Hyperproof
Compliance-operations platform serving as a system of record for controls, risk, and vendor data across 160+ supported frameworks.
Visit Website ↗Overview
Hyperproof, founded in 2018, positions itself less as a pure audit-automation tool and more as a system of record for an organization’s overall compliance program: it centralizes controls, evidence, risk registers, and vendor risk data, automating routine collection tasks while orchestrating the parts that still require human review across more than 160 supported frameworks (HIPAA, CMMC, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST standards, GDPR, FedRAMP, and others).
The company has raised roughly $63-77 million, including a Series B in 2023, and reports serving 350+ organizations including Reddit, Appian, Fortinet, Nutanix, and Outreach. In October 2025 Hyperproof combined with Expent, a vendor and procurement-risk management platform, signaling a move toward bundling compliance operations with vendor lifecycle management rather than pure organic product expansion.
Innovation Matrix Assessment
The October 2025 combination with Expent expands scope into vendor/procurement risk, but this looks more like inorganic consolidation than fast independent product velocity.
Centralizing controls, evidence, and risk registers as a single system of record reduces fragmentation across compliance, risk, and vendor-management teams.
Funding (~$63-77M) is modest relative to category leaders, and a 2025 combination with another company rather than a new funding round or major customer milestone suggests more muted growth momentum.
Automates evidence collection like its larger rivals, but its system-of-record positioning is closer to a compliance operations hub than a fundamentally new continuous-monitoring model.
350+ organizations and G2 Leader recognition in both enterprise and mid-market segments support credible mid-market adoption.
Combining compliance operations with vendor risk tracking addresses a real integration gap, keeping it relevant as third-party risk and framework counts both grow.
Why CISOs Should Care
Compliance teams juggling many overlapping frameworks and vendor risk data in spreadsheets get one system of record instead of stitching together audit tools and vendor trackers separately.
What Makes It Different
Positions itself as compliance-operations infrastructure (a system of record with orchestration) rather than a pure continuous-monitoring engine like Vanta or Drata.
The Matrix Verdict
53/100 — INCREMENTAL INNOVATOR
A solid mid-market tool with real but unspectacular momentum; its recent tie-up with Expent could meaningfully raise its third-party-risk relevance going forward, but on current public evidence it lands in the Steady tier.
Editorial Note: Claims vs. Verified Findings
Customer and funding figures vary across sources (Hyperproof's own $40M growth-funding announcement versus third-party aggregator totals of $63-77M); the Expent combination was described in aggregator data as a 'Buyout/LBO' with limited independent detail available on deal terms.
