RESTIV vs Hyperproof
RESTIV vs Hyperproof: the 2026 comparison.
The verdict
Hyperproof is the superior choice for mid-market and enterprise GRC teams running multiple frameworks in parallel with a dedicated compliance function, backed by a multi-framework control crosswalk, deep audit management, and a quantitative risk register. RESTIV Compliance Copilot is a managed, batteries-included compliance program for regulated and defense-supply-chain organizations, suited to teams that need defense-grade frameworks like CMMC 2.0 and CPCSC, the outcome delivered rather than a platform to operate in-house, and sovereign AI for CUI and ITAR/EAR work.

Hyperproof key strengths
Hyperproof is genuinely strong for a sophisticated GRC team, and the comparison concedes it.
Multi-framework crosswalk: Map a control once and Hyperproof cascades it across 140+ framework templates — the largest framework library in the market — eliminating duplicate work for teams running many frameworks at once.
Deep audit management: Observation tracking from creation to remediation, control-level readiness scoring, and an auditor self-serve evidence portal — ahead of most platforms on the audit dimension.
Quantitative risk register: Enterprise-grade risk management that goes beyond basic risk tracking, suited to teams that also own enterprise or third-party risk.
Unlimited users: Workload-based pricing with no per-seat charges, so a large in-house GRC team scales without per-user cost surprises.
RESTIV key strengths
RESTIV Compliance Copilot claims the broader surface: a managed, continuously-tested compliance program for regulated and defense-supply-chain organizations.
Compliance in a box — batteries included: The capabilities a compliance program needs — vulnerability scanning, code scanning, evidence collection, control testing — are built natively into the platform. The incumbents are “batteries not included”: their value is hundreds of integrations to third-party scanners and tools you must license, configure, and operate yourself.
Compliance as a service — the outcome, not the toolkit: RESTIV delivers the end result: certification readiness. The incumbents deliver a platform that surfaces gaps and expects in-house cybersecurity and governance experts — or external consultants — to configure it and close those gaps.
Green-field ready: Because the capabilities are native rather than bring-your-own, a startup beginning its compliance program from zero gets an end-to-end path — with no existing security stack or in-house experts required.
Managed program, not DIY tooling: RESTIV runs scoping, remediation, and the evidence chain for teams without an in-house CISO. The platform does the work, rather than handing back a dashboard of gaps for the customer to fix.
Defense-grade frameworks: CMMC 2.0 mapped to all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls, plus CPCSC, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 — built for the November 10, 2026 CMMC Phase 2 enforcement deadline across the defense supply chain.
Continuous control testing: Operational effectiveness is proven under adversarial conditions and kept current between assessments, instead of point-in-time configuration checks that drift after the audit.
Sovereign AI for sensitive work: SCIFAI delivers zero-egress, fully-attributed AI for CUI and ITAR/EAR work — NRC-IRAP funded (Project 1041303) and presented at ONE Conference The Hague as a candidate industry standard.
Supply-chain alignment: RESTIV brings prime contractors and their SME suppliers to certification together, so a single unprepared supplier does not stall an award.
Where the two diverge.
Batteries included vs. batteries not included
Hyperproof is a platform whose value is integrating with the tools you already license and run — vulnerability scanners, code scanners, and the rest of a security stack — and it assumes in-house cybersecurity and governance experts, or external consultants, to configure and operate it. RESTIV takes the opposite approach: the capabilities are built into the platform natively, delivered as compliance in a box and compliance as a service, so the outcome — certification readiness — is the deliverable. That also makes RESTIV a fit for green-field teams starting their compliance program from zero with no existing stack.
GRC operations platform vs. a managed outcome
Hyperproof is a GRC operations platform built for a dedicated compliance team to configure and run; reviewers report 60–90 days of onboarding and recommend a dedicated GRC lead. RESTIV delivers the outcome — certification readiness — as a managed engagement, with no in-house GRC function required.
CMMC 2.0 and defense supply chain
Hyperproof lists NIST 800-171 and FedRAMP among its frameworks for self-serve operation. RESTIV manages all 110 NIST SP 800-171 controls toward a C3PAO assessment and adds CPCSC for Canadian defense work.
AI on sensitive data
Hyperproof covers AI-risk frameworks (NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, EU AI Act) but has no sovereign-AI environment. RESTIV's SCIFAI provides zero-egress, attributed AI for CUI and ITAR/EAR work.
Pricing comparison.
Neither vendor publishes simple list pricing; compare a managed program against a GRC platform license, a separate implementation fee, and the dedicated GRC staff needed to operate it.
RESTIV Compliance Copilot
Managed engagement, scoped to your certifications and environment (quote-based). You are buying a run compliance program, not a per-seat dashboard license.
Hyperproof
Hyperproof's Professional tier starts around $12K/yr with a mandatory $10–30K implementation fee; median contracts land near $40K and reach $50–100K at enterprise scale (workload-based, unlimited users). Renewals typically rise 15–25% per year.
When to choose Hyperproof
Choose Hyperproof if you are a mid-market or enterprise organization with a dedicated compliance function running three or more frameworks in parallel, and you want the largest framework library, deep audit management, and a quantitative risk register your team will operate in-house.
When to choose RESTIV
Choose RESTIV if you need CMMC 2.0 or CPCSC, want the program run for you with capabilities built in rather than a platform to staff and configure, are starting green-field, or need sovereign AI for sensitive CUI or ITAR/EAR work.
Frequently asked questions.
Is RESTIV better than Hyperproof?
RESTIV is better for regulated and defense organizations, and for green-field teams, that want a managed, batteries-included program covering CMMC 2.0 and CPCSC. Hyperproof is better for mid-market GRC teams running many frameworks with dedicated staff. They serve different buyers.
What is the difference between RESTIV and Hyperproof?
Hyperproof is a GRC operations platform a dedicated compliance team configures and runs, with a multi-framework crosswalk and deep audit management. RESTIV is a managed program that runs scoping, remediation, and continuous control testing for you, with defense-grade frameworks and sovereign AI built in.
Is RESTIV cheaper than Hyperproof?
Neither publishes simple list prices. Hyperproof starts around $12K per year plus a $10–30K implementation fee and the cost of a dedicated GRC team to operate it. RESTIV is a managed engagement quoted to your environment that includes the program work and capabilities Hyperproof expects your staff to provide.
Can RESTIV replace Hyperproof?
Yes for organizations that want a managed, defense-grade program with capabilities built in. A mid-market enterprise with a mature in-house GRC team running many frameworks may still prefer Hyperproof's crosswalk and audit tooling.
Who should use Hyperproof instead of RESTIV?
Mid-market and enterprise organizations with a dedicated compliance function running three or more frameworks in parallel, who want the largest framework library, deep audit management, and a quantitative risk register they will operate themselves, should use Hyperproof.
