		Related Products Rocket z/Assure VAP Rocket z/Assure Vulnerability Analysis Program (VAP) is a specialized mainframe security solution that scans and analyzes vulnerabilities in IBM z/OS operating system code to help organizations identify, assess, track, and mitigate security risks that could expose critical data. Unlike traditional vulnerability tools that focus on application layers, z/Assure VAP conducts thorough and precise binary code scanning at the OS level to detect zero-day and integrity-based vulnerabilities without relying on signature files, using an Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)-style approach to pinpoint real weaknesses and guide developers to the exact code requiring remediation. It generates detailed vulnerability disclosure reports that provide actionable insights and clear paths to fix issues, enabling teams to prioritize risk, strengthen defenses, and make mainframe vulnerability management a repeatable part of IT security and compliance programs. 1 Rating Visit Website Reflectiz Reflectiz is the AI-powered web exposure company trusted by hundreds of global organizations, including Cox Communications, DAZN, Village Roadshow, Leeds United, and lastminute.com, to continuously monitor and protect everything that executes on their live websites. The platform observes real browser execution, not configuration, capturing every script, pixel, and third or fourth-party tool as it runs, and using AI to detect malicious code, unauthorized data flows, and behavioral change the moment it happens. It deploys with zero code changes, zero agents, and no access to customer data, typically live within one business day. One engine powers four hubs, each answering a different question about the same website: Security Hub detects web threats that traditional tools like WAFs miss, from Magecart skimming to AI-generated scripts. Privacy Hub verifies user data is only collected and shared as authorized, supporting GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PIPEDA. Offensive Hub runs continuous, agentic penetration testing at up to 10x the capacity of manual pentesting. PCI Module automates PCI DSS 4.0.1 Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1 with audit-ready evidence. Together they give Security, Privacy, Compliance, and Digital teams one 360-degree view of web risk instead of four disconnected tools. Reflectiz's Exposure Rating draws on an intelligence database built from monitoring millions of websites, and the platform has been recognized with a 2026 Fortress Cyber Security Award, a 2025 Top InfoSec Innovator award, and G2 High Performer status. Customers consistently cite fast, zero-touch onboarding and hands-on expert support alongside the platform. 33 Ratings Visit Website RealCISO RealCISO is a compliance intelligence platform for two audiences: MSPs and MSSPs managing security across multiple clients, and enterprise teams running compliance in-house.

Tracks maturity per control over time — L1 through L5 — so you show boards trend lines, not checkboxes. 3,000+ security providers. Built by practitioners. 223 Ratings Visit Website Orca Security Designed for organizations operating in the cloud who need complete, centralized visibility of their entire cloud estate and want more time and resources dedicated to remediating the actual risks that matter, Orca Security is an agentless cloud Security Platform that provides security teams with 100% coverage their entire cloud environment. Instead of layering multiple siloed tools together or deploying cumbersome agents, Orca combines two revolutionary approaches - SideScanning, that enables frictionless and complete coverage without the need to maintain agents, and the Unified Data Model, that allows centralized contextual analysis of your entire cloud estate. Together, Orca has created the most comprehensive cloud security platform available on the marketplace. 606 Ratings Visit Website Hyperproof Hyperproof is a governance, risk, and compliance platform built for organizations that juggle multiple regulatory frameworks. Rather than treating each standard as a separate project, Hyperproof maps a single set of controls across 160+ frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and NIST, so evidence gathered once can satisfy multiple audits without duplicate work. Purpose-built AI agents surface relevant evidence, validate controls, and flag compliance gaps automatically, cutting down the manual review that typically eats up a compliance team's week. The platform connects directly to the tools IT and security teams already use — including GitHub, Jira, ServiceNow, Snyk, CrowdStrike, MongoDB Atlas, Google Workspace, and Microsoft SharePoint — and pulls evidence into Hyperproof, eliminating the need for teams to chase it down manually. High-frequency controls can be tested on a recurring schedule, with failures automatically generating tasks and escalations so nothing slips through the cracks between audit cycles. A built-in risk register lets risk owners across departments document risk treatment plans and tie them directly to the controls that address them. Hyperproof also supports organizations with complex structures, letting larger companies scope controls to specific business units, subsidiaries, or entities rather than forcing everything into one flat compliance program. Customers report meaningful results from this approach: a 70% increase in compliance productivity, roughly $150,000 in annual savings on control orchestration, a 66% cut in duplicative controls, and about 350 fewer hours spent on audit preparation each year. Founded in 2018 and based in the Seattle area, Hyperproof works with organizations like Reddit, Fortinet, Appian, Outreach, and Thales as they move from reactive, spreadsheet-driven compliance to a continuous, audit-ready operating model. Best fit: IT, security, and compliance teams at growing technology companies that manage multiple frameworks simultaneously and want to reduce the manual overhead of audit prep. 350 Ratings Visit Website Aikido Security Secure your code, cloud, and runtime in one central system.
