What is Strike Graph?
Founded in 2020 and based in Seattle, Strike Graph is an AI-native GRC platform for continuous security compliance. It has helped hundreds of organizations achieve certifications across nearly 30 frameworks.
Strike Graph organizes a security program around risks, controls and evidence, then connects to the systems where compliance data lives. Teams design a scoped program, assign control owners, automate evidence collection and monitor readiness from a central workspace. Its Verify AI validates evidence for completeness, accuracy and control alignment, while Security Assistant helps interpret requirements, recommend next steps and answer security questionnaires. Organizations can work with their own auditor or use Strike Graph’s independent-auditor partner network.
The platform covers core GRC workflows including risk registers, control and evidence management, audit-ready exports, cross-framework mappings, policy templates, action items, self-assessments, system security plans, SBOM monitoring and third-party risk through Trust Chain. It supports more than 300 integrations and an evidence API, with connections spanning cloud, HR, repositories and collaboration tools. The breadth is substantial, but formal audits remain separate engagements: the independent auditor sets audit fees, and additional frameworks and some advanced capabilities can add cost.
Strike Graph is aimed at startups, software companies and larger organizations that need customer-facing certifications or a broader, multi-framework program. Its public customer stories include Edify, Sanmina, Clockwork, Black Mountain Software and DocuPhase, while the company says it has supported hundreds of organizations. Plans are annual and workspace-based rather than per general user: Certify starts at $21,500 per year, Scale at $35,000, and Enterprise is quote-based; Trust Chain and AI consumption can be added separately.

Maps risks to controls, assigns owners and tracks residual risk, remediation actions and audit readiness.
Framework mapping
Reuses controls and evidence across nearly 30 supported frameworks, reducing duplicate work when programs expand.
AI compliance assistance
Security Assistant and Atlas AI identify gaps, suggest next steps and help generate security-questionnaire responses.
Third-party risk
Trust Chain provides vendor-risk workflows with vendor-volume tiers and an optional add-on structure.
Audit collaboration
Provides auditor access, audit-ready exports and connections to vetted independent audit partners.

Pros & cons
Pros
- The $21,500 annual Certify entry point is publicly disclosed rather than hidden behind a demo request.
- Cross-framework mappings let teams reuse existing controls and evidence when adding programs such as HIPAA or NIST.
- The integration catalog spans more than 300 systems and includes an evidence API for custom sources.
- Named case studies document measurable results, including an 80% reduction in compliance time for Cleo and a 77% reduction in questionnaire time for Black Mountain Software.
Cons
- The $21,500 starting price makes the platform a substantial commitment for very small teams.
- Independent audit fees are separate and set by the auditor, so total certification cost is higher than the software subscription.
- Additional frameworks can add $2,000–$8,000 each, and advanced Trust Chain and AI usage can add further charges.
- The platform’s broad framework, risk and AI feature set requires more implementation work than a narrowly focused SOC 2 checklist tool.
Who is Strike Graph best for?
- Software companies that need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence collection without building a compliance process from scratch.
- Growing teams that expect to reuse controls and evidence across multiple security frameworks.
- Organizations that want annual, workspace-based pricing without a per-general-user license fee.
- Security and compliance teams that need integrated vendor risk, questionnaires and audit preparation in one platform.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Strike Graph cost?
+
The public pricing page lists Certify from $21,500 per year and Scale from $35,000 per year; Enterprise is custom. Additional frameworks cost $2,000–$8,000, while audits are priced separately by the independent auditor.
How long does implementation take and how does Strike Graph work?
+
Strike Graph’s workflow has three stages: Design controls, Operate by assigning owners and monitoring evidence, and Certify with auditor access and exports. Its 2020 launch announcement said customers typically earned SOC 2 Type I in 45 days, while a current case study reports Clockwork completing Type I in eight business days; actual timing depends on scope and readiness.
How does Strike Graph compare with Vanta?
+
Strike Graph emphasizes workspace-based annual pricing, cross-framework mapping, Verify AI and Trust Chain. Its public comparison says Trust Center and vendor-risk capabilities are included across plans, while Vanta prices some comparable capabilities as add-ons; the right choice depends on framework scope, integrations and implementation needs.
Which integrations does Strike Graph support?
+
Strike Graph says it supports more than 300 systems and 50,000 data points. Named integrations include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, GitHub, GitLab, Google Drive, Jira, Confluence and Microsoft 365, and an evidence API can accept data from custom or legacy systems.
Who is Strike Graph for?
+
It is designed for organizations building or expanding security-compliance programs, particularly software companies and teams pursuing SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC or multiple frameworks. Its case studies include startups and larger enterprises such as Clockwork, Edify and Sanmina.
How secure and accurate is its automated evidence collection?
+
Strike Graph says integrations use zero-trust practices, strict authentication, access controls and encryption. Verify AI checks evidence completeness, accuracy and alignment in real time, but teams and auditors remain responsible for reviewing controls and issuing the formal certification.
