Where TractionGRC is different

Published plans and a free tier

Free, Starter and Professional prices are on our pricing page, and the Free plan has no time limit. You can see what things cost before talking to anyone.

Security monitoring in the same product

The Security Command Center reads your Azure, Google Workspace and AWS accounts hourly and turns identity attack chains across them into incidents, mapped to the clauses they affect (Professional and above).

CMMC on published plans

Level 1 on Starter and Level 2 on Professional, with every requirement mapped to ISO 27001 so earlier work counts.

SSPA from Starter

All 63 Microsoft DPR v12 requirements with TractionAI drafting. Both products support SSPA; ours starts on the Starter plan.

TractionScore

One 0 to 100 maturity score from your documentation, risk, controls, operations, audit and cloud signals, which you can share with customers through the score registry.
