Compare
Let’s take a deeper look at how Hyperproof compares to Archer across six areas.
Designed for continuous compliance and modern risk management. Promotes accountability across the business with automation, intuitive workflows, and scalability as organizations grow.
Enterprise-first, with broad modules for risk, compliance, and audit. Often requires heavy customization, long implementation cycles, and dedicated admins to maintain.
Supports 118+ frameworks, including SOC 2®, ISO 27001/27701, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST 800-53/171/CSF, CIS Security Controls®, FedRAMP, CMMC, and much more. With crosswalks, evidence can be reused across frameworks to reduce audit prep time.
Provides coverage for common frameworks and regulations but depends on custom configuration and services to adapt to new or evolving standards, slowing down time to compliance.
70+ out-of-the-box Hypersyncs (Slack, Jira, GitHub, Okta, AWS, and more), which are data connectors that automate evidence collection, improve stakeholder communication, and manage tasks and projects without having to switch tools. Hypersyncs help teams save hundreds of hours each year.
Integrates with enterprise systems but often requires custom connectors, professional services, or IT intervention. Lacks the same emphasis on real-time evidence automation and reuse across multiple frameworks.
Built for collaboration across teams. Assign tasks to engineering, IT, HR, and business units. Automated reminders and integrations with productivity tools ensure accountability is shared across the organization.
Strong reporting and dashboards for risk teams, but less intuitive for business users. Collaboration features are limited compared to modern, cloud-native platforms.
Modern, intuitive design with industry-leading ratings for usability and support.
Rated 3.9/5, reviews mention the platform is powerful but complex and difficult to configure. Many customers report steep learning curves, reliance on consultants, and slower support response times.
Customers report:
Customers benefit from robust enterprise risk modules, but often face high costs, long implementation timelines, and ongoing administrative overhead.
No other platform provides this level of a tailored view. It’s exactly what we needed.
