Nuronus's answer

Built for MSPs, not enterprises. Every compliance tool on the market was built for companies managing their own compliance. Nuronus is built for MSPs managing compliance across many clients. Multi-tenant from day one — not bolted on.

You can actually see the price. Every competitor hides pricing behind "contact sales." Ours is on the website. Free for 2 clients, $99 to scale. No sales call required.

White-label is standard, not an upsell. Your clients see your brand on every report, every portal, every email. Included at every tier. Competitors charge extra or don't offer it at all.

Compliance gaps become tasks automatically. Other tools show you what's wrong. Nuronus turns every gap into an assignable, trackable remediation task organized by client and framework.

No agent, no disruption. Read-only OAuth integrations. Nothing installed on your clients' machines. Zero attack surface added. Connect in 15 minutes.

It's a revenue platform, not just an audit tool. Nuronus is designed around the MSP business model — package compliance as a monthly service, bill $300-$2,000/client, deliver professional reports that justify the retainer. The service playbook is built into the product.

Founder-led, bootstrapped, MSP-focused. No venture capital dictating enterprise sales motions. Built by someone with 20+ years in IT infrastructure who watched MSPs struggle with compliance tooling that wasn't designed for them. Every feature came from a real MSP conversation.

CGPulse's answer:

Three things. First, an MCP server. Claude or any MCP client can run compliance scans, read findings, and trigger auto-remediation through natural language. No other CSPM ships this. Second, public self-serve pricing (€99/€299/month, Stripe checkout, no demo required) in a category where the norm is six-figure enterprise contracts. Third, every finding ships with Terraform and Bicep templates so teams apply fixes through their own change management, not a vendor UI.

Nuronus's answer

Because you can start delivering compliance services to a client this afternoon.

With Cynomi, you schedule a sales call, negotiate pricing, sit through onboarding, and maybe run your first assessment in a few weeks. With Drata or Vanta, you're buying a tool designed for a company managing its own SOC 2 — not an MSP managing 20 clients.

With Nuronus, you sign up, connect a client's M365, and have a white-label compliance report in your hands in 15 minutes. Free. No sales call. No credit card.

Specifically:

Over Cynomi — You know what it costs before you sign up. No per-assessment fees that eat your margin as you scale. Full cloud coverage (AWS, Azure, GCP) that Cynomi doesn't have. White-label included, not extra.

Over Drata / Vanta / Secureframe — Those are built for companies doing their own compliance. You need multi-tenant. You need white-label. You need to manage 20 clients from one dashboard, not 20 separate accounts. They don't do that.

Over ComplianceEZ / Beachhead — No agent to install on every endpoint. Nuronus is API-only, read-only, zero footprint on client machines. Broader framework coverage. Not locked into one vendor's ecosystem.

Over spreadsheets — You already know. It doesn't scale, it's not billable, it looks unprofessional, and you're one audit away from embarrassment.

The real reason: Nuronus is the only compliance platform where an MSP owner can go from "I've never offered compliance services" to "I just delivered a professional compliance report to a client" in a single afternoon, without spending a dollar or talking to a salesperson. Every competitor requires either money, time, or a meeting before you can even see the product.

CGPulse's answer:

Price and speed to value. Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Orca typically start at $50k/year with six-week rollouts and sales gatekeepers. CGPulse is €99 to €299 per month with public pricing and a 60-second self-serve onboarding. You get 621 policy rules across 19 compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CIS v8), the same category coverage, without enterprise overhead. For teams preparing their first audit, that's the difference between starting this quarter or next year.

Nuronus's answer

MSP owners and operations managers who are watching competitors win deals by offering compliance services, and are tired of answering client compliance questions with spreadsheets and guesswork.

The typical Nuronus user: - Runs an MSP with 5-50 employees - Manages 10-100 small business clients - Clients are in healthcare, finance, legal, or any regulated industry - Knows compliance is billable but can't justify hiring a GRC analyst - Currently handles compliance with spreadsheets, Word docs, or not at all - Wants to add $300-$2,000/client/month in compliance revenue without adding headcount

Secondary audience: - Security consultancies and vCISO practitioners delivering compliance to multiple clients - MSSPs adding compliance-as-a-service to their portfolio - IT consultancies expanding into security and compliance

Who Nuronus is NOT for: - Enterprises managing their own internal compliance (that's Drata/Vanta) - Auditors or certification bodies - Single-client businesses that need SOC 2 for themselves - MSPs who only do break-fix and don't plan to offer managed services

CGPulse's answer:

Small and mid-size DevOps and platform teams, typically 10 to 200 people, running production workloads on Azure and AWS. Often they're preparing for their first SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit, or their first customer security review. Many have tried open-source scanners (Prowler, ScoutSuite) and found the detection useful but the workflow missing. Others have been quoted by enterprise CSPM and found it outside their budget. CGPulse is built for the gap between those two.

CGPulse's answer:

.NET 10 with Blazor Server for the portal. Azure Cosmos DB for tenant and scan data, Azure App Service plus Azure Functions for the backend, Azure Service Bus for scan orchestration. Cloud scanning uses the Azure ARM SDK and AWS SDK directly. No agents, no proxies. Stripe for subscription billing. MCP server built on the ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore library. Hosted entirely in Azure North Europe with per-tenant Cosmos partition keys.

Nuronus's answer

I spent 20 years in IT infrastructure and security, including managing compliance for a large corporation. My job was tracking compliance across different lines of business and departments — and the tools I had were massive spreadsheets.

I'd spend hours mapping controls to frameworks, tracking which departments were compliant, which had gaps, and chasing people down to resolve findings. Every audit cycle was the same fire drill: pull data from scattered systems, rebuild the spreadsheet, hope nothing fell through the cracks.

I built Nuronus because I wanted the tool I never had. Something that mapped controls automatically, tracked gaps across multiple business units, showed me who was compliant and who wasn't at a glance, and turned findings into tasks that people could actually resolve.

When I saw MSPs dealing with the exact same problem — tracking compliance across dozens of clients instead of departments, using the same spreadsheets, running the same fire drills — I knew the tool I built for myself could work for them too.

That's what Nuronus is. The compliance platform I wished existed when I was the one managing it by hand.

CGPulse's answer:

It started a year ago with a simple wish: one clear view of what was actually running across my Azure and AWS accounts. Not console-hopping, a real map. Once the map was working, the obvious next layer was security. Not "here's a VM" but "here's a VM and here's what's wrong with it".

What I kept wishing for was honest answers with honest fixes. Not a red light on a dashboard, but guidance you can act on. Real automation where it's safe, and clear "do this, then this" steps where it isn't.

So a small scanner became a rule engine. Rules became compliance frameworks. Findings grew actual Terraform, Bicep, and CLI you can run. Then AWS support landed on top.

CGPulse today is a multi-cloud governance platform built around three promises: Connect, Govern, Protect. Connect your Azure and AWS accounts and see every resource in one view. Govern with 621 policy rules across 19 compliance frameworks. Protect with auto-remediation where it's safe and IaC export where the change needs human review.
