Tentacle
Tentacle is a Enterprise GRC platform tool. It describes itself as "Cybersecurity Compliance Documentation".
Acquired by Cytracom, June 2025. Kept here as a historical pointer rather than retired: Cytracom still sells the product under the Tentacle name, and Cytracom itself is not a GRC vendor and has no listing of its own.

Identity confirmed
On 2026-09-18 the address above was checked against a primary source and does belong to Tentacle. Rechecked on 2026-09-18. cytracom.com/platform/compliance/ still names Tentacle and describes it as full lifecycle compliance and cyber insurance management for MSPs, so the product survives the acquisition under its own name. tentacle.co 301-redirects to that page. HQ is the pre-acquisition Tentacle office in Plano, Texas; the acquirer Cytracom is based in McKinney, Texas. Evidence.
Frameworks Tentacle claims
Read from https://cytracom.com/platform/compliance/ on 2026-09-18. This records what the vendor states, not a certification and not an assessment.
Claims coverage
CMMC
Does not claim
SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, EU AI Act, DORA, NIS2. That means the page above does not claim these, not that the product cannot handle them. Ask.
Mentioned, but not as a claim
- NIST CSF / 800-53: the page offers to assess clients against "CMMC, NIST, CIS, and 60+ cross-walked frameworks" without naming which NIST publication, so it does not map cleanly to NIST CSF or the 800 series
