Optional add-on
Optional and independent: vulnerability management with our agent, identity security, and penetration-testing workflow. A Blaise-run test is a vulnerability assessment until a qualified person validates and signs it. Each works with the client's own tools instead, if they have them.

Full RMM operations
Blaise
Not offered
Blaise is not an RMM. It reads the RMM you already run; device management is a narrower optional add-on.

Blaise
Not offered
Blaise prepares and evidences readiness. It does not certify; the auditor or assessor issues the opinion.
Where another tool goes further, or Blaise does not go
Framework coverage
ControlMap's page states a higher framework count than the floor Blaise publishes.
Integrations that collect evidence
Vanta and Drata state far larger integration catalogues than Blaise's published collector count.
Hardware warranty coverage
ScalePad's page describes sourcing extended warranty coverage, which Blaise does not do.
Full RMM operations
If you need to run day-to-day endpoint operations, keep your RMM; Blaise works beside it.
