Wiz Alternative for MSPs
and External Security
Wiz is the fastest-growing cloud security platform — built for enterprises with massive AWS, Azure, and GCP deployments. Its pricing is custom and not publicly listed, and it solves cloud infrastructure problems that most MSP clients don't have. If you need external domain security assessment, here's a better fit.
What Wiz Is Built For
Wiz is a cloud security posture management (CSPM) platform that connects to your AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts to scan for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, secrets, and lateral movement paths. It's built for cloud-native enterprises running complex multi-cloud infrastructure.
Wiz is a strong choice for:
- Enterprises running complex multi-cloud infrastructure
- Cloud security teams needing CSPM, CWPP, and CIEM in one platform
- Organizations with hundreds of cloud accounts to secure
- Companies needing to visualize attack paths across cloud resources
Where Wiz falls short for MSPs:
- Custom enterprise pricing (not publicly listed) — quoted through an enterprise sales process
- Requires cloud account access — does not scan domains externally
- Built for cloud infrastructure, not external security posture
- Little to offer clients running on-premises or simple hosting
- Not shaped around an MSP multi-tenant workflow or white-label reporting

Common questions
Is ComplianceLayer a replacement for Wiz?
No — they are fundamentally different tools. Wiz scans cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) from the inside, finding misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and lateral movement paths within your cloud environment. ComplianceLayer scans domains from the outside, checking DNS, SSL, email authentication, open ports, and security headers. For MSPs doing external security assessments, ComplianceLayer is the right tool.
Can I use ComplianceLayer alongside Wiz?
Yes, and it makes sense for organizations with both cloud infrastructure and external-facing domains. Wiz handles cloud security posture management (CSPM), while ComplianceLayer handles external security posture. They cover different attack surfaces with zero overlap.
Does ComplianceLayer scan cloud infrastructure like Wiz?
No. ComplianceLayer does not connect to AWS, Azure, or GCP accounts. It runs 15 external security modules against domains — checking what the internet can see. If you need cloud security posture management, Wiz is purpose-built for that. If you need external domain security assessment, ComplianceLayer is purpose-built for that.
Does ComplianceLayer work for cyber insurance audits?
Yes. The scan output maps directly to the security questions most cyber insurers ask — email authentication, SSL validity, exposed administrative ports, and security headers. ComplianceLayer reports are designed to help you review clients against common insurer security expectations before underwriting.
