Not weeks. Not after a sales call. Right now.
Three things that separate us from every competitor on this page.
$399/mo. That's it. No per-user fees, no framework add-ons, no hidden annual minimum. You know exactly what you're paying before you sign up — because the price is on the website.
Connect your tools via OAuth, get a live risk score. RiskForge was designed for founders and engineering leads who don't have weeks to spend with a sales rep before seeing value.
Vanta and Drata give you pass/fail checklists. RiskForge uses machine learning to score each finding by severity and predict which gaps are most likely to cause audit failures — so your team fixes the right things first.
RiskForge has read-only access to your systems. We detect the gaps and report the proof. Your team does the fixing. We can never accidentally modify, delete, or push changes to your infrastructure.
Enterprise compliance tools add SMB pricing tiers as an afterthought. RiskForge was architected for teams that don't have a dedicated compliance officer — where the founder or CTO owns the audit prep.
SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and NIST CSF are included in all plans — not locked behind enterprise upgrades. No framework upsells. No "add-on" frameworks.
Competitors lock frameworks behind higher tiers. We include all 20 of them in every plan.
Connect your tools, get your first risk score, and have an audit-ready evidence pack — all in under 15 minutes. If RiskForge isn't the right fit after 14 days, you owe us nothing.
