Vanta alternative for the EU AI Act

TL;DR. Vanta is a security compliance automation platform for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. It is excellent at those, and it does not do the EU AI Act. If your buyers ask for a SOC 2 report, use Vanta. If you have shipped AI features into the EU and the Article 50 deadline of 2 August 2026 is your problem, that is what Disclos is built for. Many SaaS teams use both.

What Vanta does and does not cover

Vanta connects to your stack and continuously checks security controls against SOC 2, ISO 27001, and similar frameworks. The EU AI Act is a product and transparency regulation, not a security framework. It asks whether your chatbot tells users it is AI, whether your AI features are high-risk under Annex III, and whether you hold the right disclosures and documentation. Vanta does not classify AI features against the Act or generate Article 50 disclosures.

Where Disclos fits

Disclos is EU AI Act only. The free tier gives you a penalty calculator, an Annex III high-risk check, an Article 50 disclosure generator, and a one-line SDK in 24 EU languages. Monitoring at 49 euro a month watches your live site and tracks your obligations. The 997 euro audit is a human reading your product against the regulation, with a refund if it does not get you ready.

Who should use which

Use Vanta for SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Use Disclos for the EU AI Act. They do not overlap, and a security report does not make you EU AI Act compliant.
