"Clear Security Framework Control Breakdown"

4/5

What do you like best about Apptega?

The breakdown of the different controls based on which security framework is being used. Allows answers and evidence from different frameworks to map to new frameworks, CISV8 to SOC2 Type2 with answer and evidence transitioning over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

The site is very slow when moving between controls on the same page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Allowing for readiness reviews of different audits such as SOC2 Type2 and / or ISO 27001. It allows to identify gaps in controls before having a 3rd audit performed. Allows for Vendor security questionnaires to be sent out at the same time so a common deadline can be met for review. Allows for security questionnaire to be the same when sent to different vendors, having good control over the list of questions and requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kyle, thank you so much for the review! We’re glad to hear that control mapping across frameworks, like moving from CIS v8 to SOC 2 Type II, is helping streamline your compliance efforts and reduce duplicate work.

We also appreciate your feedback on platform speed. We’re actively working to improve functionality and overall performance for a smoother experience. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to your Customer Success Manager with any questions on specific functionality and where it sits in the roadmap.

"Streamlined Compliance and Cybersecurity Made Effortless with Apptega"

5/5

What do you like best about Apptega?

The Apptega platform helps our organizations streamline their ongoing cybersecurity and compliance efforts. It automates and simplifies managing and reporting on these programs, reducing manual work, and allowing teams to more quickly identify and prioritize risks and communicate those to leadership. The ability to manage multiple compliance frameworks like NIST, CMMC, GLBA, etc. and map common controls allows organizations to crosswalk programs and gain a holistic view of compliance status to make strategic and informed decisions.

During compliance assessments and/or security audits, the platform automates evidence collection, reducing the burden on staff, and ensuring that evidence is readily available for audits. Evidence is directly linked to specific controls from NIST 800-171, HIPAA, etc., and can be uploaded to the platform or linked to internal resources like SharePoint. Specific tasks like vulnerability scans or the collection of compliance documentation can be assigned to team members and set up with reminder notifications based on ongoing recurrence or due dates. We are able to eliminate the various spreadsheets we were using before to track compliance programs and tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

Because of all of the features/functionality that can be utilized within the Apptega platform, determining how to initially configure and deploy the platform can be a bit daunting. However, the Apptega Customer Success Team is very engaged and is dedicated to helping organizations understand how best to implement the tool. They are a great resource and share strategies based on lessons learned from other organizations, so our organizations can start realizing the value of the platform almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our organizations are utilizing Apptega to manage their compliance and security programs, risk management, third-party oversight and vendor management, as well as document/policy management. Having the ability to access each of these modules in one tool and easily define access roles quickly demonstrates the return on investment with Apptega. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apptega Is Effective at Improving GRC Capabilities"

5/5

What do you like best about Apptega?

What I like best about Apptega is the customer success team that it makes available to me. It is very clear to me that Apptega wants my organization to succeed in using all the bells and whistles that the Apptega GRC tool offers. I have regular interactions with the customer success manager that was assigned to me and I know that each time I reach out with a question I will receive a very quick response. I am very impressed with the professionalism and care that Will, my customer success manager has shown over the past year. On a side note, I also like that each year we track and assess my Apptega goals - this means that the Apptega personnel understand my specific needs and we get to prioritize those features - which helps my organization in accomplishing our roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

Initial setup requires proper configuration of SSO & Apptega user roles. Once that is accomplished, the tool is very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

My organization previously struggled to maintain visibility and documentation of key GRC information. However, now that we implemented Apptega we are able to effectively document and track: 1) our security risks; 2) our listing of third-party vendors and carry out assessments; 3) manage ITGC audit work; 4) assess ourselves throughout the year using leading security frameworks; and 5) download and share key reports and dashboards with stakeholders. Overall, the tool has greatly improved our GRC abilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Luis, thank you for the great review! We’re so happy to hear that our Customer Success team has been such a strong partner and that the regular check-ins and goal planning have helped keep your GRC program aligned with your roadmap.

We appreciate your feedback on SSO and role setup. Our team is always happy to provide guidance during setup to make sure everything is configured correctly from the start. If you need any additional support, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager - we're happy to help!

"Excellent platform for juggling multiple compliances with minimal effort"

5/5

What do you like best about Apptega?

The harmonizing of frameworks means answering one thing can check the box in multiple compliances. The shared evidence store saves hundreds of hours and allows updating of evidence one time - so all the places that use it. The shared resources also apply to the risk register, vendors, and controls.

Assigning tasks to other staff overcomes one of the primary problems with compliance - getting other departments to help out with their parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

It doesn't read evidence/policies to produce AI-suggested recommendations. The recommendations are based upon training from public analysis of that item in a particular framework. i.e., the recommendation is good but not tuned to your particular organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Any single compliance framework is a lot of work to get ready for the audit. When you have multiple compliance requirements or frameworks the management, gathering of evidence, synchronizing changes becomes exponentially more difficult. This keeps everything in sync and under control, saving many hours of work and worry.

It is also very useful to see how much effort would be involved in adding another compliance or framework. i.e., with ISO 27001 completed, how far are we along the journey with NIST CSF? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Elisa Ng of Apptega

edit

Alan, thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We love hearing how much value you’re getting from framework harmonization, shared evidence, and centralized resources across controls, risks, and vendors. It’s also great to hear that task assignments and collaboration features are helping bring other departments into the compliance process and saving your team significant time and effort.

We also appreciate your feedback on AI recommendations. We’ve recently made a major upgrade to Apptega’s AI recommendations. They are now generated using the full control language and authoritative framework references, not just the assessment question, and we’ve upgraded the underlying model from ChatGPT-3 to ChatGPT-5.2. As a result, recommendations are now framework-faithful, more prescriptive, and audit-ready, preserving differences between standards like HIPAA, CMMC, and GDPR. While they are still intentionally framework-driven (not generated from customer evidence), the guidance is now detailed enough to stand on its own.

"Centralized GRC Management Made Easy with Apptega"

5/5

What do you like best about Apptega?

Apptega is a platform that supports our organization in managing governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) activities. It has helped us move away from manual processes like spreadsheets and scattered documents by offering a centralized environment for handling NIST 800-171, CMMC, and other audit requirements. The platform enables us to track risks, collect evidence, and monitor compliance on an ongoing basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

We have been using Apptega for about a year now. The platform is very user-friendly, which made it relatively easy for us to consolidate our compliance efforts. While we have encountered a few technical difficulties—as is common with any technology—Apptega's support team has been outstanding, always addressing our issues promptly. At this time, I don't have any complaints or dislikes to mention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega is helping us solve the challenge of organizing and maintaining compliance across multiple frameworks—specifically NIST 800-171 and CMMC—by replacing manual, disconnected processes with a centralized and structured platform. It gives us clear visibility into our compliance posture, simplifies evidence collection, and streamlines audit preparation. By consolidating risks, controls, tasks, and documentation in one place, Apptega reduces administrative overhead and enables our team to focus on remediation and continuous improvement rather than chasing data across multiple systems.

Ken, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! It’s great to hear that Apptega has helped you move away from spreadsheets and scattered documents and into a more centralized, manageable approach for NIST 800-171, CMMC, and other frameworks.

We’re glad the platform is giving you clear visibility into your compliance posture and making evidence collection and audit preparation easier; that’s exactly what we aim to deliver! We also truly appreciate your kind words about our support team and are happy to hear they’ve been responsive and helpful throughout your journey.

"Comprehensive GRC Platform with Constantly Evolving Features"

5/5

What do you like best about Apptega?

Apptega is a comprehensive GRC platform that consistently introduces new features and functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

Accessing the full range of features might necessitate a support session, as administrators within the program are unable to enable everything themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega enables us to oversee cybersecurity compliance for our customers all in one centralized platform. As a comprehensive GRC tool, it offers features such as change tracking, policy management, third-party risk management, and a customizable risk register, among many others. My team relies on this product daily, and we are continually impressed by how user-friendly it is. So far, we have not encountered any missing features or functionalities that aren't already planned for future updates, and new features are released both frequently and reliably. I can't even begin to estimate how many hours we've saved since adopting Apptega. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We also appreciate your feedback around feature access.

Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager - we would love to learn more on how we can help!

"Using Apptega has transformed our processes."

5/5

What do you like best about Apptega?

What I like best about Apptega is how it brings all of our cybersecurity and compliance work into one place. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and separate tools, our entire program, including frameworks, controls, assessments, and reporting, lives in a single, easy-to-navigate platform. The most helpful part of Apptega is its ability to streamline project tracking and evidence collection. We can easily assign owners, set timelines, upload supporting documents, and monitor progress from one dashboard. This turns what used to be a scattered, manual process into a clear, auditable workflow that keeps everyone aligned and accountable. The dashboards and scoring tools also make it simple to show leadership where we stand and what gaps need attention. The biggest upsides are time savings, better visibility, and improved collaboration. Apptega gives us a living system of record rather than static documents, so updates and evidence stay current. It also simplifies communication with executives, auditors, and clients by turning complex compliance data into clear, visual reports. Ultimately, it helps us mature our security program faster and with less administrative overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apptega?

While Apptega has been a major improvement over manual processes, there are a few areas where it could grow. Some configuration options and workflows can feel rigid at first and require extra time to customize to our exact needs. The reporting and export functions, although useful, could be more flexible and allow for deeper customization to match specific executive or board requirements.

Despite these points, Apptega’s support team is responsive and often incorporates customer feedback into updates, which makes us optimistic about continued improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apptega solving and how is that benefiting you?

Apptega has eliminated the need to manage our cybersecurity and compliance program with scattered spreadsheets, emails, and manual trackers. By centralizing frameworks, controls, evidence, and project tracking in one platform, it gives us a single source of truth for our security posture. This solves the challenge of keeping multiple teams aligned, maintaining version control on documentation, and ensuring timely updates to our program. The benefit to us is increased efficiency, clearer visibility for leadership, and improved accountability across the organization. We save significant time during audits, risk assessments, and executive reporting because the data we need is already organized and up to date. This allows our team to focus more on improving security rather than on administrative tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
