Hyperproof is built for larger compliance teams mapping controls across many frameworks at once. As a program-management layer it is capable: strong cross-framework mapping, control libraries, and evidence-tracking workflow. Inside that job it does well, and Lavawall® will not pretend otherwise.
Two things it leaves you to solve elsewhere. It sits above the evidence, downstream of the tools that actually collect it, and business continuity is a separate purchase. And the framework contest is not about count. It is about which frameworks, because the ones that decide a real program are often the ones a general platform does not ship at all.
Lavawall is the mapping and the platform underneath it. The same console collects the evidence from your own systems, includes continuity as a working module, and ships the frameworks, including the medical-device cybersecurity set that most of this category does not carry: FDA section 524B, Health Canada's medical device cybersecurity guidance, and the lifecycle standards behind both.
An Ontario medical-device company, selling both sides of the border
It is not a SaaS startup and not an MSP. It builds a connected device and sells it into Canada and the United States, and its obligation set is where "which frameworks" stops being an abstraction.
| Where it comes from | The instrument | Lavawall |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy | PIPEDA; Ontario PHIPA for personal health information; HIPAA as a business associate to a US covered entity; the US state breach statutes | Covers PIPEDA and HIPAA |
| Device cybersecurity | FDA section 524B (mandatory in the US premarket submission since 29 March 2023); Health Canada's pre-market cybersecurity guidance; IEC 81001-5-1, ANSI/AAMI SW96:2023, and the HSCC Joint Security Plan v2.0 | Covers all three, pre-built |
| Enterprise security | SOC 2 or ISO 27001, because hospital IT will ask | Covers both |
| Quality | FDA QMSR (in force 2 February 2026, incorporating ISO 13485:2016); Health Canada MDR; an MDSAP audit | Not covered |
The device-cybersecurity row is the one no competitor in this category ships, and FDA will refuse to accept a submission for a cyber device without it. It is also not a quality-system question, which is exactly why it is Lavawall's.
The honest part, and it is the point of the whole page. Lavawall does not cover the quality row. QMSR and ISO 13485 are quality management systems, design controls, CAPA, complaint handling, sterilization validation, labelling, and UDI, and MDSAP is an audit route rather than a standard anybody complies with. That work needs a separate program and usually a separate consultant. QMSR itself contains no cybersecurity requirements; it defers to section 524B, which is what Lavawall implements. So the line is simple: Lavawall covers what QMSR points at. A prospect who reads that here trusts everything above it; one who discovers the gap in a demo remembers being oversold.
What Lavawall® does that Hyperproof does not
Which frameworks, not how many
The count is the wrong contest; both products carry a lot. What decides a real program is whether the specific frameworks it has to hold are in the box or left to a consultant. Lavawall ships the Canadian federal and provincial instruments, the US state and municipal ones, the sector regulators, and the medical-device cybersecurity set: FDA section 524B, Health Canada's guidance, and IEC 81001-5-1, ANSI/AAMI SW96:2023, and the HSCC Joint Security Plan v2.0. A manufacturer selling on both sides of the border builds one program and evidences it twice, which is the point of assessing 524B and the Health Canada guidance side by side.
Continuity in the same product, not a separate purchase
Lavawall runs a business impact analysis with recovery time objective (RTO), recovery point objective (RPO), and maximum tolerable downtime (MTD), a dependency graph with single points of failure flagged, and continuity plans generated from that live data. It flags a process whose recovery target is longer than the downtime the business says it can survive: forty-eight hours against a twenty-four-hour tolerance is two numbers that cannot both be true. This is a working module in the same console, not a second tool to buy and wire in.
The evidence itself, collected here
Hyperproof lives above the evidence, which your other tools collect and feed in. Lavawall is the platform that collects it: its own agent on your endpoints and its own connectors into Microsoft 365, Entra, Intune, and Google Workspace, so the mapping and the evidence are the same system. When a source is not connected, Lavawall reports that the check could not run and names what it needed, rather than scoring it as a pass, and a result names its subjects, not "MFA coverage 94%" but these five accounts have no second factor.
The security platform, and it serves one organization or a book of them
The same console patches Windows, macOS, and Linux, hardens their configuration, detects breaches across Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, runs security and attack-surface scans, and gives your team remote support and a help desk, so the evidence is a by-product of the work. It is multi-tenant, so an MSP runs a book of clients from one console, and it works the same way for a single manufacturer holding several frameworks at once.

Pricing, published
Hyperproof does not publish a price. Like most of the category, it is quote-only. Lavawall publishes ours.
Lavawall® Complete
$89.50 /seat/year
Annual, two months free. A seat is the greater of your managed devices or your Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace licensed users, never both.
Starts at $2,240/year for the first 25 seats, and every compliance framework in the catalogue is included, along with the business-continuity module, your policies, and a Trust Centre.
No per-framework fee: the whole catalogue is in Complete. Volume discounts start at 51 seats.
Hyperproof
Quote only / not published
Hyperproof does not list a public price on its own site or a marketplace, so a buyer cannot compare without a sales call.
A published number is the first thing a buyer can check. Hyperproof asks you to book a call to find out.

Lavawall®’s price is on this page and on the pricing page. Hyperproof’s is a conversation with sales, and that difference is the point.
For most of these buyers, though, the real alternative to Lavawall is not another compliance platform at all. It is a consultant at $15,000 to $40,000 and a spreadsheet, repeated every year, with nothing left behind between engagements. See the full pricing page for the calculator.
When Hyperproof is the better choice
If you are a large compliance team that has already built its evidence pipelines and wants the deepest control-mapping and program-management workflow across a big set of standard frameworks, Hyperproof is built for that and does it well. Lavawall is the better fit when the frameworks you need are the unusual ones, when you would rather the platform collect the evidence than ingest it, and when continuity belongs in the same product.
Frequently asked
- Does Lavawall cover medical-device cybersecurity?
- Yes. Lavawall ships pre-built frameworks for FDA section 524B, Health Canada's pre-market medical device cybersecurity guidance, and the lifecycle standards behind both (IEC 81001-5-1, ANSI/AAMI SW96:2023, and the HSCC Joint Security Plan v2.0). It does not cover the quality-management side, QMSR and ISO 13485, which are a separate program; it covers the cybersecurity content those regulators point at.
- Does Lavawall replace our quality management system?
- No, and no security platform should claim to. QMSR, Health Canada's MDR, and an MDSAP audit are quality management systems covering design controls, CAPA, complaint handling, and the rest. They need a separate program and usually a separate consultant. Lavawall covers the cybersecurity content of a submission, which is what section 524B requires and what QMSR itself defers to.
- How is Lavawall different from Hyperproof?
- Hyperproof is a program-management layer that maps controls across frameworks and sits above the evidence, which other tools collect. Lavawall is the mapping and the platform underneath it: the same console collects the evidence, includes business continuity, and ships the frameworks rather than leaving the unusual ones to a consultant.
- When is Hyperproof the better choice?
- If you are a large compliance team that already has its evidence pipelines built and wants the deepest control-mapping across a big set of standard frameworks, Hyperproof is built for that.
