Covenant vs SecurityScorecard

SecurityScorecard's letter-grade ratings are well known — and so is the price tag. For a small practice or MSP, five figures a year plus a per-vendor fee is hard to justify when you monitor a few dozen vendors. Covenant gives you flat pricing, scores you can actually explain, and free HIPAA BAA tracking.

Why teams switch

Cheaper, clearer, and HIPAA-aware

Pay for what you use

No per-vendor monitoring fee. Register 12 vendors or 120 — at the Team tier the price doesn't move.

Scores you can defend

A letter grade that drops without explanation is useless in an audit. Covenant shows the exact factor and delta behind every change, and lets you dispute it.

Built for PHI obligations

Native §164.504(e) BAA tracking, clause gap-check, and subcontractor flow-down — the workflow ratings vendors leave to your spreadsheet.
