A short framework list
Comp AI lists eight frameworks. NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act are not among them.
Comparison
An alternative to Comp AI
Comp AI is open-source compliance automation built to get teams audit-ready fast. Noru covers a wider framework list, EU regulation and privacy operations. Here is the comparison, from Comp AI's own pages.
Why alternatives
What teams tell us they are re-evaluating
Common reasons teams evaluate other options.
Self-hosting is an operation
Running compliance software yourself means owning its uptime, upgrades and security — the controls you are trying to evidence.
Where the data lives
Comp AI does not state a hosting region on the pages we reviewed. EU buyers and their DPIAs need that answer in writing.
Privacy kept as documents
A records-of-processing register maintained by hand drifts out of date the moment engineering ships.
Noru vs Comp AI: Key Differences
| Feature | Noru | Comp AI |
|---|---|---|
| Licence | Commercial platform, hosted by Noru | Open source (AGPL-3.0), with a commercially licensed portion |
| Published framework catalogue | 30+ frameworks, mapped once and reused | Eight frameworks |
| NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act | Supported | Not listed |
| ISO 42001 | Supported | Supported |
| Pricing model | Platform plus capability packages, scoped per deployment | No rate card published |
| Data residency | EU data residency by default | Not stated |
| Privacy records from source code | Article 30 records derived from code and CI, using an open privacy taxonomy | Not stated |
EU regulation in depth
NIS2, DORA, the Cyber Resilience Act and the EU AI Act alongside SOC 2 and ISO 27001, mapped through one control library across 30+ frameworks.
EU residency by default
Every customer's evidence, policies and personal data are stored and processed in the EU. AI inference is the one activity that may leave the EEA, under EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Privacy records from your code
Article 30 records and a data map derived from source code and CI, so the register changes when your systems do.
Open where it matters
Privacy manifests use an open taxonomy, and an MCP server lets AI clients query your live programme — without you running the platform.
Why Noru
Where Noru is different
What sets Noru apart for faster, smarter compliance.
Moving from Comp AI
Evidence from your own systems is collected again once integrations are connected; policies, risks and vendor records come across, and controls are re-mapped once. We scope the move during the demo.
Reconnect integrations; evidence is collected again from source
Bring across policies, risks and vendor records
Map controls once across every framework you carry
Time the switch around your next audit window
What is the best Comp AI alternative?
Noru is a Comp AI alternative for teams whose obligations go beyond the eight frameworks Comp AI lists — NIS2, DORA, the EU AI Act and GDPR records of processing — and who want a hosted platform with EU data residency rather than software to run themselves.
Is Noru open source like Comp AI?
No. Comp AI publishes its code under AGPL-3.0, with a portion under a commercial licence. Noru is a commercial platform that Noru hosts; it uses an open privacy taxonomy for data manifests and exposes your programme to AI clients over the Model Context Protocol.
How much does Noru cost compared with Comp AI?
Neither publishes a rate card. Noru licenses the platform plus the capability packages your obligations require, priced per deployment. Book a demo for a written quote against your scope.
Does Noru train AI on our compliance data?
No. Customer data is never used to train, fine-tune or evaluate any model — Noru's or a provider's — and every AI feature runs under zero data retention terms, so the model provider returns the output and keeps no copy of the prompt or response. Both commitments are contractual, in Section 4.6 of our Terms and Sections 3.5–3.6 of our DPA. Ask every vendor you shortlist for the same in writing.
