Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Thoropass launched MCP in July 2026 and claimed over 50 customers in 60 days.
  • It named to Inc. 5000 for the third straight year in August 2026.
  • September 2026 ISO 27001 accreditation expands sellable audit services globally and widens enterprise reach.

What critics are saying

  • Crowded compliance software rivals Vanta, Drata, and Hyperproof compress pricing and attention.
  • Thoropass still depends on founder-led execution after raising $97.95M, limiting strategic flexibility.
  • If AI-native audit tools become table stakes, Thoropass loses its differentiation by 2027.

What makes Laika unique

  • Laika rebranded as Thoropass in 2023, unifying software, auditors, and assurance.
  • Its 2026 MCP server connects AI agents directly into audit workflows.
  • Thoropass holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification audit accreditation and AICPA peer-review strength.
