CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, company size fit, deployment model, here is our conclusion:
Mid-market and enterprise risk and compliance teams need a tool that actually tracks risk ownership across business units instead of letting remediation fall into gaps, and Allgress Risk Register does this through standardized workflows and cross-module escalation from compliance, incident, and vulnerability teams. The platform covers NIST GV.RM and GV.OV functions, meaning it forces you to document risk appetite upfront and feeds monitoring results back into strategy adjustments rather than becoming a static spreadsheet. Skip this if your organization treats risk registration as a one-time audit requirement; Allgress assumes continuous tracking and active ownership, which takes discipline to maintain.
SMB and mid-market security leaders who lack formal risk governance should use Polaris Infosec ISMA to establish baseline maturity before building a control roadmap. The assessment spans six dimensions including leadership structures, compliance alignment, and business continuity readiness, addressing gaps across NIST GV functions that most organizations skip until an audit forces the issue. Skip this if your governance framework is already documented and you need operational control validation rather than strategic foundation-building.
