Comparing Thoropass? 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 Thoropass comes from Thoropass's own pricing page at thoropass.com/pricing, retrieved 23 September 2026. Tiers and wording change, so read the source before you decide anything.
What to compare when the model is the same
Each point below is checkable on both sides. Nothing here rests on our word for what another vendor does.
A published price against a tailored quote
Tidal Control lists Essential at 299 euro, Professional at 589 euro and Scale at 1,999 euro per month on tidalcontrol.com/pricing. Thoropass states that pricing "varies based on factors such as the frameworks pursued, audit scope, company size, and required services" and that organisations "receive a tailored quote".
Both of us deliver the audit
This is the one axis where the two are alike. Thoropass states that it "is a licensed auditor that delivers audits, supported by purpose built software". Tidal Control works with accredited auditors on the same principle, with more than 50 audits passed at an average of 0-2 findings. Compare the accreditation and the track record rather than the model.
Where your evidence lives
Tidal Control is built and hosted in Europe, so controls, risks, policies and evidence stay under EU jurisdiction. Thoropass'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.
Compare the accreditation, not the pitch
Because both vendors deliver the audit, the differentiator moves to who accredits that audit and for which jurisdiction. Ask both for the accrediting body, the standards in scope and where the audit opinion is recognised. Tidal Control works with accredited auditors on European certification, with more than 50 audits passed at an average of 0-2 findings.
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.

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
Yes. Thoropass states that it "is a licensed auditor that delivers audits, supported by purpose built software" (thoropass.com/pricing, retrieved 23 September 2026). On that point the two platforms work the same way, so the question worth asking is which accreditation applies in your jurisdiction.
Accreditation and jurisdiction. Ask each vendor which body accredits them and where the resulting opinion is recognised, then check that it matches the market you sell into. The platform features matter less than that answer.
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 Thoropass stores data. Ask for a written answer and read the trust centre of every platform on your shortlist.
About three months on the standard path: one day of setup, two weeks of planning, nine weeks of implementation and two weeks for certification.
