The Vanta Alternative Built for EU Businesses
Vanta is a strong product — for US enterprises. If you're an EU SMB needing GDPR, AI Act, NIS2, or DORA compliance, you're paying 16× more for a tool that wasn't built for your regulations. ComplyOne was.
Why EU Companies Switch from Vanta
16× cheaper
Vanta starts at around €800/month (annual contract required). ComplyOne starts at €49/month, monthly. For most EU SMBs, Vanta's pricing is simply not built for their budget.
Swiss-hosted — CLOUD Act safe
Vanta runs on US cloud infrastructure, subject to the US CLOUD Act. US authorities can legally request access to data stored there. ComplyOne's data stays in Switzerland — no CLOUD Act exposure.
EU-first, not EU-as-an-afterthought
Vanta was built for SOC 2 and US markets. EU regulations like GDPR, AI Act, NIS2, DORA, and FADP were added later. ComplyOne was built from day one for EU compliance — the coverage is deeper and more accurate.
Running in 5 minutes
Vanta's enterprise onboarding takes days. ComplyOne is self-serve: answer a few questions, get your compliance gap, and start fixing it — all without a sales call.

Is ComplyOne a direct replacement for Vanta?
For EU-based SMBs focused on GDPR, AI Act, NIS2, DORA, and similar EU regulations — yes. If your primary need is SOC 2 certification or ISO 27001 for US enterprise customers, Vanta has a stronger offering there. ComplyOne is the right choice if EU regulatory compliance is your priority.
Does ComplyOne cover the same number of integrations as Vanta?
Vanta has a large library of integrations (AWS, GitHub, etc.) built around automated evidence collection for SOC 2. ComplyOne's integration approach focuses on EU regulatory evidence — policies, DPIAs, incident records, and vendor assessments. If you need 300+ integrations for SOC 2 automation, Vanta is the specialist.
Why is ComplyOne so much cheaper?
Vanta prices for enterprise sales cycles and US markets. ComplyOne is built as a product-led, self-serve platform — no expensive sales team, no mandatory onboarding fees, no annual lock-in. We pass that saving directly to you.
Can I migrate from Vanta to ComplyOne?
Yes. Most EU companies using Vanta primarily for GDPR or NIS2 compliance can transition to ComplyOne without losing coverage. Your existing policies and documentation can be uploaded to ComplyOne's evidence locker. The free compliance check will show you exactly which obligations are covered.
Does ComplyOne cover UK GDPR as well as EU GDPR?
Yes. ComplyOne covers both EU GDPR and UK GDPR — important for businesses operating in both markets post-Brexit. This includes UK-specific requirements: the ICO as supervisory authority, UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs), DPDI Act 2025 changes, and UK representative obligations. Vanta's UK GDPR coverage is primarily an extension of its EU GDPR module, without the UK-specific distinctions that increasingly matter for compliance.
Can I export my data and documentation from ComplyOne?
Yes — your compliance policies, evidence documents, and records are always exportable. We don't lock you in. If you later switch platforms, you take your documentation with you. This is part of our no-annual-contract approach — if ComplyOne doesn't deliver value, you should be able to leave easily. Swiss hosting also means your data is not subject to CLOUD Act requests that US-hosted platforms face.
