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.

When to pick which

  • Pick ISO-STANDARD.app if ISO 27001, ISO 42001 (AI governance) or ISO 9001 is your driver, and you want to be inside the tool today at a published price.
  • Pick Vanta if SOC 2 is your primary driver, you have budget for a five-figure annual contract, and you want the broad "trust platform" surface (customer trust page, vendor risk, etc.).

Why this platform exists

Enterprise-grade governance — built for the SMEs and consultants enterprise GRC forgets.

I've spent 25 years in corporate governance — aligning technology, controls and compliance with what the business is actually trying to do. Time and again, the same pattern: the organisations that win new clients aren't the ones with the biggest GRC budget. They're the ones who can demonstrate trust on demand. This platform is the tool I wanted for the SMEs and consultants I've worked with — institutional-grade governance without an institutional price tag, built on the way audits and buyer reviews actually happen.
