Hello, Veylan.
We started Veylan after losing an €800K ARR deal because we couldn't produce a SOC 2 Type II report in time. The story is uncomfortably common: a European SaaS startup, three years old, with a great product and no security questionnaire answers ready when the enterprise prospect asked.
The existing options didn't fit.
- Legacy compliance platforms are excellent products, priced for US mid-market. Five-figure yearly starting prices are a hard sell for a Berlin team that's still figuring out series A.
- Templates from GitHub get you 40% of the way and stop being useful the moment an auditor reads them.
- Hiring a consultant for €25–80K is a real budget line item that most early-stage EU teams can't justify.
So we built the platform we wished we'd had:
- SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 readiness in one tool
- Priced €99–799/month, monthly billing, no contract
- EU-native (data in Frankfurt, DPA at sign-up)
- Questionnaire helper bundled, not charged as an add-on
- Trust Center bundled, not charged as an add-on
We're shipping the foundation now and will write here as features land. If you're closing your first enterprise deals from Europe — or trying to — we'd love to be the platform behind your next security review.
