Apptega

Apptega is a cybersecurity compliance and GRC platform founded in 2017 by Armistead Whitney in Atlanta, Georgia. The company has raised $53.4M in total funding, including a $37M growth investment from Mainsail Partners in 2022. Apptega serves both in-house security teams and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), with 1,000+ MSSPs, MSPs, and businesses supporting more than 15,000 global compliance programs.

The platform supports 30+ pre-built frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS v4.0, GDPR, FedRAMP, CCPA, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, NIST 800-171, CMMC v2.0, CIS, SOX, and COBIT 2019. Its Harmony AI engine provides framework crosswalking, automatically mapping shared controls across standards to eliminate duplicate work. Teams report reducing compliance management effort by up to 75% through this cross-mapping.

Key modules include Assessment Manager (questionnaire-based gap analysis with AI remediation advice), Risk Manager (scoring and mitigation tracking), Audit Manager (audit preparation and evidence organization), Vendor Risk Manager (third-party security posture evaluation, launched October 2025), and Policy Manager. Unlike compliance automation tools like Vanta and Drata, Apptega is purpose-built for service providers who deliver compliance-as-a-service to multiple clients at scale.

Three tiers: Essentials (14-day free trial, 1 framework, limited features), Plus (custom pricing, 3 frameworks, adds crosswalking and audit manager, 'most popular'), Premium (custom pricing, 5+ frameworks, adds custom dashboards, vendor risk manager, multiple workspaces). Starting price ~$9,950/yr per TrustRadius. Users report $20K+ for teams of 5+. No permanent free tier. Multi-year and volume discounts available. MSSP/MSP packages with multi-tenancy and white-labeling available separately. Pricing factors in employee count and framework count.
