NIS2: 13 tools compared.

There is no single best. For a small company that needs NIS2 only, Reglyze has the cheapest published paid plan: free for one user, then from EUR 490 per organisation per year. Orbiq also has a permanent free tier and starts at EUR 850 per year. For the widest framework coverage, Vanta names 38 frameworks on its own page. For mid-market buyers with several frameworks, Kopexa lists EUR 249 per month per space. If you need NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act in one tool, Matproof fits: EUR 480 per month for one framework, EUR 1,200 per month for three. All values as of 19 August 2026, from the vendor pages.

Most vendors publish no price. As of 19 August 2026, 5 of the 13 vendors compared here show real numbers on their own site: Reglyze from EUR 490 per organisation per year with a permanent free tier, Orbiq with a free tier plus EUR 850 and from EUR 1,900 per year, CisScan from EUR 100 per month as an early-access price, Kopexa at EUR 249 and EUR 599 per month per space, and Matproof at EUR 480 per month for one framework and EUR 1,200 per month for three. The other eight route you to a sales call. Vanta, Drata, DataGuard, secjur, Secfix, Kertos, Formalize and OneTrust name plan tiers but no figures.

No. NIS2 does not require a tool. The German BSIG requires measures and evidence, not a particular product. A small company with few systems can meet the ten measures with documents and spreadsheets. Software pays off when you run several frameworks at once, when evidence has to be collected continuously, or when you need to hold the incident deadlines without manual work. Check whether you are in scope first, then the effort, then the tool.

In Germany, § 32 BSIG sets a staged duty for significant incidents: an early warning within 24 hours, a follow-up report within 72 hours, and a final report within one month. Registration with the BSI is a separate duty under § 33 BSIG. The German implementation law NIS2UmsuCG entered into force on 6 December 2025. The statutory three-month registration window closed on 6 March 2026, and the BSI extension closed on 31 July 2026. The BSI states on its own site that the statutory registration deadline has already passed.

Because we only print what a vendor shows on its own site. If a pricing page carries no figure, there is no figure here. If a security page names no data centre country, there is no country here. We do not guess and we do not take values from review sites. A wrong claim about a named competitor is a legal risk, not a copy problem.

Not automatically. Of the 13 vendors compared here, 11 name DORA on their own site: Vanta, Drata, Secfix, secjur, CisScan, Kertos, Kopexa, Orbiq, Formalize, OneTrust and Matproof. Reglyze does not name DORA. We found no DORA page at DataGuard. At Kertos, DORA is absent from the frameworks directory and appears only on the fintech page. If you are a financial entity under DORA, ask in the demo specifically about the register of information under Article 28 DORA. A framework tile on a website is not a register.

No. Matproof is compliance management software. Matproof does not audit anyone and does not certify anyone. Audits and certification are always carried out by an independent accredited body. The software collects evidence, runs policies and prepares the audit.

It depends on the vendor and many do not say. As of 19 August 2026, 6 of 13 name a place: CisScan names Helsinki, Kopexa names Paris, Formalize names AWS Frankfurt, secjur names Germany, Kertos names AWS EMEA in Luxembourg and a data centre in Regensburg, and Matproof names Hetzner Falkenstein and Nuremberg plus AWS eu-central-1 in Frankfurt. Vanta names AWS with no region. Drata names AWS and Google Cloud with no region. Secfix and Orbiq name Europe with no country. DataGuard and OneTrust name nothing. Ask for the subprocessor list before you sign.
