Secureframe is a compliance automation platform (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA) that added questionnaire features. FillBase is DDQ automation — purpose-built from day one.
TL;DR: Choose Secureframe if you need SOC 2/ISO 27001 compliance automation and want basic questionnaire features in the same platform. Choose FillBase if DDQ completion speed and accuracy are your primary pain — and you already have your compliance sorted.

Secureframe added questionnaire automation to their compliance platform. It leverages your compliance data — which is smart. But it's not their core product. FillBase was built from scratch for DDQ completion: format handling, knowledge base learning, source citations, and Slack workflows are the entire product, not an add-on.
If you're already paying $20K–$50K/year for Secureframe compliance automation, using their questionnaire feature feels "free." But free isn't always best. Teams that complete 5+ DDQs per month often find the accuracy and workflow gap costs more in time than a dedicated tool costs in money.
Secureframe Questionnaires is available on their higher-tier plans. Check with their sales team for current bundling — pricing varies by compliance frameworks and company size.
Absolutely. Use Secureframe for SOC 2/ISO 27001 compliance and continuous monitoring. Export your SOC 2 report and upload it to FillBase as a knowledge source. The two tools complement each other.
FillBase is purpose-built for questionnaire accuracy: it extracts, matches, and cites from your documents with ~90% auto-fill. Secureframe pulls from your compliance data, which covers standard questions well but may miss custom or nuanced DDQ questions.
