Comparison

Veritome vs Kertos

Kertos is a strong Munich-built compliance suite covering GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001 and the EU AI Act, with German-language product and experts. Veritome covers one regulation and goes deeper into it — at a price you can read on the website.

The short answer

Choose Kertos if you’re a DACH company carrying GDPR and information-security obligations alongside the EU AI Act and want one German-speaking vendor for all of it. Choose Veritome if the EU AI Act is your real exposure, you already have privacy handled, and you want self-serve pricing instead of a quote.

Where each wins

Both columns, in good faith.

Where Veritome wins

Published pricing — you can start without contacting sales
Article-level EU AI Act depth rather than one module in a suite
Annex IV, FRIA and Declaration of Conformity assembled from live data
Hash-sealed dossiers a third party can verify without an account
Free tier that classifies your first system today
One evidence store behind both EU AI Act obligations and ISO 42001 controls, so proof is filed once

Where Kertos wins

One vendor for GDPR + NIS2 + ISO 27001 + EU AI Act — which is what many EU SMEs actually face
Native German-language product and German-speaking compliance experts
ISO 42001 management system as the backbone, so EU AI Act work produces something certifiable

Who should choose which

The honest split.

Choose Veritome if…

Your privacy and security obligations are already handled elsewhere, the EU AI Act is the genuinely new problem, and you’d rather see a price than book a demo.

Choose Kertos if…

You’re a German-speaking SME who needs GDPR, NIS2 and information security solved alongside the EU AI Act, and you value a single German-language vendor with hands-on onboarding more than self-serve pricing. That is a legitimate reason to pay more.

Straight answers

Questions people ask about this comparison

How much does Kertos cost?

Kertos does not publish pricing in any public source we could find, including the major review directories. Expect a quote-based annual contract. We won’t invent a number — ask them directly.

Can I use both?

Some companies do: a broad suite for GDPR and infosec, and a dedicated instrument for the EU AI Act. If your AI estate is small, that’s usually overkill — pick one and go deep where your exposure is.
