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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Once implemented, it gets easy to forget we're even using the platform as it handles most issues by itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our experience with Kertos is 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 acquainted with Kertos was a breeze thanks to the intuitive user interface and excellent support. The Kertos team actively supported us from the beginning and ensured that 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.

One point that stood out to us 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.

Kertos speed up the compliance workflow. We now automated almost 100% of our compliance tasks. Previous we used Vanta for compliance but switched to Kertos because the exactly now what a European startup needs. The easy integration of other Systems into Kertos helped us to provide an easy way to proof also 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 use it supervise our compliance frameworks during the whole year. When we need support, we get direct a quick and competent response from their customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, finding something significant to "dislike" about Kertos is challenging, especially given the immense value it provides. All processes are speeded up and we have more time to focus on our product and less on filling out forms for compliance checks and audits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
