Kertos is a True Privacy Sparring Partner with super Fast Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alexander S. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2026 **What do you like best about Kertos?** For us, Kertos is not just a compliance tool, but a real sparring partner: the privacy expert works through complex issues with us instead of just handing over templates. So we have a dedicated, personally reachable point of contact who understands our business model and are not dealing with an anonymous support queue. The experts have extremely fast response times, too. Even urgent requests get solid, reliable answers when it matters most. I like the fact that Kertos advises us during the concept phase of new features (“privacy by design”), not just when problems arise. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** The initial platform setup requires some manual effort, and some platform features are still evolving. But the team actively relays our feedback into product development. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** As an AI startup, data protection is a dealbreaker in enterprise sales, not a nice-to-have. Kertos provides the DPO, DPIA, TIAs, and the complete contractual framework that demanding enterprise customers require. As a result, sales processes can be entered with confidence, actively demonstrating the privacy posture. For us, compliance has turned from a risk into a selling point. ### 2. Efficient Certification with Outstanding Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Martin S. | Agentic AI Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **AI Translated:** This review has been translated from German using AI. **Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2026 **What do you like best about Kertos?** I particularly appreciate Kertos for the "all-around package" and the support from the friendly Customer Success Managers, who also act proactively. The platform is constantly being developed further, and the latest technologies are integrated, making the certification process very simple and understandable. I love that the platform helps with constant input, especially when you lose track, which can happen quickly with such processes. The suggestions from the AI, KAIA, are also very helpful and provide targeted support by learning the context of our company's structure. For us as a dynamic software company, the rapid and good further development of the platform is particularly valuable. Setting up Kertos was very easy, thanks to the support of a Customer Success Manager in a detailed appointment. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** I would find it even better if the policies created by KAIA in the chat window could be exported directly as PDF instead of just as ".md". But that's really just a small point. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos helps us with an organized and structured implementation of the ISO27001 certification. It defines clear tasks and offers AI-supported suggestions tailored to our company's structure. The support from the Customer Success Team makes the process simple and understandable. ### 3. Great support and clear overviews, but policies need image support **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** September 03, 2026 **What do you like best about Kertos?** What I like most about Kertos is their excellent and attentive customer service. Whenever we have questions or need support, the team is very responsive and usually provides a solution quickly. I also really like the structure and usability of the platform. The different overviews, especially for Controls and Trainings, are clear and well organized. They make it easy to keep track of the current status, identify open tasks, and see what still needs to be completed. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** One thing I do not like is that it is currently not possible to add images, screenshots, or other visual elements to policies. Being able to include visual examples or illustrations would make some policies easier to understand and more practical for employees. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos supports us in implementing data protection and information security requirements in accordance with ISO 27001. We particularly benefit from their professional guidance and hands-on support throughout the process. With their help, we were able to successfully prepare for the certification requirements and achieve our ISO 27001 certification. ### 4. Comprehensive compliance within a few weeks **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jennis B. | Implementation Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2026 **What do you like best about Kertos?** First, the level of automation: Kertos is a real compliance powerhouse and the platform was easy to implement. Second, the combination of that automation with a directly available external DPO meant expert help on call, not just a software. Finally, we’ve had roughly 70% less administrative effort, which freed the team to focus on more on other tasks. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** No complaints about the platform so far, it’s all pretty smooth. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed a data protection system that scales with fast growth and meets ISO 27001 requirements, without burning internal resources. We also wanted it to replace a mix of manual processes, spreadsheets and outdated tools. With Kertos, we built a stable, scalable data-protection base within about a month, and the ISO 27001 certification was audited successfully within a few weeks. We’ve achieved and maintained 100% GDPR compliance. Automated scans plus integrated risk management surface data-protection risks early, and the setup scales as our company grows. ### 5. Exceptional Service and Seamless Integration for ISO 27001 Compliance **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Don R. | Co-Founder & Head of Growth, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2026 **What do you like best about Kertos?** I really appreciate Kertos for its awesome "done for you" implementation service and the support from the customer success team. The sales experience was great, and I find the platform's ability to integrate with the IT products crucial for our company very valuable. As a small company, we don't have the resources to manage ISO 27001 on our own without disruption, so Kertos coming in as a complete package is incredibly helpful. Being cloud-native, having a platform that seamlessly integrates with our IT landscape to automate our ISMS is absolutely crucial for us. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Very little, but we did find one integration with our Task Management tools that gave some minor conflicts with the Kertos task management capabilities. As I said, a very minor topic. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Kertos for achieving and maintaining ISO 27001 certification, sharing it with customers, and understanding business risks. It offers expertise as a complete package and integrates with our IT landscape, which is crucial for our cloud-native company. ### 6. Intuitive platform with strong automation and practical data protection support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stefan R. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **AI Translated:** This review has been translated from German using AI. **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2026 **What do you like best about Kertos?** The platform is intuitive and takes a lot of work off our hands through automation, especially in recording the systems used. This is significantly better than maintaining everything in Excel or in databases without automation. The support from the data protection officer is practical and shows a true understanding of our business. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** No negative points so far. The UI had a few small errors here and there, but these have since been fixed. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a provider of a GDPR-relevant outreach tool, we know ourselves how important clean data protection documentation is. Kertos supports us in the data protection-compliant design of our tool. Data protection is not an accessory for us, but part of our own product promise – with Kertos, this can also be represented internally just as professionally. ### 7. Kertos an integrated Compliance tool with Seamless Mapping and Monitoring **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Incentivized:** This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Source: Seller invite:** Invitation from a seller or affiliate. This reviewer was offered a nominal incentive as thanks for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2026 **What do you like best about Kertos?** Consolidating the entire data protection and compliance lifecycle into a single software platform provides Kickscale with maximum transparency and audit-readiness. Kertos enables seamless mapping, governance, and traceability of all accountable processes across a central interface. Kertos integrates into Kickscale’s existing system landscape via secure interfaces, enabling continuous monitoring of technical and organizational measures as well as (partially) automated tracking of system changes, access rights, and authorizations. Furthermore Kertos staff are very knowledgable and supportive. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** The software is still evolving and has improved in many areas since we started using it (1.5 years ago). However, there are still some areas with further development potential. For example, the Trust Center functionality was added recently, but it is not yet at the level we would need. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos and its experts help us cover the full range and lifecycle of GDPR and ISO 27001 compliance. It has been substantial support in achieving ISO 27001 certification and, currently, in preparing for the Surveillance Audit. In addition, we are evaluating whether to pursue ISO 42001 certification as well, which will also be supported by the Kertos tool. ### 8. Uncomplicated Collaboration and Exchange on Equal Terms **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

The collaboration is uncomplicated, and I always had a dedicated contact person. The exchange with the entire team took place on equal terms, which made coordination very pleasant. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** At first glance, the platform is somewhat overwhelming and the added values are not apparent - some functions are still missing. However, together with the DPS and CS team, it can be well set up and then also takes work off in everyday life. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps us understand what we need to consider to be GDPR compliant and fulfill our legal obligations. ### 9.

The amount of integrations is also quite limited to the most common vendors. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** GDPR compliance and ISO certification. We are a small team so the integrated platforms helps a lot with efficiency ### 11.

Pragmatic and customer company-adapted working methods. Very good value for money. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** The platform makes the most sense when all functions are used.

With the platform, we’ve made massive progress in a very short time and are now close to our ISO 27001 certification. Kertos helps us centralize all documentation, assign responsibilities, and keep track of compliance tasks — saving countless hours and ensuring we stay audit-ready at all times. ### 17.

Furthermore, Kertos scores with a modern compliance solution that allows standards like ISO 27001 to be implemented in a structured and efficient manner. The board looks very user-friendly and it's easy to work through the individual open to-dos, which makes it easy to plan and implement open tasks in a structured way.

Transformative Compliance Platform with Exceptional Support and Automation **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Medical Devices | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** December 05, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** As a fast-growing tele-ophthalmology company dedicated to accessible and high-quality eye care, we value compliance efficiency and clarity. Kertos stands out for its intuitive, all in one compliance platform that centralizes and simplifies ISMS implementation - no more juggling Excel sheets or JIRA boards. Its automation capabilities (especially around ISO 27001 and GDPR documentation) have been invaluable, with up to 60 % of certification workflows handled automatically. We also deeply appreciate the strong expert support: German-speaking and structured, with clear guidance milestones and regular check ins - that has helped keep our ISO journey on track. On top of that, Kertos’ integrated AI based guide (KAI) demystifies compliance complexities and accelerates our audit readiness. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** While Kertos has been transformative, one minor limitation is that some integrations require initial configuration effort. Especially when aligning with niche or heavily customized internal systems. That said, once set up, the no code interface makes ongoing management very smooth. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos solves the traditional headaches of building and managing an ISMS - manual tasks, fragmented documentation, unclear paths to certification, and reliance on disparate tools - by offering a unified, automated, and visually guided workflow. This has brought tremendous benefits to Ocumeda: • Accelerated ISO 27001 progress: Kertos has helped us lay a solid foundation for compliance by streamlining risk management, policy creation, and asset tracking. This has significantly improved the structure and maturity of our ISMS processes, bringing us closer to audit-readiness without unnecessary complexity. • Time-saving efficiency: Automated workflows and document templates free us to focus on developing our core tele ophthalmology solutions, rather than chasing system vulnerabilities or compliance paperwork • Increased confidence: With real-time monitoring and expert guidance, our team stays aligned and audit-ready - helping us maintain stakeholder trust and stay focused on delivering top-tier eye care. ### 23.

The user-friendliness of the board is particularly noteworthy: it is clearly structured, intuitive to use, and facilitates the structured planning and processing of open tasks. Another plus point is the large number of functions and the simplicity of integrating various tools and platforms. This allows Kertos to be flexibly integrated into existing systems. The frequency of use in everyday work also shows how well the tool is received – it is used regularly and with noticeable added value for the entire team. The implementation after onboarding also sounded very simple. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Some functions could be designed to be a bit more intuitive, and occasionally the implementation of small adjustments takes a bit longer. An even easier handling would also be desirable when integrating new tools – overall, however, these are only minor points in an otherwise very positive overall impression. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** A central business problem was to clearly structure our compliance requirements – especially with regard to ISO 27001 – and to transparently track the progress of open tasks. Kertos helped us to clearly map these processes, assign responsibilities, and efficiently handle to-dos. Through the central platform, we save time, avoid duplicate work, and always keep an overview of the current status. This way, we benefit from significantly higher transparency and a structured, comprehensible implementation of our compliance goals. ### 24. Reliable support for all things compliance! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vivien S. | Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** We initially worked with Kertos for our ISO 27001 certification and were extremely impressed by their expertise, structured approach, and commitment to delivering results. The team made a complex process feel smooth and manageable, guiding us every step of the way through weekly check-ins with clear communication and actionable advice. Because of this great experience, we have since engaged Kertos for GDPR compliance and AI Act readiness as well. They consistently bring deep knowledge, practical solutions, and a proactive mindset to every project. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** If there’s one area for improvement, it would be to enhance the user experience in their Kertos platform. While it's a helpful way to document and keep oversight of various components, it could be a little more user-friendly. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos takes the complexity out of compliance by handling the heavy lifting for ISO 27001, GDPR, and AI Act requirements. Their expertise and ready-to-use frameworks save us countless hours, letting us focus on running the business while staying fully compliant. ### 25. Since implementing Kertos, compliance is no longer a headache, but taken for granted **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Matthias K. | COO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** Kertos’ GDPR features, especially the DSR workflows, fit integrate seamlessly with our operations. They’ve automated 100% of our compliance tasks, so what used to take days is now done in minutes and in many cases, does not even require a compliance manager's interaction anymore. Onboarding was a breeze as most integrations can be added with just a few clicks from a list of several hundreds of tools. Our homebrewn software is connected via API. Their team is very responsive and helps within hours if something beyond the standard scope is needed (which we saw rarely). As a European company, we also value having a partner from Europe that understands requirements and challenges first hand while easily measuring up to US compliance products. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Once implemented, it gets easy to forget we're even using the platform as it handles most issues by itself. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed to process GDPR requests quickly and keep our compliance status continuously audit-ready. With Kertos, the system runs in the background while our team focuses on core business priorities. ### 26. Kertos - finally no more GDPR overhead.. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dr. Sara M. | Co-Founder & CTO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **AI Translated:** This review has been translated from German using AI. **Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** Our experience with Kertos has been consistently positive. The platform has proven to be an extremely robust and user-friendly solution for automating our GDPR compliance. User-friendliness and onboarding (shout-out to the fantastic onboarding team.. without you, we would have been lost in the jungle of GDPR):

Even getting started with Kertos was a breeze thanks to the intuitive user interface and excellent support. The Kertos team actively supported us from the beginning, ensuring we could use the platform quickly and efficiently.

The dashboards are clearly structured and provide a quick overview of all relevant compliance activities.
Functionality and automation. Kertos has enabled us to significantly speed up manual processes such as responding to information requests, creating directories of processing activities, and managing data security incidents. The integrations with other tools are seamless and save us a lot of time and effort. The automatic classification of data and tracking of access rights have helped us improve our data protection processes.

Conclusion:
Kertos is more than just a tool; it is a comprehensive solution that has helped us simplify, accelerate, and improve our GDPR compliance. We highly recommend the platform to any company looking to digitize and automate its data protection processes. Kertos offers an excellent combination of functionality, user-friendliness, and outstanding support. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** One point we noticed is the customizability of the reports and dashboards. Although the standard dashboards are very good and clear, it would be great if we had the ability to tailor certain widgets and data points even more to our specific needs. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** GDPR Outsourcing ### 27. The Compliance Game-Changer for European Startups **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael M. | Senior DevSecOps Engineer & Information Security Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 08, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** Kertos speeds up the compliance workflow. We have now automated almost 100% of our compliance tasks. Previously, we used Vanta for compliance but switched to Kertos because they know exactly what a European startup needs. The easy integration of other systems into Kertos helped us provide an easy way to prove our ongoing compliance. The implementation of Kertos was quite easy, and the switch away from Vanta was the right step. We use the platform to train our employees regarding compliance and supervise our compliance frameworks throughout the year. When we need support, we receive a quick and competent response from their customer support. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** To be honest, finding something significant to "dislike" about Kertos is challenging, especially given the immense value it provides. All processes are sped up, and we have more time to focus on our product and less on filling out forms for compliance checks and audits. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos automated our compliance tasks. Previously, we managed the compliance of different systems in a decentralized manner. Now we have a "Compliance Control Center" where we can directly see what needs to be done, the progress of new compliance frameworks, and which trainings are missing or need to be renewed. With Kertos, we save a ton of time and can focus on our product. Kertos also helped us implement compliance in a European way. For example, GDPR was tackled in a way that is easy to integrate into our daily routine without headaches. Before Kertos, we had a queasy feeling in the stomach when compliance popped up, but now we solve compliance challenges confidently and with ease. ### 28. Ideal compliance partner for a growing scale-up **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Maximilian S. | Co-Founder & CTO, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** As a quickly growing scale-up, I could not imagine a better partner for compliance. We started with GDPR and added ISO through a cross-sell – all handled within the same platform. Kertos is the number one European Vanta alternative: full automation, hundreds of integrations, and the same technical strength but with local expertise. The personal support is always there when we need it. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** It's hard to find a true 'dislike.' I will say that because the platform is so comprehensive and automates so much, we had to take a moment to fully understand all of its capabilities. It’s a powerful tool, not a simple checklist, so there’s a small initial learning curve to unlock its full value. But their team was fantastic in helping us get up to speed. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted to unify GDPR and ISO compliance under one roof. Kertos made it possible without adding complexity. ### 29. Finally got our ISO 27001 with Kertos **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lennart P. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** Kertos made our journey toward ISO certification incredibly smooth and efficient. The platform’s clear structure, intuitive interface, and ready-to-use templates saved us weeks of work. The customer support team was responsive and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step and ensuring we stayed on track. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** There’s very little to dislike. If anything, we’d love to see even more integrations with other tools we use daily, to make the workflow even more seamless. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** We needed to quickly establish and document our internal information security processes in order to achieve ISO certification. Before Kertos, this felt overwhelming and time-consuming. With Kertos, we had a clear roadmap, centralized documentation, and automated compliance checks. As a result, we obtained our ISO certification in a fraction of the expected time, giving our customers greater trust in our data security and strengthening our market position. ### 30. The right way to solve your GDPR process! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christian Lucas E. | MD, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** Kertos made it simple to manage multiple frameworks from one place – GDPR, ISO 27001, and now even the EU AI Act through a cross-sell. The AI-CISO Kaia is a huge time saver, giving instant, reliable answers that would normally require a specialist. We’ve saved significant resources by consolidating everything into their platform instead of juggling separate vendors. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** One thing I’d love to see from Kertos is even deeper integration with some of our existing tools, so we can push and pull data without any manual steps. The current setup already streamlines compliance massively, but tighter connections would make it almost effortless. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted to handle compliance for different regulations without building a big in-house team. Kertos gives us the coverage and automation to do it all efficiently. ### 31. Excellent support on the path to ISO 27001 certification **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Current User:** The reviewer uploaded a screenshot or submitted the review in-app verifying them as current user. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through LinkedIn **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** found that the step-by-step instructions made it easy for me to fulfill the individual points relating to ISO 27001. The document templates are also helpful. I particularly like the feature for designing and managing policies, as well as the ability to share them directly with our employees and to check who has confirmed which policies and completed which training courses.

At first, it took me some time to find my way around Kertos, but after a short while I was able to quickly work with and navigate all of its features. From that point on, it was an enormous support and also contributed to me feeling confident in many aspects of the audit. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** During the time I used Kertos extensively and actively, changes were made to the system from time to time, which confused me at times. Nevertheless, customer service always helped me quickly, and it was also easy to submit a report directly via the website. Problems were often resolved very quickly. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Guided me through the entire process of implementing an ISMS, right through to successful ISO 27001 certification. ### 32. Best European Alternative for Vanta! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mago A. | Head of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic Review from Pop Up:** Invitation from G2. This reviewer was not provided any incentive by G2 for completing this review. **Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** Kertos has been a game-changer for us. It’s one of the few compliance platforms that really understands the European regulatory landscape, and it feels built for companies here rather than retrofitted from a US product like Vanta or the likes. The interface is clean, onboarding was straightforward, and their customer support is very responsive, not just scripted replies. It’s helped us save countless hours on audits and policy management, and it integrates well with the tools we already use. Honestly, 100% recommendation for others who are thinking of using a provider for their compliance. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Honestly, there’s not much to complain about. One small nitpick is the reporting section that could be more customized out of the box. But even here, the team has been super receptive to feedback and already rolled out improvements since we started using it. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Before Kertos, staying on top of compliance felt like juggling a dozen excel spreadsheets, checklists, and endless email threads. We were always in “reactive mode” before audits, scrambling to gather evidence and update policies. Kertos centralized everything for us (tasks, evidence, and progress tracking, etc.) so we have a single source of truth. It’s cut our prep time for audits by around 70% and given us far more confidence in our compliance readiness. ### 33. With Kertos, GDPR compliance for health data is now effortless and built into our daily operations. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ferdinand S. | Chief of Staff, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** At Aware Health GmbH, we handle sensitive health-related data every day, so GDPR compliance is absolutely critical. Kertos’ GDPR features – especially the Data Subject Request (DSR) workflows – integrate seamlessly into our operations and have automated nearly all of our compliance processes. Tasks that once took days are now completed in minutes, often without any manual involvement from our compliance team. The onboarding process was straightforward, with most integrations just a few clicks away from a library of hundreds of tools, and our custom healthcare software connected easily via API. Their team is impressively responsive, typically replying within hours whenever we needed support beyond the standard scope. As a European company working in healthcare, we value having a partner from Europe who understands both the regulatory nuances and the real-world challenges of handling medical data, while delivering a product that can stand alongside the best global compliance solutions. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Once Kertos is set up, it runs so seamlessly in the background that we hardly notice it’s there—quietly taking care of compliance without demanding our attention. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos enables us to handle GDPR and patient data requests quickly and keep our compliance status continuously audit-ready. In a healthcare environment, this not only meets regulatory requirements but also protects patient trust. By automating these processes, Kertos frees our team to focus on delivering better health services instead of getting bogged down in compliance admin ### 34. Compliance Automation from Start to Finish **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ziad H. | VP of Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** Using Kertos automated 100% of the process for us. With the help from their experts and the great customer success team, nothing felt like an obstacle and everything was just easy. We were using Vanta before, and you really can tell the difference it makes, having real people who are there to guide and help you through the process. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** It's hard to come up with something we disliked about Kertos. It ran smoothly, did exactly what we needed it to do, and allowed us to streamline our processes. I would say the tool is very powerful, so it can take a moment to get the full understanding; however, even there, the Kertos team was with us every step of the way. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos helped us speed up and simplify all our compliance needs. Staying within regulation is no longer a worry, but rather something we have become confident in. Rather than spending hours working on documentation, overlooking risks, and filling out endless documents, we have one software where we can do all this and have it automated rather than manually working on it ourselves. Compliance no longer takes up loads of our team's capacity but rather became an easy check-in. ### 35. Compliance partner that grows with our needs as a startup - made in the EU **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Patrick C. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through Google using a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** We wanted a platform that simplified managing the EU AI Act and GDPR while also providing a DPO. From our very first meeting, Kertos showed that they understood the complexities of the EU AI Act, GDPR, and DPO work. The DPO kickoff was well-structured, giving us clarity on our responsibilities from day one. We also appreciate knowing that if we decide to expand into ISO or other frameworks later, we'll be prepared. We especially look forward to implementing the Kertos Trust Center, which will showcase our compliance efforts and streamline the paper-based process of becoming a new vendor, making it faster and easier. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** I do not have any negative points so far. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** We developed our own GPT, which we sell to construction companies. As the EU AI Act questions increased, we needed to address it. We also received many questions about our GDPR documents, which slowed down our sales and created unnecessary work. We wanted to improve our documents and thus look for a partner that not only has a strong platform but also in-house experts. Kertos helped us stay operational and compliant without unnecessary complexity. ### 36. Effortless Data Privacy Compliance, Even for Beginners **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lukas P. | Founders Associate & Product Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** As someone with no prior knowledge of data privacy, I was amazed at how easy Kertos made the entire process. The platform is incredibly intuitive, and the team provided outstanding support. They guided me through every step, answering all my questions and making sure I felt confident. It’s a powerful tool that makes a complex topic manageable and even enjoyable. Just Awesome!!! **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Honestly, there is very little to dislike. The platform is robust and the support is excellent. Perhaps the only suggestion would be to have even more educational content directly within the application to further empower users who are completely new to the topic. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos has completely streamlined our data privacy compliance processes. Previously, managing data subject access requests (DSARs) and data inventories was a time-consuming and often confusing manual task (I hate it). Kertos has automated these workflows, saving us countless hours and significantly reducing the risk of human error. It provides clarity and structure, ensuring we meet our legal obligations efficiently and confidently. This allows us to focus on our core business instead of getting bogged down in administrative tasks and this is just amazing. Thank you Kilian! ### 37.

The AI assistant (KAIA) walks you through everything, it automated most of the tedious tasks, and their customer support is outstanding. Whenever I had a question, they responded quickly and with clear, actionable answers. The fact that it’s fully hosted in Germany and built for EU regulations gave me a lot of confidence over other service providers in this space. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Overall, I have nothing to complain about. A bit more guidance on setting up our internal compliance team during onboarding would have been a bonus, but the process still went smoothly and we were up and running quickly. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps us keep track of all the to-dos during onboarding and certification. Afterwards, it reduces our admin work to a minimum while still maintaining the highest level of compliance. ### 38.

Their ability to cover multiple frameworks like GDPR, ISO, and AI Act gives us confidence that we’ll be in good hands when we start. The personal support feels more like working with a partner than with a vendor. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Literally nothing. So far the experience has been extremely positive. We decided to switch to Kertos from another supplier and never regretted that decision! **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** We wanted to prepare for ISO certification without wasting time on trial-and-error.

The platform adds structure and transparency to our workflows, ensuring that nothing gets overlooked. We particularly appreciate the integrated DPO service – it’s like having a data protection expert on board without the extra overhead. Whenever we have questions, the Kertos team responds quickly with clear, practical guidance. Their style is approachable, solution-driven, and genuinely helpful. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** At times, we’d like even more flexibility in customizing certain workflows. That said, Kertos regularly introduces updates, so we’re optimistic these enhancements are on the way. Overall, there’s very little to complain about. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Previously, our GDPR-related tasks were scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and shared drives – making them hard to track and time-consuming to manage. Kertos centralizes everything, automates where possible, and adds expert oversight through the DPO service. This allows us to respond to requests more efficiently, demonstrate compliance with less effort, and concentrate more on our core business instead of administrative burdens. ### 49. Efficient ISMS Solution for ISO 27001 – Especially Suitable for Small Businesses **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) This reviewer's identity has been verified by our review moderation team. They have asked not to show their name, job title, or picture. **Validated Reviewer:** Validated through a business email account **Source: Organic:** Organic review. This review was written entirely without invitation or incentive from G2, a seller, or an affiliate. **AI Translated:** This review has been translated from German using AI. **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Kertos?** The user interface is modern, clearly structured, and very easy to use, which significantly simplifies the implementation of ISO 27001 requirements. Particularly helpful is the clear division into modules and templates, which saves a lot of time in documentation and tracking. Kertos can be well adapted to internal processes, and the existing integration options facilitate data exchange with other systems. The support responds quickly and competently, and the product is developing rapidly – problems are addressed promptly and often resolved in the short term. **What do you dislike about Kertos?** Some functions could be made more intuitive, especially with more complex workflows or when filtering content. However, since Kertos is continuously being developed, it is expected that these points will soon be optimized. There is also potential for additional comfort features in the document management area to make working with extensive files even more efficient. **What problems is Kertos solving and how is that benefiting you?** Kertos has helped us structure and centrally manage the entire ISO 27001 implementation process. Before its introduction, we had to maintain documentation, measures, and responsibilities in multiple tools and folders, which was confusing and time-consuming. Now we use Kertos as our central hub for all information security topics – from policies and processes to action tracking. Although we have not yet received the certification, we are actively working on it, and Kertos helps us keep track, save time, and avoid mistakes. ### 50.
