Valiido Pricing 2026: What You Get for €149/Month

Building an information security management system (ISMS) without the right software gets expensive fast - consultant fees, custom templates, and hours of work that could have been avoided. Valiido offers a structured path to ISO® 27001 or TISAX® compliance starting at €149/month. In this guide we break down exactly what that price includes, who it suits, and how it compares to the alternatives.

What is Valiido?

Valiido is ISMS software built to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) reach ISO® 27001 or TISAX® compliance - without external consultants and without starting from zero.

The platform brings all your ISMS records into one place. No more scattered Excel sheets, Word documents, and email threads. A guided path walks you through every requirement, chapter by chapter, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Valiido was previously known as ISMS Connect. You can read more about the rebrand in ISMS Connect is now Valiido.

What does Valiido cost in 2026?

Valiido starts at €149/month. No hidden setup fees, no mandatory onboarding calls, no minimum contract that locks you in before you have had a chance to see what the platform actually does.

The pricing is deliberately built for lean SMBs - teams that cannot justify a six-figure consulting project but are serious about getting certified.

What do you get for €149/month?

That is the real question. Plenty of ISMS tools cost a similar amount but deliver little more than an empty framework. Valiido is built differently. Here is what is included:

AuditMagic

AuditMagic checks every object in your ISMS against ISO® 27001, TISAX®, and Valiido best practices - instantly. Every Monday, you receive an automatically generated audit report with findings sorted by severity and grouped by the affected resource.

Gaps surface before the real audit, not during it. You always know where you stand.

Valiido Guide

The Valiido Guide walks you through every ISO® 27001 and TISAX® requirement, chapter by chapter. The original standard text sits alongside plain-language commentary. Tasks and an audit trail are built directly into each chapter.

No guessing what comes next. Your team gets a clear roadmap from the first risk assessment all the way to a passed audit.

1-Click Examples

Over 200 ready-made ISMS entries, pre-mapped to ISO® 27001 and TISAX®, available in both English and German. Copy any example into your ISMS with a single click.

Policies, risk entries, control evidence - all available as clean, usable starting points. That is a significant time saving compared to building every document from scratch.

Unlimited Support

Valiido provides unlimited email and chat support with no ticket limits. You do not need to track a consultant's hourly budget or wait for a response billed by the quarter hour.

For lean teams without a dedicated ISMS function in-house, this matters more than it might seem.

Free Demo Access

Before committing, you can try Valiido in your browser at no cost - no credit card, no setup call. You see the platform as it actually works.

How does it compare to other approaches?

Consultants vs. software

An external ISMS consultant typically runs between €10,000 and €50,000 for an initial certification project - before you factor in ongoing re-assessment costs. Valiido replaces the structured part of that work with software your team controls directly.

That does not mean doing everything alone. It means you are not buying a consulting hour every time a question comes up.

DIY vs. platform

Many teams start with Excel, Word, and Confluence. That works up to a point. At audit time, documents need to be manually matched to controls, risk registers go stale, and version control becomes a problem nobody has a clean answer to.

Building an ISMS without a consultant is achievable - but it requires the right structure. A dedicated platform like Valiido gives you that structure from day one.

Other ISMS tools

Platforms like Vanta, Drata, and Sprinto are primarily built for larger organizations with complex, multi-framework compliance programs, and priced to match. Valiido is specifically designed for SMBs pursuing ISO® 27001 or TISAX® compliance, without the enterprise overhead those tools carry.

Who is Valiido right for?

Valiido is the strongest fit for companies that:

• Are working toward their first ISO® 27001 certification or TISAX® label
• Have a lean team without a dedicated ISMS department
• Do not have time to build everything from scratch
• Want a clear, audit-ready path without five-figure consultant invoices

If your organization is already certified and managing a complex multi-framework compliance program, it is worth verifying that Valiido's feature set covers your specific requirements before committing.

What do customers say?

We found it very enriching to achieve our planned certification so quickly and with such a high level of quality with the help of the toolkit and the great advice.

- Haiilo GmbH

Due to the highly structured preparation by ISMS Connect (now Valiido), we achieved the TISAX® certification without any deviations.

- Apostroph Group

98.7% of Valiido customers pass their audit on the first attempt. That is not a coincidence - it reflects a platform built specifically around audit preparation, not just documentation storage.

The bottom line

€149/month sounds modest for something as complex as ISMS certification. What Valiido delivers at that price - a guided path, instant compliance checks, 200+ ready-made examples, and unlimited support - is what other organizations pay consultants many times more to provide.

If you want to pursue your ISO® 27001 or TISAX® compliance in a structured, cost-efficient way, see Valiido pricing.
