Comparing Secureframe? Here is the European alternative
Tidal Control is a compliance platform built and hosted in Europe, covering more than 30 frameworks including ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2 and DORA.
Everything stated below about Secureframe comes from Secureframe's own pricing page at secureframe.com/pricing, retrieved 23 September 2026. Tiers and wording change, so read the source before you decide anything.
Two different regulatory centres of gravity
Each point below is checkable on both sides. Nothing here rests on our word for what another vendor does.
A published price against a quote
Tidal Control lists Essential at 299 euro, Professional at 589 euro and Scale at 1,999 euro per month on tidalcontrol.com/pricing. Secureframe's pricing page names three tiers, Fundamentals, Complete and Defense, and publishes no figure against any of them.
Who performs the audit
Tidal Control works with accredited auditors, and more than 50 audits have passed this way at an average of 0-2 findings. Secureframe's pricing page includes "Access to the Secureframe Audit Partner Network" in its Fundamentals and Complete tiers, which is a route to a partner rather than an audit delivered by the vendor.
Where your evidence lives
Tidal Control is built and hosted in Europe, so controls, risks, policies and evidence stay under EU jurisdiction. Secureframe's pricing page states nothing either way about data residency, so ask any vendor you shortlist for it in writing and read their trust centre.
A top tier built for US federal work
Secureframe's third tier, Defense, is described in terms of SSP, POA&M, SPRS Score Tracker, Managed CUI Enclave and CMMC. That is United States federal contracting, and it is where the platform invests its depth. Tidal Control's depth sits in EU regulation: NIS2, DORA, GDPR and the national baselines such as BIO and NEN 7510.
The frameworks this usually comes down to
Buyers weighing two platforms are normally running more than one framework at once.
ISO 27001
The information security baseline, and the certification most European buyers start from.
SOC 2
The report American customers ask for, run from the same platform as your EU obligations.
NIS2
The EU directive on network and information security, with its own reporting duties.
DORA
Digital operational resilience for financial entities and their ICT suppliers.

What our customers say
With a single click, one Tidal test checks dozens of disks for encryption. Doing that manually would take a lot of time.
Frequently asked questions
Secureframe does not publish a price. Its pricing page lists Fundamentals, Complete and Defense with no figure attached (secureframe.com/pricing, retrieved 23 September 2026). Tidal Control publishes its subscription prices at tidalcontrol.com/pricing.
It depends where your obligations sit. Secureframe's Defense tier is built around CMMC, SSP and POA&M, which are United States federal instruments (secureframe.com/pricing, retrieved 23 September 2026). If your pressure comes from NIS2, DORA or a Dutch baseline like BIO or NEN 7510, that depth does not help you.
Yes. SOC 2 sits alongside ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, DORA and more than 30 other frameworks on one platform, so an American customer asking for SOC 2 and a European regulator asking for NIS2 are served from one set of controls.
Tidal Control is built and hosted in Europe, and your compliance data stays under EU jurisdiction. We do not make a claim about where Secureframe stores data. Ask for a written answer and read the trust centre of every platform on your shortlist.
