Which one scales past the first audit?

Drata's public positioning is the post-first-audit workspace. Sprinto markets autonomous / hands-free compliance for startups that stay in the same two frameworks. If you know you will add HIPAA, PCI, and custom controls next year, pressure-test that on a Sprinto demo before you pick on price.

What none of these do

These platforms collect evidence and watch controls. They do not write the ISMS and they do not read a pull request for a framework clause. Those are different jobs: ISMS Copilot for the writing and thinking work, heyGRC for compliance review in the PR. Disclosure: both are Better ISMS products. They are not catalog entries and they are not a third column above.
