Eyako vs Vanta
French sovereign CISO platform vs American automation tool
Vanta has built a strong reputation in compliance automation, especially for SOC2 among tech companies. With 16,000+ customers, it's a proven platform. But for French and European organizations subject to NIS2, DORA, and GDPR — and concerned about digital sovereignty — the picture is different.
In brief
Vanta (San Francisco, 16,000+ customers) is the reference for SOC2 automation in the tech ecosystem. It is a US company subject to the CLOUD Act. Eyako is a French CISO Command Platform, hosted in France, natively covering NIS2, DORA, GDPR — the priority frameworks for French and European SMEs. Eyako also adds incident management, IT mapping, DPO module and strategic AI copilot.

What Eyako offers that Vanta does not
French sovereignty — no CLOUD Act exposure
Eyako is a French solution, hosted in France, not subject to the CLOUD Act. Vanta is an American company (San Francisco) subject to US legislation. For French organizations managing sensitive data, this matters.
Native NIS2 and DORA coverage
Eyako natively covers NIS2 and DORA, the priority regulatory frameworks for French and European companies. Vanta's strength is SOC2 and US frameworks. NIS2 and DORA coverage in Vanta is not its historical core business.
Incident and crisis management
Eyako includes a dedicated module for incident and crisis management: detection, handling, closure, post-mortem. Vanta does not cover this dimension.
IT mapping and vulnerability tracking
Eyako centralizes IT mapping and vulnerability monitoring. These operational dimensions are not in Vanta's scope.
Security in projects (PSSI)
Eyako integrates security by design into each IT project. This use case is specific to the French regulatory context and is not available in Vanta.
Dedicated DPO module
Eyako includes a dedicated GDPR / DPO module with personal data registers and DPIA management. Vanta covers GDPR compliance but does not have a dedicated DPO operational module.
French sovereignty
Hosted in France. No CLOUD Act exposure.
NIS2 & DORA native
Priority European regulatory frameworks covered natively.
Complete coverage
GRC, incidents, projects, suppliers, DPO — in one platform.
Verdict
If you are a French or European CISO or CIO, subject to NIS2, DORA or GDPR, and concerned about sovereignty: Eyako is the natural choice. It covers the relevant regulatory frameworks, is hosted in France and offers capabilities that Vanta does not: incident management, IT mapping, DPO module, strategic AI copilot. If you are a tech company that needs SOC2 for the American market, Vanta is the proven reference.
