Why CyberUpgrade Exists

Security frameworks, audit logs, vendor questionnaires—most founders would rather push code than chase certificates. CyberUpgrade steps in as an AI-powered co-pilot that automates the paperwork, keeps an eye on risks, and even nudges your teammates inside Slack or Teams. The goal is simple: make enterprise-grade cybersecurity attainable for small startups and regulated enterprises without hiring a battalion of analysts.

If your inbox is overflowing with ISO 27001 to-dos or your board keeps asking about NIS2 and DORA, CyberUpgrade promises to clear the noise and get you “audit-ready” 24/7.

Stand-Out Features

AI Compliance Copilot

CyberUpgrade’s flagship Copilot watches over your security program, maps existing controls to 35+ frameworks, and automatically collects evidence from code scanners, endpoint managers, and cloud logs. It then files everything in an audit room that an external assessor can review in minutes. You see realtime progress inside a visual dashboard—no more juggling spreadsheets.

Risk Management & Live Dashboards

A built-in engine identifies vulnerabilities, categorizes them by impact, and tracks mitigation steps. Instead of weekly PDF reports, you get live risk scores and automated reminders that keep projects moving. The dashboard covers infrastructure, vendors, and employee behavior so nothing falls through the cracks.

Security Questionnaire Automation

Tired of filling out 400-line spreadsheets from prospects? Upload a previously answered questionnaire once and CyberUpgrade’s generative AI pre-populates future forms with consistent, policy-aligned answers. You can accept, tweak, or regenerate responses, cutting manual effort by up to 90 percent.

Employee Engagement & Training

Compliance only sticks when people participate. CyberUpgrade pushes interactive micro-lessons, phishing simulations, and policy acknowledgments straight into Slack or Microsoft Teams. The gamified approach boosts company-wide participation to nearly 100 percent—something traditional LMS tools rarely achieve.

Vendor & Continuous Monitoring

The platform ingests data from vulnerability scanners, SIEM feeds, and even DDoS sensors, surfacing high-risk suppliers or configuration drift. Automated workflows kick off tasks, assign owners, and track closure so you never lose sight of third-party exposure.

Pricing: From Starter Packs to Full-Blown Frameworks

CyberUpgrade offers tiered service plans that scale with regulatory pressure:

Starter – For traditional SMBs that need the basics, pricing starts around €329 per month plus a €199 onboarding fee. You get about 25 percent of ISO 27001 controls, risk assessments, policy templates, and the virtual assistant.

Practical – Adds code-base scanning and covers roughly 40 percent of ISO 27001. Pricing is quote-based but typically lands in the mid-three-figure monthly range.

NIS2 Compliance – Delivers 100 percent ISO 27001 alignment plus all NIS2 measures, optional pentesting, and fractional CISO hours. Custom pricing.

DORA Compliance – Tailored for financial entities that must hit Digital Operational Resilience Act requirements. Includes disaster-recovery planning and managed vulnerability scanning. Custom pricing.

Every paid tier comes with a three-month trial, and you can bolt on extras like phishing simulations, code scanners, or full pentest services. If none of the out-of-the-box plans fit, the team encourages a quick call to design a bespoke package.

FAQ

Is CyberUpgrade only for EU regulations like NIS2 or DORA?

No. While it excels at EU directives, the platform also handles SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and over 30 other frameworks. You can run multiple standards in parallel without duplicating evidence.

Do I need a security team to use the tool?

Not necessarily. Many early-stage companies rely on CyberUpgrade as a virtual CISO. The Copilot guides you, assigns tasks, and escalates issues when human judgment is required.

How does the Slack/Teams integration work?

You install a lightweight bot that delivers training snippets, collects evidence (“upload this AWS IAM policy”), and reminds employees to acknowledge new rules. All interactions sync back to the compliance dashboard automatically.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a three-month trial period so you can run a small framework (often ISO 27001 Lite) before committing long-term.

Where is my data stored and is it GDPR-compliant?

Data is hosted in EU-based data centers with encryption at rest and in transit. CyberUpgrade’s own controls are mapped to ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and all data processing agreements include standard contractual clauses.

Can CyberUpgrade replace yearly penetration tests?

It offers PenTest-as-a-Service as an add-on, delivering scheduled tests plus on-demand retests after major releases. For some regulators you will still need an external auditor, but the service makes that handoff seamless.

Verdict

CyberUpgrade feels like having a tireless guardian standing behind every Git push and vendor contract. If you are scaling fast and want to avoid compliance-driven bottlenecks—or worse, audit failures—the platform can pay for itself in saved headcount alone.

It is not the cheapest option, especially when you layer on pentesting or a fractional CISO, and hands-off founders will still need to sign policies and close critical risks. But if you are ready to trade spreadsheet mayhem for a single pane of glass, CyberUpgrade is worth a serious look.
