Interactive Awareness ProgramThe open-source compliance
and GRC platform for startups
Unicis gives startups and SMEs a complete, open-source compliance stack — ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2, and more — without the closed SaaS price tag or vendor lock-in.
Why open-source compliance software
wins for startups
