Sprinto vs Kindful

About

Sprinto is a security compliance automation platform that helps SaaS companies and startups achieve and maintain SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and other security certifications faster and with less manual effort by automating evidence collection, continuous monitoring, and auditor-ready reporting. Founded in 2020 by Girish Redekar and Raghu Raj Samant in Bangalore, India, Sprinto has raised approximately $30 million and serves over 700 companies — primarily tech startups that need compliance certifications to close enterprise sales deals but lack dedicated security teams.\n\nSprinto's platform integrates with a company's existing tech stack (AWS, GCP, GitHub, GSuite, Okta, Jira) to automatically collect compliance evidence — pulling access logs, employee training completions, vulnerability scan results, and configuration data — and mapping this evidence to the specific controls required for SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Automated alerts notify security owners when controls drift out of compliance, and the audit trail is continuously maintained rather than scrambled together before an annual audit.\n\nIn 2025, Sprinto competes in the compliance automation market against Vanta (the category leader), Drata, Tugboat Logic (OneTrust), and Secureframe for SOC 2 and security compliance automation. The compliance automation market has grown significantly as enterprise procurement requirements (SOC 2 is now essentially mandatory for SaaS vendors selling to enterprises) have created demand from startups needing to achieve compliance without large security teams. Sprinto's differentiation includes its human-in-the-loop audit support (the company guides customers through the audit process end-to-end) and its India-market focus which gives it strength in the large Indian SaaS startup ecosystem. The 2025 strategy focuses on expanding compliance frameworks, growing in the US market, and launching AI-powered gap remediation recommendations.
