NIS2 Compliance Software Pricing: What You Actually Pay
Most NIS2 compliance platforms hide their price behind a 'contact sales' button. This guide breaks down the real pricing models on the market, explains what drives the cost, and publishes our own tiers in full so you can compare on equal terms.
The four pricing models on the market
Before comparing numbers, understand the model. NIS2, the EU network and information security directive, is served by tools that price in four very different ways.
Per-organisation software
A flat monthly or annual fee per organisation. Simple to predict, but the cost does not scale with how many clients or assets you actually manage.
Per-client MSP pricing
Built for managed service providers: a base subscription plus a fee per end-client, often by client size. The cost tracks the work. This is the model Easy Cyber Protection uses.
Enterprise GRC platforms
Governance, risk and compliance suites sold on annual contracts with custom scoping and a dedicated account manager. Powerful, but heavy and rarely priced in public.
Consultancy plus tooling
A day-rate advisory engagement bundled with a compliance tool. High-touch and high-cost: the price is mostly people, not software.
What actually drives the price
Whatever the model, four factors move the final number.
Number of clients or entities
More organisations and more in-scope assets mean more evidence to collect and more to support.
Feature tier
Entry tiers may cover templates and manual import only. Artificial intelligence (AI) assistance and integrations usually sit on higher tiers.
Integrations
Connecting your existing tools (Microsoft 365, endpoint detection and response, identity providers) saves time but is often a paid-tier feature.
Support and onboarding
Self-serve keeps the price down. Hands-on onboarding and managed delivery cost more.
Easy Cyber Protection pricing, in the open
We publish our pricing because hidden pricing wastes everyone's time. The table below is the full Managed Service Provider channel. Every tier carries a 12-month minimum commitment.
| Tier | Clients | Monthly base | Setup | Included features |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | Under 10 | €0 | €399 one-time | Templates, CSV import, audit-readiness output |
| Practice | 10–49 | €499 | None | Full: AI assistance and integrations |
| Studio | 50–99 | €999 | None | Full: AI assistance and integrations |
| Firm | 100–999 | €1,999 | None | Full: AI assistance and integrations |
| Enterprise | 1,000+ | Custom quote | Custom | Full, bespoke scope |
Per-client fee, by client size
On top of the monthly base, each end-client carries a fee in one of three brackets. The bracket is the same on every tier.
| Client size | Entities | Per-client / month |
|---|---|---|
| S | Under 1,000 | €75 |
| M | 1,000–9,900 | €250 |
| L | 10,000+ | €750 |
Total cost of ownership: look past the licence
The subscription is the visible cost. It is rarely the biggest one. Certification audit.
1 The licence
The subscription or per-client fee above. The most visible cost, and often not the largest.
2 Your internal time
Hours spent gathering evidence and writing policies. Usually the biggest real cost. A platform that saves those hours pays for itself.
3 Optional consultancy
External help if you want it. A choice, not a requirement, when the platform guides the work.
4 Certification audit
If you pursue a CyberFundamentals (CyFun) or ISO 27001 certificate, a conformity assessment body charges a separate audit fee. See our CAB audit cost guide for the numbers.
How to choose on price
Three questions settle most decisions.
1 How many clients do I manage?
Under ten: Starter, a one-time setup with no monthly base. Ten to forty-nine: Practice. Above that: Studio or Firm. The tier follows your client count, not a sales negotiation.
2 Do I need AI assistance and integrations?
Starter is intentionally minimal: templates, manual import and audit output. If you want AI drafting and connectors to your existing tools, you are on Practice or higher.
3 What is the total cost, including my own time?
A cheaper licence that costs 200 internal hours is more expensive than a guided platform that costs 20. Price the hours, not just the invoice.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Easy Cyber Protection publish its pricing when competitors do not?
Because hidden pricing wastes everyone's time. Our promise is that compliance should be easy, and that starts before you sign up. The full table is above.
Why is the per-client fee based on client size?
A client with 50,000 entities generates far more evidence and needs more support than one with 500. Size-based pricing keeps the cost aligned with the actual work, in three simple brackets.
Does the Starter setup fee include onboarding?
Yes. It covers two short onboarding calls plus self-serve documentation, enough to get your first clients live. It keeps the entry price sustainable without a monthly base.
What is not included in the sticker price?
Your internal time is the main one, plus a separate conformity assessment body audit if you choose to certify. Budget both when you compare platforms.
