ResiPlan vs Vanta
Vanta is excellent at automating SOC 2 / ISO 27001 in SaaS startups. ResiPlan covers a much broader scope: ISO 22301 BCMS, 36 risk methodologies, native CRA, DORA, NIS2.
What Vanta does well
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation leader
Vanta excels at continuous control monitoring for SaaS startups pursuing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 — cloud integrations, evidence collection, auditor portal.
Fast onboarding, DIY friendly
Strong self-service experience. Startups reach SOC 2 Type I in weeks. Good templates for tech companies.
Trust center & vendor questionnaires
Shareable trust pages and AI-powered security questionnaires reduce sales friction for B2B SaaS.
Where ResiPlan wins
Real BCMS ISO 22301 (Vanta has none)
Vanta's scope stops at SOC 2 / ISO 27001 controls. ResiPlan delivers BIA, 8 plan types, reflex cards, cascade analysis — everything ISO 22301 requires that Vanta doesn't touch.
CRA (2024/2847) coverage
SBOM (CycloneDX/SPDX), CVD workflow, Annex I, market surveillance. CRA is outside Vanta's scope — SaaS publishers subject to CRA need a dedicated tool.
36 risk methodologies + Crisis Gaming
FAIR, ISO 27005, EBIOS RM, Bow-Tie, Monte Carlo. 40+ tabletop scenarios with AI injections. Vanta risk module is a simple register; no methodologies, no exercises.
DORA, NIS2 native coverage
ResiPlan ships DORA Article 5–25 mappings, NIS2 Annex I controls, NIST CSF 2.0. Vanta covers SOC 2/ISO 27001 well but DORA/NIS2 mappings are limited.
EU hosting (France) — simpler GDPR posture
ResiPlan runs on OVH France. Vanta is US-based (AWS); EU customers must accept Schrems II SCCs.
More capability for less money
ResiPlan: €49–€499/month with BCMS + 36 methodologies + CRA + Crisis Gaming. Vanta: $8K–$50K/year for compliance automation alone.
AI module optional — deactivable
Defense, intelligence, sovereign or data-restricted customers can run ResiPlan entirely without AI and keep BCMS, risk and compliance fully operational. Vanta AI cannot be cleanly turned off.
ResiGuard Android companion app
Native Android app: plans, reflex cards, incident declaration, crisis notifications — offline-capable. Vanta is a web console — no native mobile companion for crisis response.

Choose Vanta if…
- • You're a US SaaS startup and your goal is SOC 2 Type I/II.
- • You want evidence automation without needing BCMS.
- • DORA, NIS2, CRA aren't in your scope.
- • You have 10–100 employees on AWS/GCP/Azure cloud.
Choose ResiPlan if…
- • You need BCMS, not just SOC 2.
- • You're subject to DORA, NIS2 or CRA.
- • You want 36 methodologies and Crisis Gaming included.
- • France-based EU hosting is required.
Note: Vanta and ResiPlan aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. Many EU SaaS use Vanta for SOC 2 + ResiPlan for BCMS, CRA, DORA — the tools complement each other.
