Raize Orion vs Vanta

A procurement-stage decision guide. Every cell below cites the Vanta page it came from, and carries the date we last verified it. If a row looks out of date, email us at hello@raizehq.dev and we'll re-check.

When Raize Orion is the better fit

  • You need IASME Cyber Assurance (UK standard).
  • You need EU data residency by contract (Article 44 + sub-processor list in EU only).
  • You want a single all-in price that does not climb with team size or framework count.
  • You want a UK-based team and direct founder access during the trial / first quarter.
  • You need NIS2 Art. 23 reporting-clock infrastructure documented end-to-end (24h / 72h / 1-month with per-source SLAs).
  • You run multiple frameworks (3+) and want them sharing one evidence base + control map without per-framework billing.

When Vanta may be the better fit

  • You are an existing Vanta customer with the contract you want, deep workflow integrations live, and the cost of migration outweighs the framework / residency wedge.
  • You need a framework Raize does not ship today (e.g. FedRAMP, CMMC 2.0 at the depth Vanta offers).
  • Your buyer base is US-only and EU data residency is not a procurement gate.
  • You need integrations with vendor security questionnaire libraries (CAIQ, SIG) at the depth Vanta has invested.

Including this block is intentional — buyers spot one-sided comparisons instantly, and that costs more trust than it earns.

IASME Cyber Assurance

Raize Orion

Bundled — 61 requirements, 13 themes

EU data residency

Raize Orion

Native (eu-west-2, London)

Vanta

US-headquartered platform; EU options offered under GDPR controls

Note: Both vendors honour GDPR. Raize's difference is the data never leaves the EU; Vanta operates from the US with Article 44 transfer mechanisms.

NIS2 incident reporting clock

Raize Orion

Built-in 24h / 72h / 1-month reporting clock with per-source SLAs, anchored on upstream signal time.

Vanta

NIS2 framework supported; clock anchoring + per-source SLAs not documented on the public page.

Note: Verify directly with Vanta for your NIS2 use case. Their NIS2 module exists; this row contrasts our anchored-on-signal-time approach with a documented in-app SLA tracker.

What changes after switching

  • Your evidence base + control catalogue migrates with you — we import existing evidence + policy adoption history under a structured engagement.
  • Auditor portal tokens get re-issued under Raize's scope-bounded model. Your existing auditor sees the same data with a new login URL.
  • Sub-processor list updates from Vanta's to ours (Supabase, Vercel, Stripe, Resend, Anthropic, Voyage, Sentry, Cloudflare, GitHub). Customers must be informed under your DPA terms.
  • Billing moves to GBP-default, sales-led contract. MSA + DPA on request.
  • 30-day overlap window standard for migration of compliance-in-flight programmes.
