Which platform for which need?

Tenacy

Fits CISOs looking for a data-oriented cyber cockpit with broad framework coverage. It takes time to get used to, and the approach remains more technical than collaborative.

CISO Assistant

Works for self-sufficient technical teams wanting a flexible open-source tool. The flip side: hosting, maintenance and updates are on you.

Make IT Safe

Built for CISOs, DPOs and GRC teams looking for a sovereign solution, fast to deploy, with deep automation and close-by customer support. If your stakes are European regulatory compliance (NIS 2, DORA, GDPR) and daily time savings, that is where we stand out.

Pricing & TCO

Simple, predictable pricing

Beyond the licence fee, the total cost of a GRC platform depends on the time your teams spend on it. Maintenance, configuration, training, framework updates: these hidden costs inflate your TCO. Make IT Safe is built to take most of that effort off your team’s plate.

Predictable pricing

Clear subscription, no hidden module fees, no surprises on the invoice.

Maintenance included

Hosting, framework updates, support: your team does not have to run infrastructure or regulatory watch.

Fast time to production

Live in under 4 weeks. Less time configuring, more time on what matters.
