CST VerdictBased on our analysis of NIST CSF 2.0 coverage, core features, integrations, company size fit, here is our conclusion:
Higher education security teams managing vendor risk on thin budgets should start with SaltyCloud Isora Lite because it eliminates the friction of manual HECVAT distribution and gives you a shared assessment database so you're not duplicating work across your institution. The InCommon Federation integration means your existing identity infrastructure plugs straight in, and the community database lets you inherit assessments from peer schools rather than reinventing the wheel. Skip this if you need continuous vendor monitoring or real-time threat intelligence; Isora Lite is assessment-first and doesn't replace ongoing vendor surveillance, only the initial intake.
Mid-market and enterprise security teams drowning in vendor questionnaires will get real value from Panorays; it automates the intake process while actually verifying what vendors claim through external attack surface reconnaissance. The platform covers GV.SC supply chain risk and ID.RA assessment, meaning you're not just collecting forms,you're validating them against observable attack surface data. Skip this if you need deep integration with your existing GRC workflow or if your vendors are mostly small, non-technical shops that can't handle the technical assessments Panorays demands.
