Comparison
Isodora vs Vanta
In short
Vanta is the best-known compliance platform in the world, built in the US for tech companies that need SOC 2 to sell to American customers, with 400+ integrations and four quote-priced plans. Isodora is built in Sweden for companies with 10–100 employees that need ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR or the EU AI Act, reproduces the standard text under licence from SIS, is hosted in the EU and starts at SEK 500 a month by card. Choose Vanta if you sell SOC 2 to the US and have budget for an enterprise platform. Choose Isodora if you are a Swedish or European company that wants to meet a customer requirement yourself, in weeks, without procurement.

When Vanta is the right choice
- You sell to US companies that require SOC 2 Type II, and the auditor network and integration breadth matter more than price.
- You have or will have a security team that wants hundreds of automated tests against cloud infrastructure.
- You are heading for enterprise and want a vendor your largest customers already use.
When Isodora is the right choice
- A customer requires ISO 27001 in the contract, you fall under the Swedish Cybersecurity Act, or a procurement requires evidence — and you have no compliance department.
- You want to see the price, pay by card and start today, not after three demo calls.
- You need several ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001) in one management system, not only information security.
- You want the auditor to see the standard’s own requirement text, not a vendor’s paraphrase.
- You want data to stay in the EU without an add-on.
Switching from Vanta to Isodora
Many companies certify with Vanta and then find that ongoing compliance — ISO 9001, supplier governance, quality management, NIS2 — does not fit a SOC 2-centred platform. Isodora imports your existing policies and controls and maps them to the standard text, so the certificate keeps its value while the management system grows.

Everything you need to say yes to the customer requirement: gap analysis, documents against the requirement text, automated controls, evidence and a Trust Center — at a price any CEO can approve without procurement.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does Vanta cost?
- Vanta does not publish prices. Its pricing page lists four plans — Essentials, Plus, Professional and Enterprise — and refers to a demo for personalised pricing. Isodora publishes its prices: SEK 500 a month for the platform and SEK 1,200 a month per framework.
- Is Isodora a Vanta alternative for Swedish companies?
- Yes, for companies with 10–100 employees that need ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR or the EU AI Act. Isodora is built in Sweden, hosted in the EU and reproduces the ISO standards’ requirement text under licence from SIS. For SOC 2-heavy companies selling to the US, Vanta is often the more established choice.
- Does Isodora support SOC 2?
- Yes, SOC 2 is available as a framework in Isodora, mapped to ISO 27001 so the same controls and evidence are reused. Depth in US auditor networks is, however, Vanta’s strength.
- Can we move from Vanta to Isodora without losing the certificate?
- The certificate is issued to you, not to the tool. You import policies, controls and evidence into Isodora and continue the management system there. The next surveillance audit is done against Isodora’s material.
