Looking for a Hyperproof alternative? Done-for-you compliance, not just an audit-prep workflow.
Hyperproof is a strong control-mapping and audit-prep platform built for established compliance teams. ComplianceArmor delivers the finished documentation package, written by four CMMC Registered Practitioners, with the C3PAO fee disclosed up front, a fixed flat fee, and no per-seat subscription.
ComplianceArmor vs Hyperproof, side by side.
Hyperproof is built for established multi-framework compliance teams that need a control-mapping engine and an audit-prep workspace. ComplianceArmor is built for the buyer who needs the SSP, POA&M, and policies authored for them, on a fixed price, with the assessor fee on the same card.
| Dimension | ComplianceArmor | Hyperproof |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery model | ✓Done-for-you. Humans write the SSP, POA&M, and 14 policies. | ✕Self-serve SaaS. Workflow tooling shows you the steps; your team authors the artifacts. |
| Pricing model | ✓Fixed flat fee, one-time. From $6,997 (CMMC L1), from $24,997 (CMMC L2 docs). | ✕Per-seat / per-user annual subscription. Custom-quoted, mid-market range typically $30K to $75K per year. |
| Renewal behavior | ✓No auto-renewal. No multi-year lock-in. | ✕Multi-year SaaS terms common. Renewal escalators reported by third-party benchmarks. |
| C3PAO / audit fee transparency | ✓$30K to $50K C3PAO fee disclosed on every pricing card. | ✕Audit fees rarely surfaced inside the platform quote. |
| Document ownership | ✓Editable PDF, HTML, CSV, ZIP. Yours forever, no DRM. | ●Platform-bound workspace. Export available during term; post-cancel access varies. |
| CMMC depth | ✓Four in-house CMMC RPs. C3PAO-formatted SSP, SPRS, POA&M, plus assessor-tested narrative depth. | ●CMMC supported as one of many frameworks. Defense-specific scoping handled by a partner / consultant network. |
| Cross-framework crosswalk | ●Eight productized frameworks (CMMC, NIST 800-171, HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, NIST CSF, FTC Safeguards, CCPA). Crosswalk done by humans during scoping. | ✓Strong control-mapping engine. Real value when you operate 4+ frameworks at once with a dedicated team. |
| Continuous control monitoring | ●Not the core product. Tier 2 managed service adds 24/7 SOC + SIEM + EDR for that role. | ✓Core strength. Continuous monitoring and recurring evidence-collection flows. |
| Best buyer profile | ✓Defense, healthcare, retail, and SMB clients (25 to 500 employees) who need humans to write the documents. | ✓Mid-market and enterprise compliance teams (100+ employees) running multiple frameworks year-round. |
| Audit-Ready Promise | ✓Gaps fixed free within 30 days. 50% refund if certification fails because of our work. | ✕SaaS subscription terms only. No service-level recourse on assessment outcomes. |

Five structural differences for the defense or healthcare SMB buyer.
No SaaS competitor in the category combines done-for-you delivery, fixed flat pricing, total-budget transparency, and document ownership in a single engagement. The differences below are operating-model decisions, not feature gaps.
Four CMMC-RPs author the package. Not your team.
Hyperproof shows your team a workflow: scope the engagement, map the controls, gather evidence, prep for the audit. The platform does not author your SSP narratives, your POA&M, or your 14 policies. ComplianceArmor is a different operating model: the RP-credentialed team writes the documents for you, scoped to your environment. Your team supplies inputs and reviews drafts.
Published prices, no per-seat math, no auto-renew.
Hyperproof is per-user / per-seat SaaS, custom-quoted in the mid-market range and typically structured as a multi-year agreement. ComplianceArmor publishes flat fees per SKU: $6,997 for CMMC L1, $24,997 for CMMC L2 Tier 1, $7,997 for HIPAA, $9,997 for PCI DSS v4, $14,997 for SOC 2 Type I. One-time engagement. No auto-renewal. No multi-year lock-in.
The C3PAO fee is on the same pricing card.
For CMMC Level 2, the C3PAO assessment by an independent assessor typically runs $30,000 to $50,000. ComplianceArmor surfaces that range on the same pricing card as the documentation tier so the total program budget is visible from minute one. SaaS quotes that omit assessor fees create the year-end surprise we built ComplianceArmor to eliminate.
Yours forever. No subscription gate. No DRM.
Every ComplianceArmor artifact ships in editable native formats: PDF, HTML, CSV, ZIP, plus source files for the policies. Cancel any annual support arrangement and the documents stay yours, unaltered. Hyperproof keeps your control library, evidence, and crosswalks inside the platform. Export tooling exists during the active term; post-cancellation access depends on the agreement you signed.
If we missed something, we fix it free.
Every ComplianceArmor engagement carries the Audit-Ready Promise. If any artifact has a gap, we fix it at no charge within 30 days. If a certification fails because of our work, we refund 50% of our fee. SaaS subscription terms do not include service-level recourse on assessment outcomes. The promise is a service feature, not a software feature.
Eight productized packages, hard-priced per SKU.
If you are pursuing CMMC, HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2, NIST CSF, FTC Safeguards, NIST 800-171, or CCPA, you can buy the engagement at a published flat fee, run it once, and own the artifacts. No platform tier upgrade. No additional integration purchase. No per-framework module fee. See the full ComplianceArmor lineup with pricing on every card.
When Hyperproof is the right answer.
We do not pretend every prospect is the right fit for ComplianceArmor. Hyperproof has a defensible product with a strong cross-framework crosswalk and a continuous control-monitoring engine that earns its place in established compliance programs. If the description below matches your team, Hyperproof is a sound choice and we will say so on the call.
- You have an established compliance team (a director or manager plus analysts) with the bandwidth to operate the platform week to week.
- You are running four or more frameworks simultaneously (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, HIPAA, NIST CSF, FedRAMP) and need a crosswalk engine to avoid duplicate evidence work.
- You want continuous control monitoring embedded in your operating cadence, not a point-in-time engagement to clear a contract requirement.
- Your roadmap is multi-year audit posture and you have already negotiated CPA or assessor firms familiar with the Hyperproof workflow.
- You are a 100+ employee mid-market or enterprise organization with a budget for per-seat SaaS plus the consulting hours to author the artifacts internally.
If that profile fits you, Hyperproof is well-built for it. If you are a 25-person aerospace machine shop racing toward a DoD prime-contract deadline, a 40-person specialty clinic with HIPAA pressure from a payer audit, or a 60-person service provider whose IT lead is also the helpdesk, that is exactly who ComplianceArmor was built for.
Switching from Hyperproof to ComplianceArmor.
Whether your renewal is in 90 days or 18 months, the migration runbook is the same. Most teams complete the cutover before their next Hyperproof invoice posts (or run both side by side for one cycle if continuous monitoring is still pulling its weight).
Export your evidence and crosswalks
While your Hyperproof term is active, export your control library, completed evidence, framework crosswalks, and policy drafts. We accept PDF, ZIP, and CSV formats and incorporate what is reusable.
Scoping call (30 minutes)
We map your environment, CUI or PHI boundary, and target framework. The fixed price is locked at the end of the call, not after a procurement cycle.
RP team writes your package
Four CMMC Registered Practitioners author the SSP, POA&M, 14 policies, 14 procedures, gap analysis, evidence checklist, and executive summary. Branded, scoped, and yours.
Stay on Hyperproof, or let it expire
If continuous monitoring is still earning its line item, run both products side by side. If not, time the migration so the cutover lands before the auto-renew clock starts. Either way, the documents are yours forever.
Apples-to-apples on a real CMMC Level 2 project.
A 50-employee defense contractor pursuing CMMC Level 2. Three-year total cost of ownership. Pricing data observed 2026.
SaaS subscription, per-seat
- Year 1: ~$40K to $60K (custom-quoted mid-market range)
- Year 2: typical SaaS renewal escalator
- Year 3: typical SaaS renewal escalator
- Your team still authors the SSP, POA&M, and policies
- C3PAO fee ($30K to $50K) not included in platform quote
- Multi-year SaaS term, per-seat / per-user pricing
Flat fee, one-time engagement
- Fixed price disclosed up front, no escalator
- Done-for-you: SSP, POA&M, 14 policies, 14 procedures, evidence checklist
- Four CMMC Registered Practitioners on the engagement
- C3PAO fee disclosed on the same pricing card
- Documents in editable PDF, HTML, CSV, ZIP. Yours forever.
- No auto-renewal, no multi-year lock-in
- Audit-Ready Promise: gaps fixed free within 30 days
For a 50-employee defense contractor, the three-year savings are typically $95,000 or more on platform alone, before factoring in the internal staff time Hyperproof still requires for narrative writing and policy authoring.

Hyperproof-vs-ComplianceArmor questions buyers ask.
Is Hyperproof a bad product?
No. Hyperproof is a well-engineered platform with a strong control-mapping engine and a thoughtful audit-prep workflow. It earns its place inside established compliance programs running four or more frameworks at once with a dedicated team. ComplianceArmor and Hyperproof solve different problems: Hyperproof gives a compliance team a workspace; ComplianceArmor delivers a finished documentation package. The question is not which is better in the abstract, it is which one fits how your team actually works.
What about my Hyperproof crosswalks and control library?
Hyperproof's cross-framework crosswalk is a real strength when you are stacking SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, and HIPAA at the same time. Native exports of your control library, framework mappings, and evidence are available while your subscription is active. We treat that work as inputs to your ComplianceArmor engagement, not write-offs. After your subscription ends, accessibility depends on the SaaS terms you signed, so the practical advice is to export everything before cancellation and hand it to us as the foundation of your new package.
Do I lose my audit history when I switch?
The artifacts your assessor or CPA already accepted are yours, regardless of platform. Audit reports and attestations live with your firm. What matters in the migration is the working library: control narratives, evidence, policies, and crosswalks. Export those during your active term and we incorporate them. ComplianceArmor delivers the next package in editable native formats so future audits can be run from your own files, not from a SaaS workspace.
Can ComplianceArmor work alongside Hyperproof?
Yes. Some teams keep Hyperproof for continuous control monitoring and use ComplianceArmor to author the documentation package for a specific framework like CMMC Level 2 or HIPAA. The packages we deliver are formatted for assessor review and can be loaded into Hyperproof as evidence, used as standalone deliverables, or both. If continuous monitoring is still pulling its weight for your program, there is no requirement to cancel Hyperproof to work with us.
What if my audit firm or C3PAO is Hyperproof-trained?
ComplianceArmor artifacts are formatted to the structure DIBCAC and C3PAO assessors expect. The SSP follows published NIST SP 800-171 guidance, the POA&M follows the official template, and the policies map to the control families assessors review. CPA firms running SOC 2 examinations work with control narratives and evidence packages every day, regardless of source platform. Our team will brief your assessor on the deliverables before fieldwork if helpful.
What is the actual time savings versus authoring inside Hyperproof?
For CMMC Level 2 specifically, authoring 110 NIST 800-171 control narratives, the POA&M, 14 policies, and 14 procedures inside any SaaS workspace typically consumes 200 to 400 hours of senior compliance staff time. ComplianceArmor delivers the documentation tier in 60 to 75 days end to end with four RPs working in parallel rather than your single compliance person doing it sequentially. For organizations without a dedicated compliance lead, the difference is decisive.
Will ComplianceArmor actually certify me?
Petronella Technology Group, Inc. is a Cyber AB Registered Provider Organization (RPO). The independent CMMC Level 2 assessment required for certification is performed by a Cyber AB Authorized C3PAO under a separate engagement, priced separately from this package. Only the Cyber AB and the Department of Defense issue CMMC certificates. Petronella Technology Group cannot guarantee assessment outcomes. Neither can Hyperproof, nor any platform or RPO. The structure is the same; what differs is what the documentation work looks like leading up to the assessment.
What does a ComplianceArmor engagement cost compared to Hyperproof?
ComplianceArmor publishes flat fees per SKU. CMMC Level 1 starts at $6,997. CMMC Level 2 Tier 1 (documentation) is $24,997. HIPAA is $7,997. SOC 2 Type I is $14,997. PCI DSS v4 is $9,997. Hyperproof is per-seat / per-user SaaS, custom-quoted, with the mid-market range typically $30K to $75K per year. The C3PAO assessment fee ($30K to $50K) is disclosed on every ComplianceArmor pricing card so the total program cost is visible from the start.
