FOUR-PILLAR MATRIX
| PLATFORM | GOVERNANCE & COMPLIANCE | AI OBSERVABILITY (MITRE ATLAS) | AUTONOMOUS REMEDIATION | ATO & AUTHORIZATION |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RegScale | Strong (60+ frameworks) | None | Workflow-based | Strong (one-click OSCAL) |
| Wiz | Benchmark-level only | None (AI-SPM, not ATLAS) | Recommendations only | None |
| Vanta | Strong (35+ frameworks) | None | Guidance only | None |
| Drata | Strong (12+ frameworks) | None | None | None |
| Orca Security | Benchmark-level (150+) | None (has AI-SPM) | GenAI-assisted guidance | None |
| CoreStack | Moderate (2,000+ policies) | None | Auto-remediation for policies | cATO support, not generation |
| CalypsoAI | None | AI security, not ATLAS-mapped | Runtime AI defense only | None |
| Protect AI / PANW | None | MLSecOps focus | ML model guardrails only | None |
| Cisco AI Defense | None | Aligns to ATLAS but not mapped | Network-level enforcement | None |
| Sedai | None | None | True autonomous (perf/cost) | None |
| ● PolicyCortex | Full (CMMC, NIST, CIS, 12+ frameworks) | Full (MITRE ATLAS, 64 techniques) | True autonomous (write-access + rollback) | Full (SSP, POA&M, evidence) |
● BASED ON PUBLIC PRODUCT DOCUMENTATION AS OF MARCH 2026
HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPARISONS
- VS-01PolicyCortex vs WizWiz finds risk. PolicyCortex fixes it. Autonomous remediation vs visibility-only CSPM.
- VS-02PolicyCortex vs VantaVanta is commercial. PolicyCortex is federal — CMMC, NIST 800-171, FedRAMP — with autonomous remediation.
- VS-03PolicyCortex vs DrataDrata streamlines commercial compliance. We go deeper into federal + AI + remediation.
- VS-04PolicyCortex vs GCC HighGCC High is hosting. PolicyCortex is the governance layer across any cloud.
- VS-05PolicyCortex vs Prisma CloudPrisma is broad enterprise. We're defense-specific with CMMC depth.
- VS-06PolicyCortex vs RegScaleRegScale digitizes workflow. We automate the actual enforcement on cloud APIs.
