CertAssist is the simple, smart way to work through ISO 27001, SOC 2 and other frameworks, then hand your auditor a tidy, evidence-backed workspace. No integrations, no data risk, no five-figure invoice.
Most compliance platforms run into many thousands of dollars a year and bury you in integrations you don't need. CertAssist does one thing well and does it for a flat $375 a month: it helps you get certified.
Everything you need to reach certification, and nothing you don't.
Every control laid out on one clear board. See what's done, in progress and outstanding at a glance, across the whole framework.
CertAssist doesn't connect to your systems or pull your data. There is nothing to integrate and nothing to breach. Your information stays with you.
Start from built-in policy and evidence guidance for every control, edit it to fit your business, and get certified without writing every policy from scratch.
Give your auditor read-only access and they review your evidence in minutes, cutting time and cost out of the audit itself.
Open any control to record why it applies, capture your justification, note how it's implemented and attach evidence. CertAssist keeps the whole story in one place so nothing slips through the cracks.
Each control comes with a documentation checklist and an evidence checklist, so you always know the next step. Edit the built-in guidance, tick items off, and build audit-ready evidence as you go.
Enterprise platforms are powerful but priced for enterprises. Spreadsheets are cheap but painful. CertAssist sits in between.
| Spreadsheets and docs | CertAssist | Enterprise platforms | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | Free, but slow | $375/month flat | Thousands per year |
| Set-up | Build it all yourself | Controls and templates ready to go | Onboarding and integrations |
| Connects to your systems | No | No, by design | Yes, deep integrations |
| Data exposure risk | Low | Low | Higher, more access |
| Policy and evidence templates | No | Built in and editable | Yes |
| Auditor access | Email and zip files | Read-only, in one place | Yes |
| Right-sized for SMBs and startups | Sort of | Yes | Overkill |
Comparison reflects typical market positioning. Enterprise platforms include tools such as Vanta and Drata.
Pick ISO 27001, SOC 2 or another framework and CertAssist lays out every control ready to work through.
Use the built-in templates and checklists to document each control and attach your evidence as you go.
Give your auditor access to review everything in one place, and get certified faster and for less.
No tiers, no add-ons, no surprises at renewal.
SOC 2 is the report most SaaS and service businesses are asked for by their customers, showing you handle data securely. If prospects or enterprise buyers are asking how you protect their data, you probably need it. CertAssist walks you through the Trust Services Criteria step by step.
It depends on the framework and how ready you are, but the work is mostly documenting controls and gathering evidence. CertAssist speeds this up with a clear board, built-in templates and checklists, so you spend less time working out what to do and more time doing it.
CertAssist is a flat US$375 per month, or US$3,999 a year (12 months for the price of 11). That is a fraction of enterprise platforms that run into thousands a year. You will still pay a separate fee to an independent auditor for the certification itself.
Yes. CertAssist does not connect to your systems or pull your data, so there are no integrations to breach. Your information is encrypted, protected by mandatory multi-factor authentication, and stays yours. See our Security page.

Not necessarily. CertAssist was built by consultants and auditors to give you the guidance they would, built into the tool. Many businesses use it on their own; others bring in a consultant and give them access. Either works.
