Read the Qorelo case study Compliance is broken for startups
The tools built by US companies for US companies weren't designed for you. Here's what founders actually experience.
Priced for enterprises, not startups
Vanta and Drata charge £8–12K per year — platform only. Add accredited auditors and penetration testing and you're past £20K before your first customer.
See the ISO 27001 cost guideEvidence collection is still manual
Most platforms tell you what's broken and let you figure out the rest. Screenshots from AWS, manually adapted policy templates, hours of CTO time — every year.
Built for SOC 2, not ISO 27001
American platforms treat ISO 27001 as an afterthought. If you're selling to European enterprise, you need tools designed for EU frameworks from the ground up.

European startups should not have to run a US-first compliance playbook to satisfy European buyers. Kantis is built around ISO 27001, GDPR, credible UK/German auditor routes, and the practical constraints of small founder-led teams.
European frameworks first
ISO 27001, UK/EU GDPR, EU AI Act, and ISO 42001 are first-class, not afterthoughts behind SOC 2.
Credible auditor routes
UKAS-accredited UK and DAkkS-accredited German certification-body routes where appropriate, plus SOC partners for US-facing deals.
Small-team operating model
Policy templates and evidence workflows for 2-20 person B2B startups, not generic enterprise controls.
Product-time protection
Automation and hands-on support reduce CTO days lost to screenshots, policies, and auditor coordination.
