Vailor: the sovereign AI-native GRC alternative to Cyber Sierra

With SaaS there is no server to provision and no technical stack to install, so the real timeline depends on how ready your starting data is: the scope you commit to, the asset inventory, the named owners and the framework you are targeting. Vailor runs as SaaS with no infrastructure to manage, or inside your own infrastructure when your context requires it. The approach that holds up over time is to open a narrow scope, produce one usable risk assessment, then extend entity by entity.

Fast growth adds entities, assets, suppliers and customers who ask for evidence. What saturates first is not the platform, it is the manual update work behind it. In Vailor, a new entity inherits the group settings (scales, matrices, risk sources) or keeps its own, and the AI prefills its risk assessments from its documents. On the compliance side, a control already assessed counts for every framework that asks for it. Effort then tracks your real scope rather than the number of spreadsheets somebody has to keep current.

No, because frameworks overlap heavily: governance, access management, incident handling, business continuity, supplier oversight. Annex A of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 sets out 93 controls across four themes, and many of them also answer what other frameworks expect. The work is to attach each piece of evidence to the control that carries it, then reuse that control wherever it counts. That is the job of the Vailor Control Framework: each control is maintained in one place and linked to every framework that asks for it, and each piece of evidence is collected once and reused everywhere.

The order comes from your customers and your sector, not from a theoretical list. ISO/IEC 27001 is often the baseline demanded in tenders. A SOC 2 report, built on the AICPA Trust Services Criteria where only the security criterion is mandatory, comes up as soon as you sell to North America. The NIS2 directive (EU 2022/2555) applies by sector and size, and the DORA regulation (EU 2022/2554) has applied to financial entities since 17 January 2025. Underneath all of them, EBIOS RM, the ANSSI method, produces the risk analysis that feeds them. In Vailor, NIS2, DORA, NIST CSF 2.0 and the ANSSI hygiene guide are available; ISO 27001 is planned, and other frameworks can be added by the Vailor team.

Three things matter: your framework with its controls and their owners, the evidence already collected together with its validity date, and the open risk assessments with their action plans. The exercise is to export them in tabular form, reconcile them against the target scope, import them, then spot-check the result. Running a pilot scope in parallel for one review cycle is how you confirm nothing was lost before switching everything over.

Once contributors multiply, the question is no longer what was done but who decided it, on what basis and on what date. Every control needs a named owner, a review deadline and a history you can open. Vailor traces every decision in an audit log with no delete function, and the AI quotes the passages from your documents it relies on, checked word for word, so a decision stays defensible in front of an auditor or a committee months later, without having to redo an analysis whose assumptions nobody can find.
