🏆 Alternatives
Qualys PC is not a GRC platform for managing documents and high-level policies; it is a technical compliance and configuration assessment tool. Compared to competitors, its primary advantage is its cloud-native architecture, which simplifies deployment and management, and its tight integration with a broad suite of other security tools on the same platform.
