Eyako vs MakeItSafe
Command Platform vs Compliance Tool
MakeItSafe and Eyako are both French cybersecurity platforms targeting SMEs and mid-market companies. But they don't solve the same problem. Here's the honest comparison security leaders need to make the right choice.
Key takeaways
- MakeItSafe is a GRC compliance tool: strong on documentation, audits and regulatory frameworks.
- Eyako is a CISO Command Platform: real-time posture, AI-native, strategic board reporting.
- Both are French sovereign solutions. The choice depends on your CISO's role.
- If your CISO reports to the board and needs strategic visibility: Eyako. If compliance documentation is the priority: MakeItSafe.
Two products, two different problems
Comparing Eyako and MakeItSafe requires first understanding the context they were designed for.
MakeItSafe (Rezé, founded 2018, ~130 clients) was built for GRC and compliance teams. It answers the question: "Are we compliant with our regulatory obligations?" GDPR, DORA, NIS2, data mapping, audit management, Security System Plans — it's a rigorous documentary and operational compliance platform.
Eyako was built for the strategic CISO. It answers a different question: "What is my real security posture right now, and what should I prioritize?" Real-time posture, AI-powered risk management, automated board reporting, strategic copilot — Eyako is the Command Center for security leaders.
The fundamental difference: compliance vs. command
A GRC compliance tool manages what you have to do. A CISO Command Platform tells you what you should do — and shows you the state of your security at all times.
In practice, the CISO's day in MakeItSafe looks like: update documentation, complete audit checklists, track regulatory controls. Structured. Rigorous. Operational.
In Eyako, the day looks like: view real-time posture dashboard, identify priority risks surfaced by AI, prepare the board report in minutes, make decisions based on live data. Strategic. Fast. Executive.

When to choose Eyako
Eyako is the right choice if:
- Your CISO reports to board or COMEX and needs automated board dashboards
- You want real-time visibility on your security posture (not annual snapshots)
- You need AI to surface what to prioritize from thousands of signals
- Your team manages NIS2, DORA or ISO 27001 compliance and wants automated control mapping
- You want a single tool covering GDPR data mapping, incident & crisis management, third-party/supplier risk and security in projects
- You want a single environment combining posture, risk, compliance and strategy
When MakeItSafe may be more appropriate
MakeItSafe may be more suitable if:
- Producing the formal Security System Plan (PSS) is the primary use case
- Your team mainly manages audits and operational GRC documentation
- The CISO's role is primarily operational rather than strategic
Sovereignty: an equal playing field
MakeItSafe highlights French sovereignty as a key differentiator — Hexatrust member, hosted in France, no CLOUD Act exposure. This positioning is real and legitimate.
Eyako shares the same sovereign DNA: French-designed and developed, data hosted in France, no transfer outside the EU. French sovereignty is not an advantage for one or the other — it's baseline for both.
The real differentiator is therefore not on sovereignty, but on what you do with the platform once your data is in it.
Verdict: two different tools for two different jobs
MakeItSafe and Eyako are not in direct competition — they answer different needs.
Choose MakeItSafe if you primarily need a rigorous, operationally-focused compliance tool for managing your GRC documentation.
Choose Eyako if your CISO needs a Command Platform — real-time strategic visibility, AI-powered prioritization, automated board reporting, and a co-pilot that tells you what matters today.
The question isn't "Eyako or MakeItSafe?" — it's "Does your CISO need to manage compliance documents or pilot the organization's security strategy?"
