MEOK vs Vanta

No. Vanta covers SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR baseline, PCI DSS, and a handful of US/global security frameworks. The EU AI Act, DORA, NIS2, and the EU CRA are not on Vanta's roadmap as of this page's last review (27 April 2026). For EU AI/cyber regulations you need a bolt-on like MEOK.

Yes — recommended. Vanta is your operational evidence platform for SOC 2 + ISO + HIPAA + GDPR baseline. MEOK is your EU-regulatory evidence layer for EU AI Act + DORA + NIS2 + CRA + ISO/IEC 42001. The two don't conflict because they target different control families and different auditor audiences.

Vanta starts around $7,500/yr at the entry tier and scales to $25,000+/yr for mid-market with full multi-framework coverage. MEOK Pro is £149/mo (£1,490/yr annual) and Defence is £999/mo (£9,990/yr annual). Combined Vanta entry + MEOK Pro is approximately £6,000-£8,000/yr for SOC 2 + EU AI Act + DORA + NIS2 + CRA — typically less than half of Vanta+Drata side-by-side.

No. Vanta produces dashboards and trust pages with auditor-readable evidence, but the evidence isn't cryptographically signed in a way an external auditor can independently verify by URL. MEOK signs every attestation with HMAC-SHA256 and exposes a public verify_url any auditor can curl without contacting MEOK.

It depends on your auditor and customers. If you sell to US enterprise customers they will ask for SOC 2 (Vanta's strength). If you're EU-only B2B and your auditors are continental European they may accept ISO 27001 + EU AI Act evidence stacks instead — that's where MEOK alone can carry compliance evidence.

The free /scorecard takes 90 seconds. Bias Detection (Article 10) is a 7-day free trial then £299/mo. The Audit-Prep Bundle is a 14-day engagement at £4,950. No data migration — MEOK is API-side + signed-evidence side, Vanta is dashboard-side; they don't share storage.
