The key difference

Vanta, Drata, and Sprinto assume one company = one compliance program. That's fine if you're in-house. But if you manage 5, 10, or 20 clients, you need isolated workspaces, portable templates, and reports that carry your client's branding — not yours. NovaGRC is the only platform built specifically for that workflow.
