Where does EuroComply fit?
Both Vanta and Drata are excellent for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 evidence automation but are US-headquartered and therefore subject to the CLOUD Act regardless of EU data-residency contractual terms. EU-headquartered alternatives for security compliance automation are sparser; EuroComply does not directly compete in SOC 2 automation but covers the AI Act, GDPR, NIS 2, CRA, and DORA workspace separately.
