Vanta & Drata alternative for consultants

A Vanta alternative built for people who manage other companies' compliance

Vanta and Drata are strong automated-compliance tools for in-house teams. If you're a vCISO, MSP, or consultant running programs for several clients, NovaGRC is designed around that workflow instead.

Where in-house compliance tools get awkward for consultants

One company per account

Tools built for a single organization make you juggle separate accounts, logins, and contracts for each client.

Reports carry the vendor's look

Client deliverables should look like your work, not a screenshot of someone else's product.

Compliance without the risk picture

Controls are only part of a vCISO engagement — clients also need a risk register, BIA, and continuity plans.

What's different about NovaGRC

Multi-client by design

A separate, isolated workspace for every client plus a portfolio dashboard across all of them — from one login.

White-label deliverables

Assessment reports, executive dashboards, and board packs branded per client.

Risk, BIA, and continuity included

5×5 risk register with cost-benefit analysis, business impact analysis, and BCP playbooks linked to controls.

Nine frameworks incl. AI governance

SOC 2, ISO 27001/27002, NIST CSF 2.0, HITRUST, HIPAA, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act, with cross-mapping.

Transparent, per-practice pricing

Public pricing with no per-seat multiplier, and a free Starter plan to try it.

Honest trade-off

NovaGRC does not replace automated cloud-evidence integrations. Many consultants pair it with those tools or collect evidence manually.

Frequently asked questions

Is NovaGRC a drop-in replacement for Vanta or Drata?

Not exactly. Vanta and Drata focus on automated evidence collection for a single company. NovaGRC focuses on consultants running risk, continuity, and compliance programs across many clients, with white-label reporting.

Can I use NovaGRC alongside Vanta or Drata?

Yes. Some consultants keep a client's automated evidence tool and use NovaGRC for risk, BIA, continuity, cross-client oversight, and client-facing reports.

How is pricing different?

NovaGRC publishes its pricing, has no per-seat multiplier, and offers a free Starter plan. See the pricing page for current plans.
