What Sets KSM Apart
Four capabilities no other compliance platform offers at any price.
Your data never leaves your servers. Vanta and Drata are cloud-only SaaS — your compliance data lives on their infrastructure.
Apache 2.0 licensed. Competitors charge $15,000–$100,000/year. KSM is open source — download, run, and audit.
Full 178-rule scan in 30 seconds, every 6 hours automatically. Vanta and Drata run periodic checks with hours-long delays.
