Comparison · Secureframe policy templates alternative

Auditor-grade policies, without the subscription.

Secureframe's templates are solid — but they come inside a platform that starts around $7,500 a year with no free plan and per-framework gating. Charter gives you framework-mapped, version-controlled, attestation-ready policies as a standalone product, free to start.

Charter vs Secureframe for policies

The same documented-and-attested outcome, priced for the SMB that actually needs it.

STANDALONE

Policy product, not a platform

Secureframe bundles policy into a full compliance suite. Charter is just the policy layer — focused and affordable.

FREE TIER

No paywall to start

Secureframe has no free plan; Starter lists ~$7,500/yr. Charter's free tier generates a full mapped set with versioning and attestation.

NO GATING

All frameworks included

Secureframe Starter caps you to one framework. Charter's clauses carry all framework mappings at once — no per-framework upsell.

VERSIONING

Diffs & history

Immutable versions with content hashes and clause-level redlines between any two — your change record, built in.

ATTEST

Sign-off, recorded

Read, e-sign, and bind the exact version hash with a timestamp — auditor-ready proof, no platform login for signers.

MSP

Built for MSPs

Multi-tenant authoring with per-client branding and bulk attestation reporting — a high-LTV fit suites price out of reach.

When Secureframe fits better

Confident, not absolutist.

If you want an end-to-end audit platform with automated evidence collection, integrations, and a guided path through a full SOC 2 or ISO audit, Secureframe does more than a focused policy tool. Charter's strength is the policy layer specifically — generated, mapped, versioned, attested — at a flat per-company price with a free tier, and policies that feed the rest of the DosanjhLabs suite as evidence.
