Automate compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and DORA starting at €2,999 per year.

      If you've ever dedicated weeks to preparing for a compliance audit, gathering evidence from spreadsheets, following up with colleagues for policy approvals, and questioning whether your controls will withstand examination, you're familiar with the challenge. Compliance is essential, but the typical methods used by most companies are inadequate.

      The compliance software market is anticipated to reach $68 billion by 2026, indicating that companies are investing significant resources to keep pace with rapidly increasing regulations that often outstrip their ability to monitor. ISO 27001, SOC 2, DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS—each of these standards includes its unique set of controls, evidence criteria, and audit timelines. For expanding companies, managing even a single framework manually can be a full-time endeavor; juggling three or four can lead to chaos.

      Copla is a compliance automation platform developed in the EU that adopts a unique strategy to address this issue. Instead of simply providing a dashboard for users to navigate, the platform combines automation with dedicated support from seasoned security experts who customize your compliance program, assess your controls, and participate in your audits when it's most critical.

      What it actually offers

      Copla automates the repetitive elements of compliance, such as evidence gathering, policy creation, control mapping, and ongoing monitoring. It features predefined workflows crafted by practicing CISOs, ensuring that the framework you are utilizing aligns with real-world audit processes rather than a theoretical model from a product team.

      According to Copla, this leads teams to cut their compliance workload by up to 80 percent. For organizations seeking multiple certifications, a shared control framework allows the core tasks to be performed once and applied across various standards. Adding an additional framework (like integrating DORA with an existing ISO 27001 program) does not require starting over.

      The platform supports six principal frameworks: ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2, DORA, PCI DSS, and Cyber Essentials. Two newer features enhance its functionality: Copla Stream, an AI-powered compliance assistant that provides real-time task guidance, and Copla Registry, a dedicated tool for managing DORA’s Register of Information, priced at €600 per year, specifically designed for the ICT asset documentation now required by European financial institutions.

      Who it is designed for

      Copla targets growing businesses (approximately 50 to 1,000 employees) that need to obtain or maintain certification without establishing a complete internal compliance team. It is especially suited for companies within the EU, where DORA and NIS2 have introduced new compliance mandates not seen two years ago. Financial services firms, SaaS providers handling sensitive information, and ICT suppliers catering to regulated sectors are ideal candidates.

      The platform does not compete with large enterprise GRC solutions aimed at Fortune 500 companies. Its strength lies in making compliance frameworks accessible to mid-market teams that require expert guidance without the hefty enterprise cost.

      Pricing and offers

      Framework plans begin at €2,999 annually for ISO 27001, with DORA plans costing roughly €4,000 per year. Each additional framework comes with a 20 percent discount. Customized CISO advisory packages range from €6,000 to €24,000 per year, depending on the level of engagement and scope.

      Copla is currently offering a free demonstration that includes a compliance assessment, allowing you to evaluate your organization's current standing before making a decision. For companies that have hesitated to pursue a framework due to perceived complexity or cost, this serves as a practical starting point.
