What is Kardu?

One question

Is your company ready to demonstrate its security today?

Not in six months when the audit arrives. Not when a client demands it. Today. With real evidence, active controls and a report ready to share in one click.

For most European SMEs, the honest answer is no. Not because they lack controls — but because they don't have a system that organises them, evidences them and keeps them up to date.

Kardu is that system.

What Kardu does

Kardu is a Governance, Risk and Compliance platform designed specifically for European companies between 10 and 250 people that need to manage their security in an organised way without a dedicated CISO team.

In practice, Kardu does four things:

Organises your security controls on the ISO 27001 structure and automatically cross-references them with NIS2, ENS and DORA. A control that covers NIS2 also covers ISO 27001 with no extra work.

Links evidence to each control. Every policy, log, record or document is attached to the control it demonstrates, with cryptographic timestamping and expiry alerts.

Makes your security posture visible. Your public Trust Center at trust.kardu.eu shows your Compliance Score in real time to clients, prospects and auditors.

Automates repetitive work. Reminders, assignments and alerts so no control goes without evidence and no expiry catches you off guard.

Who it is for

Kardu is for the operations or IT manager of a European SME who has just received a security questionnaire from a large client, or who knows NIS2 applies to them but does not know where to start, or who has ISO 27001 certification on the roadmap but is not sure how to get there.

It is also for MSPs that manage compliance for multiple clients and need a platform that lets them do it efficiently from a single account.

Why it exists

GRC tools on the market were built for large corporations with dedicated compliance teams and six-figure budgets. They are expensive, complex and require consultants to implement.

At the same time, European regulation keeps growing. NIS2, DORA, ENS, the AI Act. European SMEs have the same fundamental obligations as large companies, with far fewer resources to manage them.

Kardu exists to close that gap. A modern GRC system, affordable and designed from scratch for the European regulatory context.
