Both Certvik and Secureframe support ISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance automation. Here is an honest look at how they differ — particularly for organisations whose primary environment is Microsoft 365.
Secureframe is a compliance automation platform built to connect to a wide variety of cloud providers, SaaS tools, and identity systems. It is designed to give you coverage across a diverse technology stack, which makes it a strong choice for organisations running mixed infrastructure.
Certvik starts from a different premise: most growing SaaS companies and mid-market organisations run their business on Microsoft 365. Identity is Entra ID, devices are managed by Intune, security monitoring is Defender, and productivity is Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams. If that describes your environment, Certvik's native M365 integration means most of your compliance evidence already exists — it just needs to be collected, structured, and approved.
Where Secureframe treats M365 as one of many integrations, Certvik treats it as the primary source of truth. The practical difference is depth of coverage and the quality of the gap analysis you get on day one.
| Certvik | Secureframe | |
|---|---|---|
| M365 integration depth | Deep — all data from M365 Graph API, Entra ID, Intune, Defender | Broad — M365 is one of many supported platforms |
| ISO 27001 | Yes — all 93 controls, ISO 27001:2022 | Yes |
| SOC 2 | Yes — all five Trust Services Criteria | Yes |
| Evidence automation | Automated from M365; manual upload for non-M365 evidence | Automated from many sources |
| Pricing transparency | Transparent, per-module pricing on website | Quote-based |
| Best for | M365-first orgs, SaaS companies, MSPs | Multi-cloud, large enterprise, diverse tech stacks |

For M365-first organisations doing ISO 27001 or SOC 2, Certvik covers the same core workflows — evidence collection, gap analysis, approval workflows, and audit-ready reports — with a deeper native integration for Microsoft 365. If your organisation relies heavily on AWS or a wide range of non-M365 SaaS tools, Secureframe's broader connector library may cover more of your environment.
Not all compliance evidence comes from automated systems. Certvik lets you upload policies, contracts, training records, and any other documentation directly and attach them to the relevant control — with review dates, owner assignment, and the same approval workflow as automatically collected evidence.
General-purpose compliance platforms connect to M365 as one of many integrations, typically reading a limited set of data. Certvik is purpose-built for M365 — it reads across Entra ID, Intune, Defender, Exchange Online, and SharePoint via the Graph API, and maps that data to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 controls specifically. The result is a more complete gap analysis from your existing Microsoft environment.
