AccountableSmall healthcare practices and health-tech startups whose main obligation is HIPAA and who want a published monthly price. sourceCompanies whose customers also ask for SOC 2 or ISO 27001; Accountable itself says to compare platforms that support those. source
Compliancy GroupHealthcare providers and their vendors who want HIPAA and OSHA training, policies and risk assessments with guided support. sourceTeams that need ISO 27001 or GDPR, or want a published price before they talk to sales. source
SecureframeSmall companies buying one framework, often a first SOC 2, that want a starting price before the sales call; and defense contractors who need CMMC, through the Defense plan. sourceTeams that need several frameworks, SSO or heavy questionnaire volume on the entry price: Fundamentals has one framework, no SSO or SCIM, and 100 AI questionnaire answers a year. source
DrataCompanies of up to 50 people that need one of SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR or Cyber Essentials, with room to add more frameworks later. sourceTeams that want to try it before a sales call, or pay month to month: there is no free plan or sign-up trial, and contracts renew yearly with no refunds. source
VantaStartups and small teams (1 to 20 people) that need one framework such as SOC 2 now and expect to add more frameworks, a Trust Center or vendor reviews later. sourceTeams that want a public price, monthly billing or a self-serve trial: every price is a quote, contracts are yearly and renew automatically, fees are non-refundable, and the trial needs Vanta's approval. source
SprintoStartups and SaaS teams of up to about 100 people getting their first SOC 2 or ISO 27001, who are happy to buy through a sales call. sourceTeams that want to try it or see a price before talking to sales: there is no trial or sign-up, only a demo, and both plans say 'Contact sales'. source

What we saw

  • Accountable (tried 2026-11-05): A free account took an email and no card. Its AI drafted 9 of 32 policies and pre-filled 54 risk questions in about three minutes, but training, policies and the risk assessment stayed locked until a paid trial, which asks for a card.
  • Compliancy Group (tried 2026-11-05): The 14-day trial opened with an emailed code and no card. The program library listed 25 programs, HIPAA and OSHA among them, but no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or GDPR program; reports and incidents were locked during the trial.

How we compared HIPAA software for small health tech

We read each vendor's pricing page on November 5, 2026, and its own AWS Marketplace listing where the site shows no price. We opened a free account at Accountable and a free trial at Compliancy Group; the others have no free way in. Only Accountable and Secureframe print a price on their own sites.

The catch: HIPAA has no certificate, but buyers ask for proof

There is no official HIPAA certification. What hospitals and partners ask for is a risk analysis, policies, training, signed business associate agreements (BAAs) and, more and more, a third-party assessment report or a SOC 2. That assessment is billed apart: audit firms publish HIPAA assessment fees from $2,000 for small teams.

What to check before you choose

  • HIPAA only, or SOC 2 next? Accountable and Compliancy Group are built around HIPAA. Secureframe, Drata and Vanta add SOC 2 and ISO 27001 when you need them.
  • Can you store health data in it? Sprinto's own terms bar storing sensitive personal information, which they define to include data concerning health. Read the terms before you put patient data in any tool.
  • Seats and contract. Accountable's Basic plan includes 15 employees; extra seats cost $9 to $19 a month. Its terms say a 12-month minimum, though the pricing page offers monthly billing.

Accountable

HIPAA only, with prices on its site: Basic $169, Plus $254 and Pro $679 a month billed yearly, or $199, $299 and $799 billed monthly. Every plan has risk assessment, policies, training and BAA tracking. The 7-day trial of a paid plan needs a card; a free account needs none but keeps the work locked. Pen testing on Pro is marked Coming Soon.

Compliancy Group

Built for healthcare, HIPAA and OSHA, with guided onboarding and a 14-day trial that needs only an email. Price on request.

Secureframe

Covers HIPAA alongside SOC 2 and ISO 27001, with a starting price on its own pricing page: $7,500 a year for Fundamentals, one framework.

Drata and Vanta

Both cover HIPAA alongside SOC 2. Drata's Foundation takes HIPAA as its one framework, $15,000 a year for up to 50 employees on its AWS listing; Vanta's Essentials is $14,000 a year for 1 to 20 employees there.

Sprinto

Covers HIPAA as a framework, but its terms bar storing data concerning health in the service. Fine for a SOC 2 at a health tech company that keeps patient data elsewhere; check with Sprinto first.

Bottom line

Start with Accountable for HIPAA alone, or try Compliancy Group first if you want guided help. When an enterprise customer asks for SOC 2, move to a multi-framework platform such as Secureframe or Drata.

Frequently asked questions

Of the platforms here, Accountable publishes the lowest price: $169 a month billed yearly ($2,028 a year) for its Basic plan. Multi-framework platforms start at $7,500 (Secureframe) to $15,000 (Drata) a year.
