Thoropass packages compliance software with in-house audit delivery — strong if you want a one-vendor SOC 2 program. If you already have an auditor (or aren't ready for one), you're buying value you can't use. ComplianceIQ gives you the policies, the audit grade, and the framework guidance separately and cheaper.
Thoropass = compliance platform + integrated audit firm (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI, GDPR via partner). ComplianceIQ = AI policy generator + auditor across 10+ frameworks with no auditor lock-in.
Companies that want to consolidate platform + auditor with one vendor and reduce the number of contracts.
Teams that already have (or want to choose) their own auditor, or that aren't ready for one and need policies + a gap audit first.
If you have a relationship with A-LIGN, Schellman, Coalfire, BARR, Prescient, etc. — keep them. Use ComplianceIQ for the documents and gap audit; hand artifacts to your auditor.
Pre-audit is exactly when ComplianceIQ pays off most. Score your existing policies, fix gaps, then bring in an auditor — already 80% prepped.
Switching auditors with a bundled platform is harder. ComplianceIQ keeps the choice yours.
GDPR/CCPA/HIPAA depth varies. ComplianceIQ goes deep on all three (Art. 30 ROPA, CCPA categories, HIPAA NPP/BAA language).
We're honest: there are jobs where a full automation platform is the right answer.
Bundled stacks make it painful. Unbundle to ComplianceIQ + external auditor for flexibility.
Bundled audit fee burns during phases you don't need an auditor active. Use us for prep, defer audit engagement to when it's needed.
Privacy lead wants own tooling — flat-fee + privacy-first means less budget battle.
Yes — this is the most common pattern. We produce policies and a pre-audit grade; your auditor runs fieldwork.
Finish your current audit cycle on Thoropass, then transition. Export your existing policies and run them through /audit to baseline.
SOC 2 + ISO 27001 + NIST + PCI + HIPAA + GDPR + CCPA + CMMC + SOX + OSHA in depth. SOC 1 / SOC 3 on the roadmap.
Paste a policy → get a clause-by-clause graded audit in 20 seconds. Or generate a tailored compliance doc. No signup. No demo. 3 free audits/day.
