Pick KollGuard if…
- You want a tool that runs the technical checks, not just collects evidence.
- You're price-sensitive and won't sign a $7.5k+/yr platform contract before having paying customers.
- Your stack is GitHub + Postgres / Supabase / MySQL / Mongo.
- You'd rather pay your auditor directly and your tooling separately.
Pick Secureframe if…
- You'd prefer a bundled experience where the platform helps coordinate the auditor.
- You need a full administrative GRC suite, not just security scans.
- You have budget for a $7.5k+/yr contract and a sales process to procure it.
- You want a single vendor relationship rather than scanner + auditor separately.
Frequently asked
- Does Secureframe scan my code?
- Secureframe pulls evidence from your stack via integrations — GitHub config, AWS settings, Okta logs — but does not deeply scan your code or run security checks against your databases. KollGuard runs those checks directly.
- Can KollGuard replace Secureframe entirely?
- Not the auditor-network piece. KollGuard produces the technical evidence; you engage an auditor separately. If the bundled auditor experience is what you value most, Secureframe is the better fit; if technical depth is what you value most, KollGuard is.
- How does pricing compare?
- KollGuard starts at $19.89/mo (transparent, on the Pricing page). Secureframe is quote-based, typically $7.5k+/yr. For a small engineering team, that's roughly the difference between buying tooling and buying an enterprise contract.
