Vanta is a US trust-management platform best known for getting companies to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 fast. Proofbacked is built for European supplier risk and security programmes under DORA and NIS2, where an AI colleague does the work, a named person makes each decision, and every decision becomes a receipt anyone can verify.
Where Vanta is strong
Where Proofbacked is different
Every supplier approval, exception and control sign-off is made by a named person with the mandate and becomes a tamper-evident receipt your customers, auditors or supervisor can verify without an account.
DORA registers of information, NIS2 and Sweden’s Cybersäkerhetslagen, exit plans for critical suppliers. That is the core of the product, not one more framework mapping.
It reads, compares, drafts and chases. Approving, setting tiers, sealing and sending are refused to the AI in the product.
The platform runs with a European host, and the AI that reads your evidence runs in Sweden.
Side by side
Choose Vanta if
You are a US-facing SaaS company whose next milestone is a SOC 2 report, and integrations-driven control testing is what you need most.
Choose Proofbacked if
You answer to DORA, NIS2 or demanding European customers, you need to show who decided what about each supplier and control, and you want the AI to do the work without blurring who made the decision.
