Vanta alternative
The Vanta alternative that starts free — no demo call
Vanta helped define automated compliance, but it's sales-led, priced by quote, and bills annually before you've seen the product prove itself. Veridion flips that: get a real SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR or HIPAA readiness score in under three minutes at signup, on a free plan you never have to upgrade from to get value.
Free plan forever · no credit card · no demo call

Why teams pick Veridion
You can start today, for free
No sales gate. Sign up, answer ten questions, and see your exact gaps and readiness score before you'd have finished booking a Vanta demo.
One control counts everywhere
Every one of our 54 controls is cross-mapped across four frameworks with an effort-saved meter, so implementing MFA once satisfies SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA at the same time.
Evidence that can't go stale silently
37 read-only integrations re-verify your stack every day and each evidence item has a freshness window — we warn you weeks before it expires, not the auditor mid-audit.
The audit is in the price
Our Pro plan bundles a SOC 2 Type I audit at a published $899/mo, instead of a separate five-figure auditor engagement negotiated on the side.
