BlackSheep Pricing, Plans, and Everything You Need to Know Before Signing Up
No pricing page games. No "contact sales for a quote." Here is exactly what BlackSheep costs, what you get, and what you do not get.
How much does BlackSheep cost?
$249 per month. That is the price. There are no tiers, no per-user fees, no setup costs, and no hidden charges. Every feature in the platform is included. Your entire firm gets access — whether you have three employees or thirty.
Is there a contract?
No. BlackSheep is month-to-month. Cancel anytime. There is no annual commitment, no cancellation fee, and no multi-year lock-in. You stay because the platform works, not because a contract says you have to.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. 14-day free trial with full access to everything. No feature restrictions, no watermarks, no artificial limitations. You can also run the free security scan without creating an account or entering a credit card. It shows you exactly what the platform does with your actual domain.
What is included?
Everything. Specifically:
- Domain security scanning. External scan of your domain for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps.
- Policy generation. Written Information Security Policy (WISP), Incident Response plan, and all required compliance documentation — generated from your actual environment, not generic templates.
- Risk assessment. Guided risk assessment mapped to your regulatory framework.
- Continuous monitoring. Ongoing scanning so you know the moment something changes.
- Evidence collection. Automated evidence gathering for audits and examinations.
- Compliance dashboard. Single view of your compliance posture across all applicable frameworks.
- Reg S-P alignment. Built specifically for the SEC's amended Regulation S-P requirements.
What is NOT included?
Transparency goes both ways. Here is what BlackSheep does not do:
- Legal advice. BlackSheep is a compliance platform, not a law firm. We generate documentation and track controls. Your counsel reviews and approves.
- Custom consulting. The platform is self-service with guided workflows. If you need someone to sit in your office for a week, that is a different engagement.
- Penetration testing. We run external security scans. Full penetration testing is a separate service with a separate scope.
- Employee training delivery. BlackSheep tracks training completion and documents it for compliance. You deliver the training — or use whichever training provider you prefer.
Do I need to install anything?
No. BlackSheep is entirely cloud-based. It works in your browser. Domain scanning is external — there are no agents, no software installations, and nothing running on your systems. You sign up, point it at your domain, and it works.
Does it work with my MSP?
Yes. BlackSheep handles compliance documentation and monitoring. Your MSP continues handling IT operations — firewalls, patching, endpoint management, help desk. They complement each other. Your MSP keeps your systems running. BlackSheep proves you are compliant.
What frameworks do you support?
All of these, included in the $249/month price:
- SEC Reg S-P
- NYDFS 500
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
- FINRA Cybersecurity
- DOL EBSA
- Cyber Insurance Readiness
You do not need to pick a plan per framework. Everything is included. If your firm falls under multiple regulatory requirements, BlackSheep maps your controls across all of them simultaneously.
How is this different from Vanta, Secureframe, or Drata?
Those platforms are built for tech companies pursuing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. Different regulations, different controls, different audience. BlackSheep is built specifically for SEC-regulated investment advisers. The controls map to SEC expectations. The language matches what examiners look for. The price reflects the reality that a 15-person RIA is not a 500-person SaaS company.
If you need SOC 2, those platforms are great. If you need Reg S-P compliance, they were not built for that.
How long does setup take?
Most firms are compliance-ready in 5 to 7 days. Not months. The platform is designed to get you from zero to documented, defensible compliance posture in under a week. That includes domain scanning, policy generation, risk assessment, and evidence collection.
Can I see a demo?
Two options. First, just run the free security scan. It takes 30 seconds and shows you exactly what the platform finds on your domain. No account required.
Second, book a 30-minute call: calendly.com/blacksheep-kyle/30min. Kyle will walk you through the platform live with your actual data.
$249/month. No tiers. No contracts. See it for yourself.
