Strengths and trade-offs

What to weigh

Where Cority is strong

  • Depth for large programs: standard investigations, verified actions and dashboards across sites.
  • Cortex AI has a Control Center. Admins manage model choice, privacy, audit trails and costs (December 2025).
  • Documented security: FedRAMP authorized hosting, ISO 27001 and 27018 alignment, encryption, role based access and audit logs.
  • A hospital offering for staff health covers clinic visits, screening and billing.
  • Cority says Verdantix named it a Leader in its 2026 Green Quadrant for EHS Software for the seventh year running.

Trade-offs to consider

  • No self serve path or public price. A setup project sets scope and cost.
  • A UK G-Cloud listing says mobile supplements the desktop service. Confirm which workflows work fully offline.
  • Healthcare coverage is staff health. Patient safety events, QAPI, survey packets and a BAA are not described.
  • OSHA support is described at a high level. Ask for a demo of Forms 300, 300A and 301 and ITA export.
  • SSO is not stated on the pages reviewed. MFA, role based access and audit logs are.
Choosing

Choose Cority if

  • You are a large, regulated or global employer wanting many safety programs on one platform.

Choose IncidentKit if

  • Your incidents involve patients or residents. You need a BAA, QAPI summaries and survey packets.
  • You want one flat price per site, with no seats, modules or setup fee, and a free plan for non patient incidents.

Switching

Moving from Cority to IncidentKit

Why teams move

  • Care setting incidents that an enterprise suite skips.
  • A wish for a lighter product and flat pricing.
  • Needing only incident and corrective action tools.
  • A preference for a self serve start with a free plan.

How migration works

Cority's UK G-Cloud listing says reports export data at no cost. Full database backups or data extracts cost extra. Get the export option in writing before you give notice. IncidentKit imports CSV files and sets up migration for you. OSHA 300, 300A and 301 exports are rolling out, so keep your current OSHA records until then.
