ISO-STANDARD.app vs Vanta
Vanta pioneered SOC 2 automation and added ISO 27001 later. ISO-STANDARD.app is purpose-built for ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and ISO 9001 — with self-serve access, published pricing, and native internal audit, CAPA and management review that Vanta typically leaves to integrations.
