Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Vanta: Vanta is a fast-growing GRC automation platform that started with SOC 2/ISO 27001 and is expanding into GDPR and AI compliance. It overlaps ComplyCloud on the ISMS/ISO 27001 axis and is a credible emerging competitor for European customers.
• Secureframe: Secureframe is a compliance automation platform covering SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI. Its expansion into broader GRC and privacy compliance makes it a partial competitor to ComplyCloud's ISMS and GDPR modules.
• Drata: Drata automates SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other compliance audits and is broadening into privacy and security compliance. It competes with ComplyCloud on ISMS/ISO 27001 in the mid-market and is pushing into GDPR-adjacent capabilities.

Direct peers

• LogicGate: LogicGate offers a flexible GRC workflow platform for risk, compliance, and vendor management, with direct overlap on ComplyCloud's GRC workflow, risk, and vendor-management capabilities.
• OneTrust: OneTrust is a large, US-based GRC and privacy-management platform covering consent, GDPR, ISO 27001, and AI governance. It is the closest direct competitor to ComplyCloud in the integrated privacy/security GRC category, with broader global scale but a heavier enterprise footprint.
• TrustArc: TrustArc is a privacy and GRC platform focused on GDPR, CCPA, and data subject rights management, with strong overlap on privacy governance and consent — directly comparable to ComplyCloud's GDPR/data protection module.

Broad incumbents

• NAVEX Global: NAVEX Global is a broad GRC and ethics/compliance incumbent with whistleblower, policy, and risk modules. Its whistleblower product directly overlaps ComplyCloud's Whistleblower Software, and it competes broadly for enterprise GRC budgets.
• Diligent: Diligent is a governance, risk, and compliance platform for board, audit, and enterprise risk management. It competes with ComplyCloud at the high end of the GRC stack, particularly for larger customers consolidating risk and compliance onto one vendor.
• AuditBoard: AuditBoard is a broad-incumbent GRC platform for audit, risk, and compliance teams, traditionally focused on SOX but expanding into IT GRC and ISO 27001. It competes with ComplyCloud for larger enterprise GRC budgets.
• ServiceNow GRC: ServiceNow's integrated GRC/IRM module is sold to large enterprises as part of a broader platform. It overlaps ComplyCloud on IT GRC and risk/compliance workflows, though it is rarely chosen for SMB or Nordic mid-market.
