GetCybr is an AI-powered vCISO and GRC platform built for MSPs and security consultancies delivering compliance services across a growing client book. It leads on architecture; multi-tenant from day one, per-client pricing that scales with how MSPs actually bill, and a self-hosted deployment option with Bring Your Own Model LLM support that no direct competitor currently matches. For MSPs whose primary service is structured compliance program delivery across multiple clients, GetCybr has made genuine architectural choices that address real operational friction.
Where GetCybr shares a fundamental limitation with the rest of the vCISO platform category is the technical layer. The platform does not scan. It manages and documents security programs built on data pulled from existing tools through integrations. For a vCISO whose differentiation is the quality of live technical findings they can produce (not just the quality of the compliance documentation they deliver around those findings) that gap matters.
This page is for MSPs and vCISOs evaluating GetCybr and where FortifyData fits as an alternative or complement.
What GetCybr Does
GetCybr is a UK-built AI platform designed specifically for MSPs and security consultancies managing multiple client organizations simultaneously. GetCybr is a recently launched platform (founded in 2025) and newer to market than other options in this category. The architectural approach and feature set described here reflect their publicly available positioning as of mid-2026. MSPs evaluating GetCybr should conduct direct due diligence on customer references and platform stability before committing.
Unlike platforms adapted from single-company GRC tools, GetCybr was architected from the start for multi-client service delivery. That means multi-tenant client isolation, a portfolio-wide dashboard, and per-client per-year pricing are core to the product rather than add-ons.
The platform is built for the compliance-led vCISO engagement. A client needs to pass a SOC 2 audit, achieve ISO 27001 certification, meet NIS2 obligations, or satisfy HIPAA requirements. The MSP is delivering that service across multiple clients simultaneously. GetCybr automates the assessment, maps gaps against the relevant framework, manages evidence collection, and produces board-ready reporting, all from a single dashboard covering the entire client portfolio.
Their AI engine runs automated baseline assessments on new clients, generating a prioritized security roadmap within hours of onboarding. They claim 50+ compliance frameworks including US frameworks (SOC 2, NIST CSF, HIPAA, CMMC, PCI DSS), EU frameworks (NIS2, DORA, GDPR), UK frameworks (Cyber Essentials), and APAC frameworks (MAS TRM for Singapore, NCA ECC for Saudi Arabia). The 200+ integrations connect existing client tools — pulling data from the environment rather than generating it independently.
Their self-hosted deployment tier with BYOM LLM support is a genuine differentiator within the category. MSPs with strict data residency requirements or clients in regulated environments with data sovereignty constraints can deploy GetCybr on their own infrastructure and connect their preferred AI model — OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models.
GetCybr also acknowledges its own honest limitation: it is newer to market than Cynomi and RealCISO, and some integrations are still expanding. That transparency is worth noting.
Where GetCybr Has Limitations
No native technical scanning. GetCybr does not perform direct scanning of client or vendor environments. Technical data enters the platform through selected 200+ integrations with existing tools rather than from independent assessment. A vCISO using GetCybr cannot generate original live findings. The findings they work with come from tools already running in the client environment, which means the assessment is only as current and complete as what those tools are capturing.
No external attack surface management. GetCybr cannot discover unknown client assets, monitor external exposure continuously, or generate findings from an independent scan of a client’s internet-facing infrastructure. The pre-sales use case of walking into a prospect meeting with live attack surface findings before a contract is signed is not available through GetCybr.
No continuous technical posture monitoring. GetCybr’s monitoring is compliance control verification oriented. It tracks whether controls are in place and whether evidence remains current, not whether the technical environment itself has changed. New assets appearing on a client’s external attack surface, misconfigured cloud services, or vendor posture changes between assessment cycles are not visible through GetCybr without a third-party scanner feeding that data in.
TPRM is questionnaire and evidence management based. GetCybr includes a TPRM module, but vendor assessment relies on questionnaires and evidence collection rather than direct technical scanning of vendor environments. The gap between what a vendor self-reports and what a direct technical scan reveals is not visible in a questionnaire-dependent process.
Framework coverage is international-focused. GetCybr’s breadth across APAC and Middle East frameworks (MAS TRM, NCA ECC) and UK frameworks (Cyber Essentials) is a genuine strength for internationally-focused practices. For US-regulated industries — banking under FFIEC and NCUA, healthcare under HIPAA and OCR, financial services under NYDFS — GetCybr covers the core frameworks but is not specifically built around the regulatory examination context those industries face. The depth of regulatory specificity matters as much as framework coverage when a client is under examination.
Newer to market. GetCybr is less established than Cynomi, RealCISO, and Rivial Security. For MSPs whose clients require vendor due diligence on the tools in their security stack, platform maturity and track record are part of the evaluation.

What the vCISO Platform Category Gets Right and Where It Stops
GetCybr, Cynomi, and RealCISO are all built for the same primary engagement: an MSP or vCISO whose client needs to meet a compliance requirement. A financial services firm preparing for a SOC 2 audit. A healthcare organization managing HIPAA obligations. A defense contractor pursuing CMMC certification. The platform manages the compliance process and assessing current state, identifying gaps, tracking remediation, producing the documentation the audit requires.
These platforms do that compliance management work well. What none of them does is produce the technical data that compliance programs are supposed to be based on and transitioning towards in continuous compliance.
A compliance program that documents controls without verifying whether those controls are technically implemented and functioning is producing documentation, not security. Regulators and examiners increasingly understand this distinction. FFIEC examiners evaluate not just whether a TPRM program exists but whether it produces continuous technical monitoring data. NYDFS enforcement actions have cited the absence of technical monitoring as a distinct deficiency from the absence of a documented program. The gap between having a framework and having current technical data confirming actual posture against that framework is where regulatory exposure lives.
FortifyData serves the same compliance-led engagement AND adds the technical layer the vCISO platform category cannot provide.
One Platform vs. a Compliance Tool Plus a Scanner
A vCISO using GetCybr is managing a well-architected compliance delivery platform. They still need a scanning tool to tell them what their clients’ environments actually look like. That is two separate systems, two separate data sources, and the work of reconciling what the scanner found with what the compliance platform documents is manual overhead that compounds with every client added.
FortifyData consolidates both functions. Direct scanning for external attack surface management, continuous vendor monitoring, internal assessment, and cloud security posture management — and compliance management — framework assessments, gap analysis, remediation planning, and continuous controls monitoring — exist in the same platform. Findings from the technical layer flow directly into the compliance module. There is no reconciliation step because there is no second tool.
For a vCISO partner managing multiple client engagements, that consolidation reduces operational overhead per client and produces a more defensible compliance output, because the compliance documentation is grounded in scan data rather than imported from a separate system.

How FortifyData Fits the vCISO Use Case
FortifyData is a consolidated cyber risk management platform covering attack surface management, third-party risk management, and compliance automation in one system. vCISOs and MSSPs use it both for compliance-led engagements and for technical security delivery that compliance-only platforms cannot support.
Multi-tenant architecture with portfolio rollup. FortifyData supports full multi-tenant delivery where each client operates in a dedicated environment with isolated data, modules, and configurations. The portfolio view surfaces critical risks across all clients simultaneously with drill-down to individual client environments.
Compliance management built in. FortifyData’s risk and compliance module handles framework assessments, gap analysis, policy management, and continuous controls monitoring integrated directly with the technical findings the platform generates.
US and international framework coverage. FortifyData covers the full set of US regulated industry frameworks such as FFIEC, NCUA, NYDFS, HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS alongside major international frameworks including ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, GDPR, and additional regional frameworks including Brazil, Spain and Portugal’s national cybersecurity framework. For practices serving US regulated industries and EU clients under DORA and NIS2, the coverage is comprehensive.
AI Auditor against any framework. FortifyData’s AI Auditor accepts any vendor document and audits it against any compliance framework the user specifies, not a predefined library. For clients operating under jurisdiction-specific regulations not in any standard library, the AI Auditor removes the framework coverage constraint entirely. The time savings from reviewing security policies, SOC 2s and other vendor provided reports are enormous.
ASM as a pre-sales tool. FortifyData’s external attack surface management scans continuously. vCISOs use this to generate live findings before a prospect contract is signed; showing actual exposed assets, misconfigured services, and vulnerability data from a direct scan. GetCybr cannot produce this. It is one of the most differentiated capabilities for vCISOs who compete on the quality of their technical findings rather than the quality of their framework documentation.
Continuous vendor monitoring. FortifyData directly scans vendors and vendor environments as a supplement to (or replacement of) managing a questionnaire process. Vendor posture is assessed from live technical data. The platform auto-detects third parties from live ASM scan data and maps fourth-party concentration risk across a client’s vendor ecosystem.
Remediation planning grounded in technical data. FortifyData’s remediation planning ranks open gaps by risk impact and projected improvement, informed by live scan data rather than framework assessment alone. The prioritization reflects actual technical exposure, not just documented control gaps.
Regulatory depth for US examined industries. FortifyData’s content, regulatory hooks, and platform positioning are specifically built around the examination environments that US banking, credit union, and healthcare clients face — FFIEC, NCUA, NYDFS, HIPAA/OCR. For a vCISO whose clients are under active regulatory scrutiny, that depth matters beyond framework checkbox coverage.
Integration marketplace. FortifyData integrates with the security tools already running in client environments like Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike Falcon, Tenable Nessus, SentinelOne, and major cloud platforms; consolidating findings into a single risk view.
White-label and co-brand capability. Interface and reports can be white-labeled or co-branded. Live with MSP clients today.
Cloud security posture management. AWS, Azure, Oracle, IBM, and Google cloud environments monitored continuously alongside external and internal assets.
vCISO and MSSP partner program. FortifyData works with vCISOs and MSSPs through a dedicated partner program. vCISOs interested in delivering FortifyData’s capabilities to their clients can learn more about the vCISO partner program.

Which vCISO Platform Fits Your Practice
GetCybr is likely the stronger fit if: Your vCISO practice serves clients across multiple geographies including UK, Singapore, or Middle East markets where Cyber Essentials, MAS TRM, or NCA ECC frameworks are required. You need self-hosted deployment with data sovereignty control and the ability to connect your own LLM. Your practice is growing and per-client pricing maps more cleanly to your billing model than alternative pricing structures. Your primary service delivery is structured compliance program management rather than technical security assessment.
FortifyData is likely the stronger fit if: Your clients are in US regulated industries — banking, credit unions, healthcare where FFIEC, NCUA, NYDFS, and HIPAA examination environments require technical monitoring data alongside documented compliance programs. You want one cyber GRC vCISO platform covering both the technical assessment layer and the compliance management layer without reconciling data between two systems. Your differentiation as a vCISO is the quality of live technical findings you bring to clients and prospects, not just the compliance documentation you deliver around them. You need continuous vendor monitoring and pre-sales ASM capability today.
The consolidation case: If you are currently running GetCybr alongside a separate scanning tool and a TPRM Tool and a threat intel tool and something else then FortifyData consolidates various functions. Technical scanning ASM, vendor monitoring, internal assessment, cloud security posture and compliance management — framework assessments, gap analysis, remediation planning, continuous controls monitoring — exist in one platform, with findings flowing directly into the compliance layer rather than requiring manual reconciliation between two systems.

Frequently Asked Questions About GetCybr Alternatives
What is the main difference between GetCybr and FortifyData?
GetCybr is a multi-tenant vCISO and GRC platform built for MSPs delivering compliance program management across multiple client organizations simultaneously. Its strengths are architectural — per-client pricing, portfolio-wide dashboard, self-hosted deployment with BYOM LLM support, and broad international framework coverage. FortifyData is a consolidated cyber risk management platform that adds the technical layer GetCybr does not provide: direct scanning of client and vendor environments, continuous external attack surface monitoring, and compliance management grounded in live scan data rather than integration-dependent data. GetCybr manages compliance programs built on data from other tools. FortifyData generates the technical data and manages the compliance program in the same platform.
Does GetCybr perform technical scanning of client environments?
No. GetCybr’s technical data comes from 200+ integrations with existing tools in the client environment rather than from independent direct scanning. A vCISO using GetCybr cannot generate original live findings independently of the tools already running in the client environment.
Does FortifyData support multi-tenant delivery for MSPs and vCISOs?
Yes. FortifyData’s multi-tenant architecture gives each client a dedicated environment with isolated data and module configurations. The portfolio view surfaces critical risks across all clients simultaneously with drill-down to individual client environments — the same architectural capability GetCybr leads with, available in FortifyData today.
Which compliance frameworks does FortifyData support?
FortifyData covers the full set of US regulated industry frameworks including FFIEC, NCUA, NYDFS, HIPAA, CMMC, SOC 2, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, and PCI DSS, alongside major international frameworks including ISO 27001, DORA, NIS2, GDPR, and Portugal’s national cybersecurity framework. UK-specific frameworks such as Cyber Essentials and APAC frameworks such as MAS TRM and NCA ECC are not currently included. FortifyData’s AI Auditor can audit vendor documents against any user-specified framework, including frameworks not in the standard library, which removes the coverage constraint for clients with jurisdiction-specific requirements.
Does FortifyData work for vCISOs serving US regulated industries?
Yes — and this is where FortifyData’s differentiation is most concrete. vCISOs serving banking, credit union, and healthcare clients face regulatory examinations where technical monitoring data is evaluated alongside documented compliance programs. FortifyData’s direct scanning produces data that is current, attributed, and defensible in that examination context. The platform includes regulatory-specific content and workflow for FFIEC, NCUA, NYDFS, and HIPAA/OCR environments.
What is GetCybr’s self-hosted deployment option?
GetCybr offers a self-hosted deployment tier that allows MSPs to deploy the platform on their own infrastructure with full data sovereignty. This tier also supports Bring Your Own Model LLM connectivity — MSPs can connect OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, or local AI models rather than using GetCybr’s hosted AI. This is a genuine differentiator within the vCISO platform category and is not currently available in FortifyData. For MSPs with strict data residency requirements or clients in regulated environments with data sovereignty constraints, this option is worth evaluating directly with GetCybr.
