Drata is a well-funded US-based compliance automation platform best known for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 depth. Reglyze is an EU-native, NIS2-first platform built around the way European SMEs and MSPs actually run NIS2. This page is an honest, sourced comparison — not a hit piece. If your buying context is SOC 2 first, Drata is the better fit.
Both platforms are credible. The difference is positioning, pricing model, and the buyer profile each is built around.
You are buying SOC 2 (or SOC 2 + ISO 27001 + HIPAA) as your primary framework and NIS2 is a secondary checkbox. You have a CISO or compliance lead with budget authority above the €25k mark and you are comfortable with a sales-led procurement cycle. You operate primarily in the US or have a US-led GTM. Drata's framework depth, automation tooling, and brand maturity are strong here.
NIS2 is your primary obligation (not a side-quest off SOC 2). You are an EU SME (50-500 staff) or an MSP / consultancy running NIS2 across a portfolio. You want transparent EUR pricing without a sales call, native authority reporting in French (ANSSI) or Italian (ACN), and a self-serve onboarding flow that gets you to a baseline gap-assessment in under a day.
We have stuck to dimensions that are objectively verifiable. Where Drata's behaviour depends on plan tier or sales-quote variables, we mark the cell as partial (~) and explain the caveat in a footnote. Pricing and framework coverage details are anchored to drata.com (linked at the bottom) and refreshed each quarter.
| Capability | Reglyze | Drata |
|---|---|---|
NIS2 as a first-class, primary framework Reglyze: NIS2 is the entire product: Article 21(2) controls, Article 20 board duties, Article 23 incident reporting are core paths, not add-ons. Drata: Drata's framework catalog includes NIS2 alongside its primary SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA depth; relative emphasis verified on drata.com framework page.[1] | yes | partial |
Transparent published pricing in EUR Reglyze: Free, Pro €499/year, Enterprise from €1,999/year — published on reglyze.com/#pricing. Drata: Drata does not publish pricing on its website (verified 2026-05-14). Pricing is sales-quoted and varies by company size and framework scope.[2] | yes | no |
Self-serve sign-up — no sales call required Reglyze: Sign up, run scoping wizard, get a baseline gap assessment without speaking to anyone. Drata: Drata's website routes prospects through a 'Get a demo' funnel; no published self-serve checkout flow.[1] | yes | no |
Native authority incident reports (ANSSI, ACN) Reglyze: Ships ANSSI-native (French) and ACN-native (Italian) report templates citing loi n° 2024-1039 and D.lgs. 138/2024 respectively. Drata: We could not find native French (ANSSI) or Italian (ACN) authority report templates on drata.com (verified 2026-05-14). If Drata adds these, we will refresh this row.[1] | yes | not available |
Multilingual product UI (EU languages) Reglyze: EN + FR + IT + DE in the product UI, with Sonnet-quality first-pass translations pending native review for IT/DE. Drata: Drata's marketing site is primarily English; we did not find an in-product locale picker on the prospect-facing surfaces.[1] | yes | partial |
MSP / multi-tenant portfolio mode Reglyze: Single MSP plan with base+overage pricing (€1,499/yr base for 10 client orgs + €80/yr per additional org, up to 50) with portfolio dashboard, per-client tenancy, optional white-label. Drata: Drata markets a partner program for service providers, structured around resale and audit firm partnerships rather than a self-serve MSP multi-tenant console.[1] | yes | partial |
Time to first NIS2 gap assessment Reglyze: Same-day. Sign-up → scoping → 72-question gap assessment → remediation plan in under an hour for a focused SME. Drata: Drata's discovery → quote → contracting → implementation flow is standard enterprise SaaS; published case studies anchor implementation in weeks to months, not days.[1] | yes | partial |
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA depth Reglyze: Reglyze ships an ISO 27001 crosswalk inside the NIS2 product but is not a SOC 2 or HIPAA audit-prep platform. If you need SOC 2 audit-ready evidence collection across hundreds of controls, Reglyze is not built for that. Drata: Drata's core strength. SOC 2 has been Drata's primary framework since launch; ISO 27001 and HIPAA receive comparable depth.[1] | no | yes |
EU data residency Reglyze: Hosted on Hetzner Germany (Falkenstein). All customer data stays in the EU. Drata: Drata is US-headquartered; we could not find an explicit EU-only data residency commitment on drata.com that matches the kind of regional pinning EU buyers ask for.[1] | yes | partial |
Native EU-SME pricing economics Reglyze: Pricing is in EUR; Pro tier targets the 50-250 staff SME footprint; the median European NIS2-essential entity can afford it without budget escalation. Drata: Public reviews and aggregator listings consistently describe Drata pricing as a US-scale-up procurement, not a SME line item.[2] | yes | no |
✓ = yes / supported · ~ = partial or plan-dependent · ✗ = not supported / not advertised
Drata is a well-built product and we have no incentive to mis-state where it wins. If your buying context is one of the following, Drata is the better tool:
Drata was founded around SOC 2 automation and that heritage shows up everywhere — control-by-control evidence collection, integrations with mainstream SaaS for automated evidence pull, audit firm partnerships. If you have a US-facing customer base demanding a SOC 2 Type II report, Drata gets you there faster than a NIS2-first tool that bolts on SOC 2.[1]
Drata's procurement flow is designed for a security leader with a five-figure annual line item and the authority to greenlight a multi-quarter implementation. The platform's depth pays off when you have a dedicated security engineer or GRC analyst to maintain it.
Drata's case studies, integrations, and audit firm relationships are anchored in the US market. If your compliance customer base sits in California, New York, and Massachusetts more than in Paris and Milan, Drata's GTM and content library will feel native.[1]
If your roadmap is SOC 2 → ISO 27001 → HIPAA → PCI DSS → NIS2 across the next 24 months, Drata's catalog handles all of them inside one product. NIS2 alongside three other frameworks is a stronger case for Drata than NIS2 standalone.
We built Reglyze for a different buyer profile. If you recognize yourself in one of these contexts, Reglyze will fit better:
If your reason for shopping a compliance tool is 'the national authority will fine us', the strongest signal is that NIS2 should sit at the center of the platform, not in a tab next to seven other frameworks. Reglyze's entire product — scoping, gap, remediation, training, incidents, reporting — is wired to Article 21(2) and Article 20.
Reglyze Pro is €499/year. Enterprise starts at €1,999/year and is sales-led only above the median SME footprint. For most NIS2-essential SMEs, the platform pays back inside the first quarter via faster gap assessment and authority-native incident templates.
ANSSI-native (French) and ACN-native (Italian) report templates ship in-product, citing loi n° 2024-1039 and D.lgs. 138/2024 respectively, in the authority's own language. The 24h / 72h / 1 month NIS2 Article 23 clock is computed per incident.
Reglyze ships a dedicated MSP plan (€1,499/year base for 10 client orgs + €80/year per additional org up to 50) with a multi-tenant portfolio console, per-client isolation, optional white-label, and bundled training per managed organization. The MSP economics are a first-class concern, not a partner-program afterthought.
Self-serve onboarding gets you from sign-up to a scored 72-question NIS2 gap assessment in under an hour, with a remediation backlog and authority-ready document templates ready to go. No sales call, no procurement cycle, no implementation services SOW.
Drata's pricing is not published on its website (verified 2026-05-14). This is a defensible decision for a sales-led, mid-market / enterprise SaaS — it lets the company price each deal against the buyer's framework count, company size, and integration depth. It is also a friction point for European SME buyers, who in our customer interviews consistently flag a sales-led procurement cycle as a reason to abandon a tool before they have even seen the product. Reglyze publishes EUR pricing on the landing page so the buying conversation starts after the buyer has decided the product fits, not before.

No. Reglyze runs this site. We are biased by definition. We have tried to be fair: every Drata-specific claim is footnoted with a source, Drata's strengths get their own section, and we explicitly tell readers when Drata is the better tool. Use this page as one input — not your only input — when evaluating compliance platforms.
Drata does not publish pricing in any currency. Quotes are sales-driven and vary materially by company size, framework count, and integration scope. Public reviews and aggregator sites report quotes ranging from the low five figures for small teams to high five figures and above for mid-market companies, but we cannot pin a specific number without speaking to your Drata sales contact. Reglyze publishes EUR pricing on the landing page so the conversation starts on a known number.
Drata's framework catalog includes NIS2. The question for a NIS2-only buyer is whether you want a platform built around SOC 2 with NIS2 added, or a platform built around NIS2 with an ISO 27001 crosswalk added. Both can be valid choices; the answer depends on which framework drives your audit calendar.
If SOC 2 is the binding constraint (customers will not buy from you without a SOC 2 Type II report), Drata is the more natural primary platform; you can keep NIS2 evidence inside Drata or pair it with Reglyze for the authority-reporting side. If NIS2 is the binding constraint (national authority oversight) and SOC 2 is a future nice-to-have, Reglyze plus a focused SOC 2 engagement is usually cheaper.
Reglyze ships CSV + XLSX gap-assessment export and a documented data-export path from day one. We do not lock customer evidence in. We cannot speak for Drata's export behaviour — review their published terms or ask their sales team directly.
We hold ourselves to a simple rule: every claim about Drata on this page must be footnoted and verifiable. If you spot a claim that no longer matches the public record, write to [email protected] and we will correct it.
We do not claim Drata is a worse product. We claim it is built for a different buyer in a different market. This page is intended to help EU SMEs and MSPs evaluating NIS2 platforms decide where each tool fits.
