Drata Alternative: Aldric Comparison
EU-based compliance automation with native support for GDPR, ISO 27001 and NIS2.
The Problem
Drata offers compliance automation focused on SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA. For European companies, however, friction points arise: the platform is US-centric, GDPR-specific processes like data protection impact assessments or data subject requests are not available as standalone modules, and data processing occurs outside the EU. European regulations like NIS2, TISAX or the German Supply Chain Act are only partially or not supported at all.
Our Solution
Aldric is a compliance platform developed and hosted in the EU that covers international and European standards equally. With dedicated modules for ISMS, TOM management and business continuity, it offers comparable automation to Drata - supplemented by GDPR-native functions and support for NIS2, TISAX and the Supply Chain Act. The modular approach enables needs-based usage without platform lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Aldric support SOC 2?
Aldric focuses on European standards. Many ISO 27001 controls overlap with SOC 2 requirements, but dedicated SOC 2 automation is not the primary focus.
How does the automation differ from Drata?
Aldric uses configurable workflows rather than automatic evidence collection from cloud services. The focus is on documented processes and audit readiness.
Can I use both platforms in parallel?
Yes, parallel operation is possible. Many companies use Aldric for GDPR-specific requirements as a complement to existing tools.
How long does implementation take?
Basic configuration is possible within a few days. The modular architecture allows a gradual rollout over several weeks.
