Varde Reviews & Product Details

Varde is a compliance self-assessment platform for UK organisations that need a clear answer on where they stand, without an enterprise procurement process. Answer plain-English questions about how your organisation actually works, and Varde produces a RAG-rated report showing where you meet the requirements, where you partly meet them, and where the gaps are. The assessment is free and usually takes 10–20 minutes, depending on how much applies to your organisation. Schemes covered: FCA SYSC 10A – telephone and electronic communications recording, for FCA-regulated firms UK GDPR – for businesses, with dedicated tiers for community organisations, clubs and charities DORA – in early access for UK firms with EU exposure If the report shows gaps, the paid stage takes it further: it confirms what you already have in place, produces a detailed gap report, and guides you through closing each missing criterion. For SYSC 10A, this includes a policy builder. Lower pricing for the paid stage is available to community organisations, clubs and charities. Varde is built by Stripy Fish Networks, an independent IT security and compliance consultancy established in 2003.
