Compliance Cost Calculator
Consultant benchmarks on one side, the TruSecure GRC license on the other. Pick your shape — every figure above is a sourced benchmark or the rate card, nothing estimated.
A named user is a person with a login. Extra users cost €20/month each and each adds 25 AI credits per month.
One AI credit pays for one completed AI action that a named person approves — for example mapping a control, drafting a policy, or summarizing an evidence record. Your license includes 75 credits per month (3 users × 25).
The consultant route
Every framework is its own engagement — priced per engagement, aged on delivery.
A consultant deliverable ages the day it is signed — year 2 is a new engagement. Compliance tools follow the same pattern: published pricing charges per framework or per tier, starting around €2,500/year for banded SMB tools.
TruSecure GRC, continuously
One license — every framework you picked, all connectors included.
Includes 3 named users and 75 AI credits per month. Overage is prepaid at €0.12/credit with a hard cap — no surprise auto-bills. All frameworks on one license, all 27 NIS2 transpositions included. Onboarding is fixed-scope and quoted after the first call; annual prepay, prices ex-VAT.
Benchmarks: consultant market data (Kertos, ISO 27001 year-1; SaaSFort, NIS2 readiness) and vendor-published tool pricing, dated 2026-08-17. TruSecure figures are the approved rate card — a 50-person company runs TruSecure GRC continuously for €4,400/year.
Why the gap is that wide
Consulting ends, TruSecure GRC keeps running
A gap assessment ages the day it is signed. The license runs the same controls continuously — same benchmarks, side by side above.
One license, every framework
The ladder charges per employee — not per framework. NIS2, DORA and ISO on one license; consultants bill each program separately.
AI does the evidence
Included AI actions collect and refresh evidence every day. Your team keeps the decisions — the 80/20 split.
What drives compliance costs?
Company size & complexity
More employees, systems, and third parties increase the scope of controls and evidence required.
Regulatory mix
Each framework (NIS2, DORA, GDPR, ISO, etc.) adds controls. Overlap creates redundant work without unified controls.
Current maturity
Starting from zero costs more than optimizing an existing program. TruSecure meets you where you are.
