Secureframe alternative

Secureframe alternative for DPDP
and proof of consent.

A sourced comparison for teams with Indian users or consent to collect, including where Secureframe is ahead.

01

Who should choose TryTrustable over Secureframe?

Consider TryTrustable instead of Secureframe if you process Indian users' personal data under the DPDP Act, need consent collected and proven on your own sites with a hash-chained ledger, or want Indian data kept in India. Stay with Secureframe for US public-sector frameworks, its questionnaire automation and its in-house compliance experts.

Both cover SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, ISO 42001, the NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act. The differences are DPDP, consent collection, what the AI features are for, and hosting regions.

As of September 2026. Secureframe cells are taken from Secureframe's own public pages, footnoted below; “not stated publicly” means we could not find it there, not that it does not exist. Vendors change quickly: check the linked page before relying on a cell.

When TryTrustable fits better than Secureframe

You have Indian users. DPDP is not in Secureframe's framework list[2]; its blog suggests mapping it to other frameworks[3]. TryTrustable models the Act, the DPDP Rules 2025 and the CERT-In directions directly. The DPDP guide explains what they require.

Consent that runs on your site. TryTrustable's consent management platform resolves the applicable regime per visitor, blocks trackers until the visitor agrees and writes each choice, with notice version and language, to an append-only, hash-chained ledger.

AI you build. AI governance registers your models, prompts and MCP servers and runs judge-scored evaluations, so ISO 42001 and EU AI Act evidence describes the system you ship.

Data in India. Indian customer data is resident in India, stated on the security page. Secureframe lists US East and London[7].

04

When Secureframe is the better choice

Secureframe is the better fit in several respects.

  • US public sector. FedRAMP, GovRAMP, CMMC, CJIS and TX-RAMP are on its list[1][2], with a dedicated Defense plan for CMMC[9].
  • Questionnaire automation. Secureframe Trust answers security questionnaires with AI and states 90%+ accuracy[10].
  • Integrations. 300+ integrations per its integrations page[5].
  • Expert support. Secureframe states it has in-house compliance experts and former auditors[8]. We do not offer an equivalent.
  • Maturity. TryTrustable is younger, and our own SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification is in progress.

If your customers are US federal agencies or defence contractors, start with Secureframe.

05

What switching from Secureframe involves

The low-risk route is to keep Secureframe for the programme and add Consent by TryTrustable for consent collection and proof. We do not claim an automated import from Secureframe.

What carries over is the work rather than the files. The controls you operate today (access reviews, encryption, logging, vendor reviews, incident response) are the same controls in any tool. In TryTrustable each one is mapped once onto a shared control library, and cross-framework mapping carries its result to every regime that asks for it, with partial coverage recorded as partial. Your policies are documents you already own, and your past audit reports remain your records.

What does not carry over is history. Evidence in TryTrustable is timestamped when it is collected, from the day an integration connects, and every framework starts empty: a requirement with no control behind it scores as not modelled, never as met. Keep what you exported from the old tool as a record of the earlier period rather than expecting it to be re-dated. Integrations take read-only scopes, so connecting them changes nothing in your environment.

Questions

The things people ask us

Does Secureframe support the DPDP Act?

As of September 2026 the DPDP Act is not in Secureframe's framework list. Its blog suggests mapping DPDPA-required controls to other frameworks, and it offers custom frameworks, so DPDP can be built in by hand. TryTrustable ships DPDP Act, DPDP Rules 2025 and CERT-In coverage, including the Eighth Schedule notice-language requirement.

Does Secureframe have a consent management platform?

Not on its public pages as of September 2026. We found cookie notice guidance but no consent-collection product or stated CMP partnership. TryTrustable includes a consent management platform with versioned notices in 22 languages, tracker blocking and a hash-chained consent ledger, and sells it standalone as Consent by TryTrustable.

Where does Secureframe store data?

Secureframe's data residency post says customers can choose AWS US East or AWS London. An India region is not listed as of September 2026. TryTrustable hosts all customer data in India (Google Cloud, Mumbai) today, and we are expanding to Singapore, the US and the EU. Confirm the current position in writing if residency is contractual for you.

Is TryTrustable cheaper than Secureframe?

We cannot say for certain, because Secureframe lists plans and what each includes without prices. TryTrustable publishes its prices: Starter is free, Growth is $240 a month and Scale $720 a month on its pricing page. Compare a written Secureframe quote for the same frameworks and scope, and include the cost of any separate consent platform you would need alongside Secureframe.

How do Secureframe and TryTrustable differ on AI?

Secureframe's AI features mostly automate compliance work: remediation, policies, control mapping and questionnaire answers. It lists ISO 42001, the NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act as frameworks. TryTrustable registers your own models, prompts and MCP servers and runs judge-scored evaluations, evidencing the results against those three frameworks.

Can we run Consent by TryTrustable next to Secureframe?

Yes. The consent product is one script tag for the banner plus its own dashboard, and it does not depend on replacing your compliance tool. Secureframe can keep running your programme while TryTrustable collects and proves consent. Moving later is a setting, not a migration of consent data.
