What does Apptega do?
Apptega is led by Dave Colesante. Apptega says it serves 1,000+ MSSPs, MSPs and businesses. Apptega is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
Evidence collection
Partial · Vendor claims automated evidence sync via a 'library of 16+ connectors'; an independent MSP-practitioner discussion describes the product as more assessment/questionnaire-driven than a fully automated evidence-pull tool (see Reddit source).
Auditor workspace
Available · Dedicated 'Audit Manager' module: 'Speed prep, share evidence & validate controls.'
Trust center
Not available · Apptega's own public security/trust page is 'Powered by Conveyor,' a competing trust-center vendor; no customer-facing trust-center module is listed among Apptega's own platform products.
Security questionnaires
Available · Dedicated 'Security Questionnaire Automation' product module.
Enterprise administration
Partial · The current pricing table lists basic SSO on Essentials, SAML-based SSO on Plus and Premium, sub-accounts as an add-on on Plus and Premium, and Multiple Workspaces as a Premium add-on.
Scope and limits
The current pricing table lists basic SSO on Essentials, SAML-based SSO on Plus and Premium, sub-accounts as an add-on on Plus and Premium, and Multiple Workspaces as a Premium add-on. It does not publish SCIM support, so the roll-up remains partial.
Continuous control testing
Partial · Apptega brands itself around 'continuous compliance' and continuous monitoring of security status, but public pages describe assessment/scoring updates rather than confirmed automated, scheduled control tests.
Multi-framework support
Partial · 'Framework Crosswalking' is an explicit, named core product ('Manage multi-framework programs as one'), meaning additional frameworks are cross-mapped off a shared control set rather than each getting a fully independent native control library.
