Valiido vs secjur for ISO® 27001 and TISAX®

secjur is a serious competitor - a German vendor whose Digital Compliance Office combines software with an integrated expert layer, covers a broad set of frameworks from ISO® 27001 and TISAX® to NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act, and targets SMEs of roughly 20 to 1,000 employees. Valiido shares the home market and the audience but takes the opposite model: pure software, built for exactly two standards - ISO® 27001 and TISAX® - with the Guide, 200+ 1-Click Examples and AuditMagic carrying the structure a consultant would otherwise provide.

So the real question is not which vendor is German or which covers TISAX® - both do. It is whether you want consulting bundled into the product, or software your own team runs. Here is the factual comparison.

When secjur is the right choice

secjur's hybrid model is the better fit if your team explicitly wants consulting included: an integrated layer of experts who take on parts of the compliance work and answer judgment questions as part of the package - secjur describes this as unlimited consulting at a fixed price. If you would otherwise hire an external consultant anyway, bundling that capacity into one vendor relationship can be exactly what you are looking for.

The same goes for breadth. If your regulatory scope reaches well beyond ISO® 27001 and TISAX® - NIS2, DORA, the GDPR, the EU AI Act and more in a single program - secjur's Digital Compliance Office covers ground that Valiido deliberately leaves out, and its 60+ API integrations connect it to a wider stack.

When Valiido fits better: teams that want to run their ISMS themselves

Valiido is built on the conviction that an SMB can own its ISMS without an external party in the loop - if the software carries the structure. The Valiido Guide walks your team through every ISO® 27001 and TISAX® requirement chapter by chapter, 200+ 1-Click Examples remove the blank-page problem, and AuditMagic checks every record instantly against Valiido best practices, ISO® 27001 and TISAX®, with a full report every Monday.

All working content - the Guide, the 200+ examples, the commentary - is available in German and English, while the interface itself is in English. Pricing is public from 149 €/month, you can try the product in the browser without a sales call, and unlimited support via email and chat is included. Customers report a 98.7% first-attempt audit pass rate, and the platform is designed to reach audit-readiness in 12 weeks.

The practical difference to a bundled consulting model: the knowledge ends up in your team, not in your vendor - and your costs stay a published subscription instead of a scoped engagement.

Two answers to the consultant question

Every SMB facing ISO® 27001 or TISAX® hits the same question: who tells us what to do next? secjur answers it with people - an expert layer integrated into the product, which is why its pricing is quote-based and its onboarding sales-led (as of June 2026). Valiido answers it with structure in the software: every requirement is explained in plain language, every example shows what a passing implementation looks like, and every task is tracked so nothing falls through the cracks before the audit.

Neither answer is wrong. But they lead to different organizations a year later: in one, the compliance routine runs through your vendor's experts; in the other, your own team has built and internalized the ISMS - with software that keeps checking it every week.
