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. There is one fee — per client, per month, by client size. No monthly base, no setup fee, no tiers. A client is one site (establishment): a company or group spanning several sites counts as one client per site.
The fee: per client, by client size
One recurring fee, quoted per month and billed annually, set by the client's size. That is the whole platform bill — there is no base fee and no setup fee.
| Client size | Entities at the site | Per-client / month |
|---|---|---|
| XS | Under 100 | €25 |
| S | 100–999 | €75 |
| M | 1,000–9,999 | €250 |
| L | 10,000–99,999 | €825 |
| XL | 100,000–999,999 | €2,750 |
| XXL | 1,000,000+ | €9,075 |
Worked example: what you'd actually pay
Say you run 12 clients (sites), each a small site in bracket S (100–999 entities). Your monthly cost is 12 × €75 = €900 — the whole platform bill. Start with a free 14-day trial, no setup fee. You then bill each client at your own rate — most managed service providers charge €50–€300 per client per month.
Optional support & advisory
AI email support is included in the license. Two human tiers sit above it, separate from the per-client fee.
| Support level | Monthly fee |
|---|---|
| AI email support | Included in the license |
| Human-in-the-loop support | €1,500 |
| NIS2 consultant (online, 1 day/week) | €7,000 |
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 (sites) do I manage?
A client is one site. Multiply each site by the per-client rate for its size and add them up — that is your whole bill. No tiers, no client-count bands, no negotiation.
2 Do I need AI assistance and integrations?
Every client includes the full feature set — AI drafting, integrations, the lot — from day one. There is no minimal tier to outgrow and nothing to unlock later.
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 six simple brackets (XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL).
Is there a setup fee or a minimum commitment?
Neither. There is no setup fee and no monthly base — you start with a free 14-day trial and then pay only the per-client fee for the sites you run. Every client includes the full feature set.
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.
