GetCybr vs Risk Cognizance: MSP-Native vs Enterprise GRC
The MSP-First Difference
MSPs and security consultancies choose GetCybr over Risk Cognizance for three core reasons.
Built for Service Providers
Risk Cognizance is designed for a company's internal GRC team. GetCybr is designed for MSPs and security consultancies managing GRC across 10, 20, or 50+ client organisations — with multi-tenant isolation and portfolio-wide visibility.
Per-Client Economics
Enterprise GRC licensing doesn't align with MSP business models. GetCybr's per-client-per-year pricing means costs scale with your client base, not with enterprise procurement cycles.
White-Label Everything
Deliver compliance reports, risk dashboards, and board-ready summaries under your own brand. GetCybr gives MSPs a professional, branded client experience — not a tool with someone else's logo.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Risk Cognizance and how does it compare to GetCybr?
Risk Cognizance is an AI-driven GRC platform focused on enterprise cybersecurity compliance, risk management, and audit reporting for internal security teams. GetCybr is an AI-powered vCISO platform built specifically for MSPs and security consultancies managing multiple client organisations — with multi-tenant architecture, per-client pricing, white-label reporting, and self-hosted BYOM deployment.
Can MSPs use Risk Cognizance to deliver vCISO services?
Risk Cognizance was designed for enterprise internal compliance, not for multi-client service delivery. It lacks the multi-tenant architecture, per-client billing model, portfolio-wide dashboard, and white-label capabilities that MSPs need to deliver vCISO services at scale. GetCybr is purpose-built for this use case.
What is the best GRC platform for managed security service providers?
GetCybr is the AI-powered GRC platform built specifically for MSSPs and MSPs. It combines compliance automation across 50+ frameworks, AI-driven risk assessment, TPRM, and white-label board reporting in a multi-tenant platform with per-client-per-year pricing — enabling service providers to scale their GRC practice without proportionally growing headcount.
Does GetCybr support the same compliance frameworks as Risk Cognizance?
GetCybr supports 50+ compliance frameworks including SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, NIST 800-53, NIS2, DORA, NCA, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, CMMC, and CIS Controls. Enterprise and Self-Hosted tiers also support unlimited custom frameworks for bespoke client requirements.
How does GetCybr differ from enterprise GRC tools for MSPs?
Enterprise GRC tools like Risk Cognizance are built for a single organisation managing its own compliance. GetCybr is the MSP-native alternative — purpose-built for service providers managing compliance, risk, and security programmes across multiple client organisations from a single multi-tenant platform with per-client billing.
