How Noventiq overhauled global compliance across 60+ countries without scaling headcount

TL;DR

• Challenge: Noventiq's compliance program spanned 60+ countries and multiple frameworks, but every location operated in isolation with no shared evidence, no unified controls, and no visibility across frameworks.
• Solution: Noventiq used Vanta to consolidate seven compliance frameworks into a single, scalable program, with the Vanta Agent catching documentation gaps before auditors.
• ROI: Months of work now takes weeks. Headcount stayed flat. DORA readiness became a sales accelerant.

The challenge

A siloed, geography-by-geography compliance approach

As a trusted partner to enterprises across emerging and established markets alike, Noventiq sits squarely in the supply chains of some of Europe's most heavily regulated industries. This means Noventiq’s own compliance posture is a direct business asset. It also means the company has to comply with a multitude of frameworks, including the GDPR, the EU AI Act, DORA, NIS 2, the EU Data Act, and the EU Cyber Resilience Act, among others. 

‍

What Noventiq tried first: Noventiq managed several frameworks across more than 60 countries, using a “geography by geography” compliance approach. For example, six certified locations ran their ISO 27001 programs independently with separate evidence, separate policies, no shared controls, and no central oversight. Certification work repeated across locations or countries with no visibility into what any other location was doing.

‍

Noventiq's pivot point: Noventiq faced a program that couldn't scale. Documentation gaps only surfaced when an external auditor found them, leaving the team reactive. There was no central home for evidence, no way to map overlapping controls across frameworks, and no mechanism to get ahead of new regulatory obligations before clients started asking. 

‍

Why Noventiq chose Vanta: Noventiq needed a platform that could unify frameworks without duplicating control work, centralize evidence across geographies, and add new regulatory modules proactively, before they became urgent client requirements. Vanta delivered all three in a single platform.

The Vanta impact

From fragmented to a single, scalable governance infrastructure

Noventiq chose Vanta to replace a fragmented compliance model with a single governance infrastructure—one that could absorb existing frameworks, onboard new ones modularly, and give a lean central team real-time visibility across the entire program.

Here's how Noventiq deployed Vanta:

Noventiq's data governance program is now a strategic asset—one that responds to new regulatory obligations before clients ask, supports enterprise sales cycles with live evidence, and runs at scale without scaling the team. With the EU regulatory landscape still expanding, the modular architecture means the next framework is already within reach.
