Common questions

FAQ

What is a good Venminder alternative for smaller companies?+

Venminder is built for regulated US financial institutions and sells packages plus services by quote. For startups and SMEs that need vendor risk evidence for SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIS2 or DORA, a self-serve platform such as Vendorapp covers the register, risk ratings, sanctions screening, contracts and audit evidence, with published pricing and a free plan.

How much does Venminder cost?+

Venminder does not publish prices. It sells Professional and Enterprise packages, with outsourced services such as control assessments priced separately.
