Secureframe is a security compliance and audit readiness platform that streamlines the certification process for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 by automating ongoing compliance monitoring. It covers automation of tasks associated with security compliance audibility, audit management, cloud compliance checks, vendor security and privacy assessments, third-party and supplier risk management exploration. Here is a detailed overview of how its core functions work (written in formal professional language as per your request): Secureframe aims to automate compliance for companies serving as head of reporting, so they can achieve standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS and GDPR. Integrating with popular workplace tools and platforms like Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft 365, HubSpot, Slack and Rippling among others, JupiterOne provides continuous configuration monitoring and evidence collection to spot potential non-compliance as it arises.

When it comes to audit management, Secureframe streamlines your readiness by assigning tasks to control owners and developing audit-ready reports, so you have a single source of truth for security evidence. Organizations are thus always prepared for external audits, allowing sped up certification timelines and lessening the impact of disruptions.

On the vendor security and privacy assessment side, Secureframe accelerates due diligence of third party vendors with customized questionnaires and automated risk scoring. This has the added benefit of helping organizations standardize procurement processes while ensuring they’re maintaining uniform security policies across all vendor relationships. Its capabilities for third party and supplier risk management also simplify the complication of monitoring risks to assess that regulatory requirements are being met, by offering strengths in security posture.
