Strike Graph

Strike Graph is a GRC platform for organizations building and measuring security programs. It is best suited to teams coordinating controls and evidence across compliance requirements, rather than businesses looking for a broad free starting point. Its combination of framework mapping, evidence collection, and risk tools is compelling, but the paid plans require a substantial annual budget.

Overview

The platform brings control mapping, risk assessments, remediation workflows, and vendor risk management into one compliance program. Automatic mapping across more than 30 frameworks can reduce duplicated control work when an organization faces multiple requirements. Verify AI continually tests and validates controls, supporting ongoing compliance rather than relying only on audit preparation.

Strike Graph says it collects evidence through integrations with more than 300 systems and tools. Named connections include AWS, Azure Active Directory, ClickUp, Confluence, GitHub, GitLab, Google Drive, Jira, Office 365, and ServiceNow. The maker says those integrations use zero-trust practices, strict authentication and access controls, and encryption. Trust Center centralizes security documentation for sharing with prospects, customers, auditors, and investors; Trust Chain gives visibility into risks from vendors and partners.

Key features

Controls, evidence, and AI

Framework mapping, evidence collection, risk assessments, and remediation workflows address the core operational work of compliance. Compliance Atlas, Verify AI, and Security Assistant are intended to automate evidence validation and guide certification work. This breadth may be useful for teams managing several obligations, though the strongest AI and compliance capabilities are reserved for the Scale plan.

Framework and third-party coverage

Supported frameworks include SOC 1 and SOC 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, CMMC, FedRAMP, DORA, and NIS2, among others. Trust Chain adds vendor and partner risk visibility, making the platform relevant beyond an organization's own controls. The range is a strength for complex programs, while Launch's SOC 2 security TSC scope is much narrower.

Pricing

Strike Graph uses a freemium model, but its free option is tightly constrained and the paid tiers start at five figures annually.

Launch also includes customer support and a 30-minute Audit Advisor Call. Its limited templates and cloud choices narrow the practical value of the free tier. Certify and Scale are priced annually, with no seat allowance beyond the stated one team; organizations needing custom frameworks or multi-domain reporting must consider Enterprise.

Platforms

Strike Graph is available on web and through an API. Those options suit browser-based program work and system connections, but the platform does not offer a listed desktop or mobile app.

Who it's for

Strike Graph is a strong fit for organizations that need to coordinate security controls, evidence, and risks across demanding compliance requirements. Smaller teams can use Launch to address its narrow SOC 2 scope, while teams committing to paid plans should have a clear need for their specified framework and team limits. It is less suitable for buyers seeking broad multi-framework coverage at no cost or a modest annual price.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Automatic mapping across more than 30 frameworks can reduce repeated control work.
• Pros: Evidence connections spanning more than 300 systems, alongside Trust Center and Trust Chain, cover internal proof gathering and external trust and vendor-risk needs.
• Pros: Launch is free and includes a 30-minute Audit Advisor Call, offering a low-cost entry for narrow SOC 2 work.
• Cons: Launch is limited to SOC 2 security TSC, limited policy templates, and a short set of cloud and storage choices.
• Cons: Certify starts at $21,500/yr and Scale at $35,000/yr, each for one team and one framework.

Alternatives

Compliance Management Software is a useful category starting point for comparing products by fit. Consider CISO Assistant if a self-hosted, free community edition with unlimited users and community support is more important than Strike Graph's paid-plan scope. ComplianceOS may suit teams seeking a self-hosted, open-source Community edition with 30+ frameworks and 1000+ pre-built controls. OpenGRC is another option for buyers who want a self-hosted community edition with full source code access.

ComplianceBridge Policy Management is a paid alternative for policy management across web, desktop, and mobile platforms. NAVEX EthicsPoint Incident Management is a paid option for organizations seeking incident management. Drata is a paid alternative whose GRC Foundation plan includes up to 50 FTEs, one pre-mapped framework, Trust Center Standard, and Open API Access. Riskonnect offers integrated risk management software with pricing dependent on project size, complexity, and customization. AssurX QMS is a paid quality management alternative with pricing available by demo request.

Verdict

Choose Strike Graph if your organization needs connected control mapping, evidence gathering, and risk management for a defined security-compliance program, and can support the annual cost of its paid tiers. The main reason to look elsewhere is the steep gap between Launch's narrow free scope and paid plans starting at $21,500/yr, especially if you need broader coverage on a smaller budget.
