Vanta Alternative: Aldric Comparison
European compliance automation with EU hosting, GDPR compliance and modular architecture.
The Problem
Vanta has established itself as a compliance automation platform, particularly for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 in the US market. For European companies, however, challenges arise: data is processed in US cloud infrastructure, the focus is on Anglo-American standards, and GDPR-specific requirements such as records of processing, data subject requests or data protection impact assessments are not natively covered. Additionally, support for European regulations like the German Supply Chain Act or industry-specific standards like TISAX is often lacking.
Our Solution
Aldric offers an EU-hosted compliance platform covering both international standards (ISO 27001, NIS2) and specifically European requirements (GDPR, Supply Chain Act, TISAX). The modular architecture allows you to use only the functions you need, while all data remains in European infrastructure. The platform supports multi-tenancy for both individual companies and consulting firms managing multiple clients.
