Why teams pick KoComply
2–4 weeks, not a quarter
Agents scope, draft and evidence in parallel instead of waiting on one internal owner working a checklist.
No template library
Policies are generated from your systems, vendors and team — so auditors read your company, not a template.
It keeps going
When a vendor, control or regulation changes, the affected artefacts are re-drafted and queued for approval.
FAQs
Is KoComply a Vanta alternative?
Yes. KoComply covers SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and more, with agents that produce the artefacts instead of only monitoring them.
Can we migrate from Vanta?
Yes. Connect the same cloud, code, identity and HR systems, import existing policies, and agents reconcile the gaps.
