging from roughly $7,733-$32,575/year for smaller deployments up to $55,000-$80,000+/year for large, multi-framework enterprise deployments — a more specific pricing signal than currently in the file.

Review signalSource: g2.com

Secureframe holds a 4.7/5 rating across 804 reviews on G2 (as of mid-2026), a substantially larger independent review sample than the Capterra data already cited in the file (4.8/5 from 58 reviews, essentially unchanged from the 55 previously recorded). Search summaries of G2 feedback indicate the most consistent negative theme is renewal-time price increases when headcount grows or a second compliance framework is added.

08Ireland & UK

Secureframe vs Acompli for RoPA in Ireland and the UK

GDPR framework support is not the same as a maintained Article 30 record. Irish and UK teams need controller and processor records, purposes, categories, recipients, transfers, retention and safeguards that can be explained to the DPC or ICO.

For both Secureframe and Acompli, buyers should ask to see entity-scoped exports, reviewer history, source evidence and how EU GDPR and UK GDPR records are separated in practice.

  • EU GDPR Article 30(1) and Article 30(2) controller and processor records.
  • UK GDPR Article 30 documentation and ICO guidance fit.
  • Irish DPC accountability expectations and exportable evidence for each legal entity.

09Shortlisting notes

When Secureframe belongs on the shortlist

Secureframe should remain on the shortlist when its published market lane, product strengths and buyer fit match the requirement.

Acompli should be evaluated only where its own workflow coverage matches the requirement; this page is intended to show overlap and gaps, not to force a universal replacement narrative.

  • Shortlist Secureframe when security compliance, automated evidence collection and trust-centre readiness are the primary requirement.
  • Shortlist Acompli when the buyer needs privacy records, approval workflows and Article 30 outputs rather than framework evidence.
  • Ask each supplier to demonstrate the same workflow using current product screens, exports, review history and implementation assumptions.

Acompli answers

Acompli as a Secureframe alternative

Who are Secureframe's competitors?

Secureframe's closest competitors are usually compliance automation and trust platforms such as Vanta, Drata, Sprinto and Scrut. Acompli only competes when the buyer is comparing security compliance automation against privacy governance records such as RoPA, DPIA, vendor and risk workflows.

Is Acompli a good Secureframe alternative?

Acompli is a good Secureframe alternative only when the requirement is privacy governance rather than security compliance automation. It does not replace Secureframe for SOC 2, ISO 27001 or trust centre workflows, but it does provide privacy workflows, approvals, evidence and Article 30 exports.

Does Acompli replace Secureframe?

Not for full compliance automation or trust-centre use cases. Acompli can replace Secureframe only for privacy-team workflows such as RoPA, DPIA, vendor records, data mapping and privacy risk where source evidence and human approval matter more than security-framework breadth.

Does Secureframe support GDPR?

Yes. Secureframe publicly describes GDPR framework support. The comparison question is whether the buyer needs GDPR as part of broad compliance automation or privacy-specific Article 30, DPIA, DSAR and risk records.

What is the best Secureframe alternative for privacy teams?

The best Secureframe alternative for privacy teams is Acompli when the target outcome is a defensible Article 30 record, DPIA archive, privacy risk register or vendor record. Secureframe is stronger when the target outcome is security framework readiness and customer trust evidence.

Can Secureframe and Acompli work together?

Yes. Secureframe can manage security compliance evidence and trust posture while Acompli governs the privacy record that results: assessments, Article 30 entries, risks, vendor decisions and exports.

What is Secureframe's implementation timeline for SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

Third-party sources report typical timelines of 6-8 weeks for SOC 2 Type I, 3-12 months for SOC 2 Type II, and 8-16 weeks for ISO 27001 with Secureframe's guided implementation support. Acompli is not a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 platform, so this comparison is not directly relevant - but buyers evaluating both for GDPR readiness should note that Acompli's scope is privacy records, not security framework certification timelines.

Does Secureframe support the EU AI Act?

Yes - Secureframe supports the EU AI Act as a compliance framework, automating evidence collection, control mapping, and policy templates against EU AI Act requirements. Acompli approaches AI governance differently: it is built around per-system AI Act assessments with a human reviewer approval gate, and those approved assessments feed directly into the Article 30 RoPA record. If the buyer needs audit-ready EU AI Act control evidence, Secureframe is a strong fit. If the buyer needs governed AI system records with a reviewable decision trail linked to Article 30, Acompli is the better fit.

Can Secureframe manage a GDPR Article 30 Record of Processing Activities?

Secureframe supports GDPR as a compliance framework, mapping controls and collecting evidence against GDPR requirements. There is no public evidence that it produces or maintains a maintained Article 30 Record of Processing Activities as a governed privacy record. Acompli is purpose-built for Article 30: assessments feed RoPA entries, each entry carries source evidence, reviewer decisions, supplier context, transfer safeguards and data mapping, and outputs a regulator-ready export for the DPC or ICO. The distinction is framework compliance automation versus a maintained privacy record.

What recent pricing signal is available for Secureframe?

Secureframe's own pricing page (as of mid-2026) now names three specific quote-based packages — Fundamentals, Complete, and Defense (the last tied to the new CMMC product) — with no public list price on any tier, consistent with (not a contradiction of) the existing claim that Secureframe does not publish self-serve pricing. Separately, third-party deal-data aggregator Vendr reports a median real-world annual contract value of $20,000, ranging from roughly $7,733-$32,575/year for smaller deployments up to $55,000-$80,000+/year for large, multi-framework enterprise deployments — a more specific pricing signal than currently in the file.
