Hyperproof
Compliance work eats engineering time. Hyperproof exists to give that time back by automating the parts of GRC that don't need a human: pulling evidence out of GitHub, Jira, ServiceNow, Snyk, and cloud storage on a schedule, running recurring tests against high-frequency controls, and kicking off a task automatically the moment something fails instead of waiting for the next audit cycle to find out. Under the hood, Hyperproof maps one control to 160+ frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST, and others), so a control tested once can satisfy several standards instead of forcing teams to rebuild the same work per framework. AI agents handle the first pass on evidence review and gap-flagging, leaving humans to make the actual judgment calls rather than hunting down documentation. Teams using it report cutting audit prep by roughly 350 hours a year, a 66% drop in duplicate controls, and about $150K saved annually on control orchestration. It also scales to messier org charts, with the ability to scope controls by business unit or entity instead of flattening everything into one program. Built in 2018 out of the Seattle area, Hyperproof is used by engineering and security-heavy orgs like Reddit, Fortinet, Appian, and Outreach that are tired of treating compliance as a manual, spreadsheet and email process and want it to run more like the rest of their infrastructure: automated, monitored, and auditable.

Description

The F5 Distributed Cloud Platform offers enhanced features, robust security measures, and streamlined operations superior to those provided by native cloud services. This platform is specifically designed to cater to distributed applications operating in multi-cloud, on-premises, and edge settings. As software applications transition into microservices and increasingly rely on APIs, the emergence of complex and highly distributed architectures brings about challenges, escalated costs, and heightened risks. To effectively deliver applications, it is necessary to deploy and manage various appliances, software, and connectivity services. Conventional CDNs and hub-and-spoke networks fall short when it comes to supporting immersive or large-scale SaaS applications. With differing APIs, policies, and levels of observability, there is a pressing need for significant investments in automation. Applications that are distributed across various environments often face unequal protection levels. Furthermore, achieving alignment among DevOps, NetOps, and SecOps during service provisioning and security poses significant challenges, particularly when relying on ticket-based workflows, which can hinder efficiency and responsiveness. Addressing these complexities is crucial for optimizing the management of distributed applications.
