Moving from Secureframe to Lavawall®
- Export what you need from Secureframe. Its documentation describes this: evidence exports as CSV; readiness reports export from Frameworks.
- Start a free Lavawall® trial and add your companies.
- Start the GRC module, pick your frameworks, and install the Lavawall® agent through your current RMM so evidence starts collecting on its own. GRC and RMM work together but can be used separately.
- Set up each feature from the table above. The how-to articles to start with: Evidence Library, Compliance Frameworks, Risk Register, People Security.
- Run both side by side and turn Secureframe off one company at a time, when your team is ready.
Where Secureframe may fit better
If SOC 2 is your only framework and you plan to keep a separate RMM indefinitely, a SOC 2-focused tool such as Secureframe may be enough on its own.
