A procurement-stage decision guide. Every cell below cites the Thoropass page it came from, and carries the date we last verified it. If a row looks out of date, email us at hello@raizehq.dev and we'll re-check.
When Raize Orion is the better fit
You already have an auditor (or want to choose one freely) and need the software, not a bundled attestation.
You need IASME Cyber Assurance or ISO 22301 (neither is on Thoropass's public frameworks list).
You need EU data residency by contract.
You want a single all-in price per tier that does not climb with team size or framework count.
You want a UK-based team and direct founder access, plus a documented NIS2 reporting clock.
When Thoropass may be the better fit
You want one vendor for both the compliance software and the audit — Thoropass Assurance is an AICPA-registered CPA firm, so there are no hand-offs to a separate auditor.
You need HITRUST or SOC 1 at the depth Thoropass invests (Raize does not ship these today).
Your buyer base is US-only and EU data residency is not a procurement gate.
Including this block is intentional — buyers spot one-sided comparisons instantly, and that costs more trust than it earns.
Capability-by-capability
Every row stamped with a per-row "Last verified" date and a source link.
Compliance software + the audit itself
Raize Orion
Compliance software. You bring your own auditor; Raize provides the auditor portal, evidence base and control map. Raize does not perform audits.
Thoropass
Bundles the actual audit delivery — Thoropass Assurance is an AICPA-registered CPA firm, so software + audit come "under one roof"
Note: This is Thoropass's genuine differentiator and may be the deciding factor — if you want one vendor for both the software and the attestation, Thoropass is purpose-built for that. Raize is deliberately auditor-agnostic.
Sales-led, GBP-default. Three tiers, no per-employee scaling.
Thoropass
Not published on the public pricing page — quote-based / sales-led (software + audit bundled). No public figures on Thoropass-owned pages.
Note: Neither vendor publishes full pricing. Third-party dollar estimates exist for Thoropass but are not stated on their own site, so we do not assert them here.
Your evidence base + control catalogue migrates with you — we import existing evidence + policy adoption history under a structured engagement.
Auditor portal tokens get re-issued under Raize's scope-bounded model. Your existing auditor sees the same data with a new login URL.
Sub-processor list updates from Thoropass's to ours (Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Resend, Anthropic, Voyage, Sentry, Cloudflare, GitHub). Customers must be informed under your DPA terms.
Billing moves to GBP-default, sales-led contract. MSA + DPA on request.
30-day overlap window standard for migration of compliance-in-flight programmes.
