Short answer: Vanta covers NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act and names 38 frameworks on its own site, but it publishes no price and names no data centre region. If you want a published price and a named EU data location, look at Matproof (€290 or €690 a month, data in Germany), Kopexa (€249 a month per space, Paris), Orbiq (free tier, then €850 a year) or Reglyze (free tier, then from €490 a year). Secfix and Kertos are European too, but publish no price.
All vendor values below come from each vendor's own website, read on 19 August 2026 for our NIS2 software comparison. Matproof publishes this article and is one of the vendors in it. Prices change, so check the vendor's page before you decide.
What Vanta covers
Vanta is not a SOC 2-only tool anymore. Its own frameworks page lists NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act, ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF, and 38 frameworks in total, including BSI C5 and TISAX. If you need NIS2 next to US frameworks such as FedRAMP or CMMC, that breadth is a real advantage, and no vendor in this article names more.
Two things are missing from Vanta's public pages. There is no price on its pricing page, so you only get a number after a sales call. And its security page names AWS as the cloud provider but no region or country. For a European buyer whose procurement team asks "where exactly is our data", that means a question for the sales call, not an answer on the website.
Most European teams that compare alternatives are not looking for more frameworks. They are looking for three things:
- A price they can budget before a call. Only 5 of the 13 NIS2 vendors we checked publish one.
- A named EU data location. Several vendors write "Europe" without a country. Ask for the subprocessor list either way.
- DORA depth, not a DORA tile. A financial entity needs the register of information under Article 28 DORA. A framework logo on a website is not that register, so ask for an export in the demo.

"Not published" means the vendor's own page shows no value. It does not mean the vendor has no price or no trial. The full table with source links per cell, framework coverage and company HQ is in our NIS2 software comparison.
What Matproof offers
Matproof is compliance management software for NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, the EU AI Act and the CRA. These are the frameworks named on its pricing page.
- Data in Germany. Persistent customer data is stored in Germany. Standard AI features run on US providers under Standard Contractual Clauses. Regulated customers can switch on an EU AI option that keeps AI processing in the EU.
- DORA register of information. The Article 28 register for ICT third-party providers is a product feature, not a template.
- Policies in German and English. Policy drafts come out in the language your board and your auditor read.
- Audit-ready in about 4 weeks. That is the time to get your controls and evidence ready. The audit and the certificate always come from an independent body. Matproof is software, not an auditor.
- Self-serve. A 14-day trial, card required, €0 today, with a reminder before the first charge and one-click cancel.
One thing that does not flatter us: the operating company, Vantar Group LLC, is registered in the US, with an EU representative in Germany. Persistent customer data sits in Germany. If your criterion is EU ownership and not only EU storage, CisScan or Kopexa fit better.
Who should choose Vanta
Vanta fits when you need the widest framework list in one tool, especially NIS2 next to US frameworks like FedRAMP or CMMC, and when a sales-led process with a quoted price is fine for you.
Who should choose Matproof
Matproof fits when you want a published price, persistent customer data stored in Germany, and NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act in one tool. That is mostly financial entities under DORA and mid-sized companies with two or three EU frameworks. If you need NIS2 only and have a small budget, Reglyze or Orbiq are cheaper.
FAQ
Q: How much does Vanta cost?
A: Vanta publishes no price on its pricing page (checked 19 August 2026). You get a quote after a sales call. Of the European alternatives, Matproof lists €290 and €690 a month, Kopexa €249 and €599 a month per space, Orbiq €850 or €1,900 a year, and Reglyze from €490 a year.
Q: Does Vanta support NIS2 and DORA?
A: Yes. Vanta lists NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act on its own frameworks page, among 38 frameworks. The question for a European buyer is not whether a framework is listed, but what the tool does for it, for example the DORA Article 28 register, and where the data is stored.
Q: What is the cheapest Vanta alternative in Europe?
A: Among the vendors we checked, Orbiq and Reglyze have permanent free tiers. Reglyze has the cheapest paid plan at €490 per organisation per year, but it does not name DORA. Kopexa starts at €249 a month per space and Matproof at €290 a month.
Q: Where does Matproof store data?
A: Persistent customer data is stored in Germany. Standard AI features run on US providers under Standard Contractual Clauses, and an EU AI option keeps AI processing in the EU. The full subprocessor list is on matproof.com/privacy.
Q: Is Matproof an auditor?
A: No. Matproof is compliance software. It collects evidence, runs policies and prepares the audit. The audit and any certificate come from an independent, accredited body.
Conclusion
Vanta is broad and mature. What it does not show on its website is a price and a data centre region. If those two matter to you, compare the vendors above on their own pages, and ask each one for a register export and a subprocessor list in the demo. You can start a 14-day Matproof trial and check it against your own frameworks.
