PowerDMS Policy vs Strike Graph

PowerDMS Policy is cloud-based policy management software for public safety agencies. It centralizes policies, procedures, and operational documents while supporting version control, review and approval workflows, acknowledgments, and audit trails. Employees can ask plain-language questions about approved policies and receive links to source documents; search history remains available to employees for 30 days. Personnel can read policies and complete electronic acknowledgments on iOS and Android devices, though the app requires an active PowerDMS license. Connections include Microsoft Office, OneDrive, Google Drive, PowerStandards, PowerReady, PowerRecall, training management, and internal affairs software. PowerDMS lists SOC 2, HIPAA, and CJIS attestations and says data uses 256-bit AES FIPS 140-2 encryption in transit and at rest. Hosting uses U.S.-based AWS GovCloud data centers with disaster recovery. The core platform requires a modern browser. Pricing is a custom quote based on selected products and agency size.

Strike Graph is a governance, risk, and compliance platform for designing, operating, and measuring security programs. It maps controls across more than 30 frameworks, helps identify security threats, and uses Verify AI to test and validate controls continuously. Compliance Atlas and Security Assistant support evidence validation and certification work. Strike Graph says integrations collect compliance evidence from more than 300 systems and tools, including AWS, Azure Active Directory, ClickUp, Confluence, GitHub, GitLab, Google Drive, Jira, Office 365, and ServiceNow. The maker says these connections use strict authentication, access controls, and encryption. Trust Center centralizes security documents for sharing with prospects, customers, auditors, and investors; Trust Chain provides visibility into vendor and partner risks. The Launch plan is free and covers SOC 2 security TSC, limited policy templates, and selected cloud and document tools. Certify is listed at $21,500 a year and Scale at $35,000 a year; Enterprise pricing is by contact. The pricing note says paid plans start at $10,000/yr.
