The Quick Take
Cynomi is a Security Growth Platform powered by CISO Intelligence that lets MSPs deliver SOC 2, ISO 27001, and 40+ other compliance outcomes through their own practice. Your client wants audit readiness, a compliance report, confidence their controls hold up. Cynomi lets you deliver those results yourself, keeping the advisory relationship where it belongs.
Secureframe is an enterprise compliance automation platform built around audit readiness and continuous monitoring for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR. For companies with dedicated security teams, Secureframe offers a well-integrated, automation-forward experience.
Both platforms support compliance frameworks, evidence collection, and policy management. The difference is who owns the relationship. Your client buys Secureframe, they manage their own compliance. You deliver those outcomes through Cynomi, you become the compliance and strategic advisor they rely on month after month. Secureframe builds your client's software stack. Cynomi builds your practice.

G2 + Capterra
"We've increased client capacity by 40% without adding more staff, thanks to Cynomi's automation."
– G2 Review, 2025
"I have used compliance platforms from other industry leaders. While those solutions were good, they often are prohibitively expensive and they often over complicate the task at hand."
– G2 Review, Mid-Market
"Cynomi allows you to focus on security, not on a framework."
— G2 Review, Director
G2
Integrating directly with our tech stack — AWS and GitHub — means we aren’t chasing down screenshots or manual logs every time an audit window opens. The platform’s ability to map a single control across multiple frameworks saves us an incredible amount of redundant work.
– Umair K., Director of Information Technology, Mid-Market
It’s like having a consultant guide us through the processes required to achieve and maintain compliance. The system is very intuitive and it helps us see where the gaps are in our processes.

Cynomi Redefines
Compliance and Cybersecurity Management
Deliver enterprise compliance outcomes through your practice, not by sending clients to buy enterprise software.
Your Team Delivers SOC 2 Readiness, Your Client Never Learns Enterprise Software
Clients Who Buy Compliance Tools Often Leave After Certification
Automate the Advisory Layer
Answer the Question Behind the Question
One Platform Across Your Entire Client Base
Feature Deep Dives
A closer look at what each capability means for your practice.
The Client Asked for Secureframe. You Can Deliver What They Actually Need.
A client mentioning Secureframe by name has done their research. They know they need SOC 2 or ISO 27001. What they have not thought through is who will operate it. Secureframe assumes the buyer has compliance knowledge. Most SMBs do not, which is why they are talking to you.
Cynomi’s wizard-driven workflows let your team walk the client through the entire compliance journey without asking them to learn enterprise software. Partners describe it as “putting us in the expert seat very quickly.” Your client gets SOC 2 readiness. You keep the advisory engagement.
- Guided assessment workflows that produce client-ready compliance artifacts
- Visual posture scoring your client’s leadership team can actually understand
- No compliance expertise required from the client’s side
Turn a One-Time Certification Into a Recurring Relationship
Send your client to buy Secureframe directly and they achieve SOC 2, pass the audit, then face a $20K+ annual renewal for a tool they touch once a year. Continuous monitoring helps justify that for companies with dedicated compliance staff. For an SMB without that team, the renewal conversation gets difficult.
Deliver compliance as a service through Cynomi and the engagement does not hinge on a software renewal. You manage their security posture year-round, surfacing risks, updating policies, preparing for the next audit cycle. Same compliance outcome. Entirely different business model.
What this looks like in practice: Your team reviews posture scores monthly, flags risks from vendor or infrastructure changes, keeps controls current. Re-audit preparation takes hours instead of weeks because the program never stopped running.
- Continuous posture tracking that justifies ongoing advisory fees
- Automated monitoring that surfaces changes between audit cycles
- A retention model built on visible, ongoing security improvement
Where Secureframe's Automation Ends, Yours Begins
Secureframe’s Comply AI handles evidence validation, remediation guidance, and questionnaire automation across 200+ integrations. For an organization managing its own compliance, that automation is the product.
For your practice, evidence collection is one step. You also need to interpret findings, prioritize by business impact, generate executive reporting, and advise on risk. Cynomi’s CISO Intelligence automates that advisory layer: the decision-making logic of an experienced security leader embedded in your delivery. Partners report 75-80% less manual work while assessment quality goes up.
Secureframe automates compliance operations for the company doing the work. Cynomi automates the advisory expertise that makes your service worth paying for.
- Automated policy generation tailored to each client’s environment and industry
- Risk prioritization based on business impact, beyond technical severity alone
- Client-specific recommendations your team can deliver with confidence
Give Your Client a Better Answer Than Any Dashboard Can
Secureframe provides clean dashboards and continuous monitoring for internal teams. But when your client’s CEO asks “are we secure?”, they want their trusted advisor to explain what is working, what needs attention, and whether the investment is paying off. Not a dashboard login.
Cynomi translates controls, risks, and remediation progress into business language. Executive-ready reports for the conversation. Prioritized roadmaps for the plan. Because the intelligence is platform-level rather than dependent on individual expertise, every partner in your practice delivers that conversation at the same level.
- Executive reporting designed for client-facing conversations, not internal dashboards
- Posture scoring that translates to board-level risk language
- Strategic roadmaps that frame security investment as business protection
Scale Your Practice Without Scaling Your Payroll
Secureframe scales within a single organization: more frameworks, broader scope. Sensible for the enterprise buyer.
Your challenge is different: consistent compliance and security outcomes across 10, 20, or 50 clients without hiring a specialist for each one. Cynomi’s multi-tenant architecture was built for that math. Your second SOC 2 engagement takes a fraction of the first. Your twentieth follows the same quality bar as your fifth.
Partners have increased client capacity by 40% without adding staff. Next client asks about Secureframe, you already have the playbook.
- Multi-tenant architecture where each client gets a tailored program from a shared methodology
- Portfolio-level visibility that shows where your next compliance engagement is hiding
- Reusable frameworks that make each new engagement faster than the last
Which Platform Is Right for You?
Different priorities call for different tools. Here is how to know.
Cynomi may be the better fit if:
- A client has asked about Secureframe (or Vanta, or Drata) and you want to deliver that outcome yourself
- You are building compliance and security advisory services into your MSP practice
- Your clients need SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA readiness but do not have the team to operate enterprise software
- You want to turn one-time compliance projects into recurring security engagements
- You need your whole team to deliver compliance outcomes, regardless of seniority
- Portfolio growth matters: you want to scale from five compliance clients to fifty without proportional hiring
Secureframe may be the better fit if:
- You are an enterprise with an internal security or compliance team managing your own program
- You need to get audit-ready for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA as fast as possible
- Your primary goal is automating evidence collection and continuous monitoring
- You have the budget for enterprise compliance tooling
- You want 200+ integrations to connect your existing infrastructure
What Our Partners Say
Frequently Asked Questions
If the client has a dedicated compliance team and enterprise budget, Secureframe may fit. If they rely on you for security guidance, sending them to buy their own tool means losing the advisory relationship. Cynomi lets you deliver the same outcomes (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA readiness) through your practice, keeping recurring revenue in your book.
40+ frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC, NIST, PCI DSS, with automated cross-mapping across standards. Coverage is comparable. The difference: Secureframe is designed for the company to manage its own program. Cynomi is designed for you to manage it on their behalf, and brings the added benefit of being a full fledged cyber advisory and security program management platform, not just another complex GRC tool.
Secureframe typically starts around $7,500/year, median ~$20K/year based on Vendr data. Cynomi offers tiered plans with transparent pricing that scales across your portfolio. The economics differ: your platform cost is a practice expense, each client engagement generates MRR that compounds as you add clients.
This is where the models diverge most. With Secureframe, the client has a tool they may or may not keep using after certification. With Cynomi, you transition into ongoing posture management: continuous monitoring, posture scoring, regular advisory check-ins. Compliance is the entry point, not the finish line.
Most partners deliver client assessments within days of onboarding. Pre-built framework templates, guided workflows, automated policy generation. Your team does not need to build a compliance practice from scratch. Fast enough to respond to a client’s Secureframe inquiry with a credible alternative in the same conversation.
200+ integrations is one of Secureframe’s core strengths. Cynomi supports automated evidence collection from cloud and on-prem systems, focused on environments MSP clients typically run. For most SMB compliance engagements, coverage is sufficient. Cynomi has multiple deep integrations with top providers including AWS, Microsoft, Google, Nessus, Tenable, Qualys, Cavelo and more, plus a Public API for all PSAs. Where Cynomi adds value integrations alone cannot: the advisory and intelligence layer that tells your team what findings mean.
Yes. Fast time-to-value means you can run both in parallel without significant overhead. Some partners deliver new engagements through Cynomi while existing clients stay on current tools, then consolidate as contracts renew.
