Can Hayaiti replace Secureframe entirely?

No. We're not an evidence-automation platform. Replacing Secureframe with manual screenshots and Word documents is a step backward. We're a complement to Secureframe — the technical engineering layer underneath the evidence layer.

Can I book my pentest through Secureframe's marketplace?

You can. Secureframe partners with several pentest vendors. The marketplace adds a fee + vendor-selection cycle; the underlying pentest work is similar in scope to ours but typically without remediation PRs included. Our model bundles the fix work with the find work.

Will the Hayaiti pentest report upload cleanly to Secureframe?

Yes — we deliver the report as PDF + structured findings export. Secureframe's evidence pipeline accepts both. Most auditors want a recent pentest report uploaded as evidence; we deliver in the format they expect.

What about Secureframe's AI features?

Secureframe's AI is designed for evidence-stream gap detection (catching missing controls before the auditor does). Useful for continuous posture. Doesn't replace a pentest — different scope, different methodology, different deliverable.

How much does Secureframe cost?

Secureframe's pricing isn't public; from public patterns + customer conversations, expect $7K–$40K+ annually depending on frameworks and company size. They don't publish starting prices. We do (every Hayaiti SKU is on /pricing).

Continuous compliance posture across SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI / NIST

Pick Secureframe (or Vanta, or Drata) for continuous compliance posture, evidence automation, auditor matchmaking, and Trust Center hosting. Pick Hayaiti for the manual pentest + remediation work that goes into Secureframe as evidence. Most B2B SaaS teams pick one of (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe) for the evidence layer and add Hayaiti for the pentest itself.

We won't oversell. If Secureframeis the right answer for your situation, we'd rather you know that now — even if it costs us the lead.

Frequently asked

Hayaiti vs Secureframe — common questions

Real questions we get from teams comparing the two. If yours isn't here, we'll answer it on the 15-minute call.

Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe are direct competitors with each other. Pick whichever fits your team's preferences (interface, integrations, sales experience, AI features). Hayaiti is a different category — the manual pentest + remediation work. Most teams pick one of the three for evidence and add Hayaiti for the pentest itself.

Where Hayaiti wins

What you get with us that you don't with Secureframe

Specific, not generic. Each one of these maps to a structural difference in how the two models are built — not a marketing adjective.

We write the pentest report; Secureframe stores it.

Secureframe automates evidence collection across your AWS / GCP / IdP / HRIS / EDR / GitHub. They don't run the pentest, write the threat model, or ship the remediation PRs. We do that part. The two artifacts go into the same SOC 2 attestation package.

Fixed-price pentest with remediation included.

Secureframe's pentest marketplace adds a marketplace fee + vendor-selection cycle. Our pentest SKU is one published line item with the fix work bundled. For 1–2 pentest engagements per year, ours is usually cleaner economics.

Same humans across find + fix + retest.

Secureframe's marketplace rotates pentesters per engagement. The pentester who found your finding may not be available for retest. Our team is fixed: same engineers from finding through remediation PR through retest sign-off.

Multi-tenant isolation testing — out-of-scope for evidence platforms.

Secureframe's automation can confirm that you have access controls; it can't tell you whether tenant A can read tenant B's data via an IDOR chain or a missing RLS predicate. A pentest does. Our scope is designed around exactly those SaaS-specific gaps.

We don't bill on a marketplace fee.

Secureframe's pentest marketplace bundles vendor time with a marketplace platform fee. For organizations doing 1-2 pentests a year, paying that platform layer in addition to the pentest itself is harder to justify than a fixed-price SKU.

Where Secureframe wins

And here's where Secureframe is genuinely the better choice

We're not going to pretend they don't win some shapes of problem. If your situation matches one of these, pick them — we mean it.

Continuous evidence automation across many frameworks

Secureframe automates the evidence treadmill across SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI / NIST CSF. Connect your stack, evidence flows daily, your auditor sees it live. If you're certifying multiple frameworks simultaneously, this is what makes that achievable without a dedicated GRC hire.

AI-assisted gap detection

Secureframe's recent AI features auto-detect control gaps from your evidence stream and suggest remediation steps. Useful at scale. We don't ship that automation.

Auditor partner network + Trust Center

Secureframe partners with most major SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI auditors. They also host a Trust Center for prospects to review your security posture with live evidence. We don't ship that.

Vendor risk management at scale

Secureframe has a real VRM module — track sub-processors, automate questionnaire responses, flag third-party gaps. Worth it as you scale; not something we offer.

If any of the above describes your project, the honest move is to evaluate Secureframefirst. We'd rather you find the right fit than buy the wrong tool from us.

Migration path

Switching from Secureframe to Hayaiti

Most of the time you don't need to fully switch — you peel off the SKU-shaped slice and keep what already works. Here's the honest playbook.

1
Don't switch — run them in parallel
Secureframe and Hayaiti are different categories. Keep Secureframe for evidence automation; book Hayaiti as the manual pentest work that gets uploaded into Secureframe's evidence library.
2
Send the latest Secureframe gap report when scoping with us
If Secureframe is flagging pentest evidence as stale, or showing gaps in technical controls, we can scope a remediation-focused engagement directly against that gap list. Saves the discovery cycle.
3
Upload our pentest deliverables into Secureframe's evidence library
PDF report, structured findings export, retest sign-off — all formatted for direct upload. Your Secureframe dashboard reflects the pentest as completed evidence.
