The UK answer to Vanta and Drata, priced for real UK budgets.
Compliance automation should not cost £30,000 a year. Unavoidably Secure gives UK regulated SMBs the same evidence-collection engine, the same auditor-ready reports, at a fraction of the price, in a UK product built for UK regulation.
What Unavoidably Secure is
Unavoidably Secure is a UK-built compliance automation platform that continuously collects evidence, monitors controls, and produces auditor-ready reports for ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials, and GDPR. It is priced for UK SMBs, which the incumbents are not.
The compliance software market is a US-owned duopoly, priced accordingly.
Vanta and Drata are the two dominant players in compliance automation. Both are US-built, both are priced for US mid-market ($20-40k per year), and both treat UK regulation as a bolt-on. UK SMBs that need ISO 27001 or Cyber Essentials to win an enterprise deal end up either paying US prices reluctantly or grinding through the whole thing on spreadsheets. Neither is acceptable, and neither is inevitable.
One UK-native platform, at a UK-viable price.
Unavoidably Secure covers the four frameworks a UK SMB actually needs (ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials, GDPR readiness) in a single subscription, priced for UK budgets. Continuous evidence collection from your existing stack (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, AWS, GitHub, HR systems). Automated control monitoring. One-click auditor-ready reports. All the pain, none of the price.
The compliance stack, unified.
ISO 27001 out of the box
The framework UK enterprise buyers most often ask for. Full mapping, evidence collection, gap analysis, audit-ready reporting.
SOC 2 for US-facing customers
For UK SMBs selling into US enterprises, SOC 2 Type II is unavoidable. Same platform, same evidence, no double work.
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus
The UK government's baseline standard. Automated pre-assessment, auditor-ready evidence, renewal reminders.
GDPR readiness
Records of processing activity, DSAR workflows, breach-notification templates, all mapped to the UK-GDPR schedule.
Continuous evidence collection
Connects to Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, AWS, GitHub, HRIS, MDM. Evidence pulled in the background, not the week before the audit.
A £2bn UK addressable market, owned by US-built product.
The UK compliance-tech market is worth roughly £2bn annually and growing at 20%+ per year. Vanta and Drata combined hold the majority of the enterprise segment, but the UK SMB segment (companies of 10 to 250 staff needing certification to sell into larger buyers) is priced out of both. That segment is Unavoidably Secure's target, and it is materially larger by seat count than the enterprise slice above it.
UK-first, price-first, distribution-ready.
US incumbents cannot easily reprice down without cannibalising their enterprise revenue. That structural pricing floor is the moat. Combined with UK-native regulation defaults (Cyber Essentials is not a Vanta feature), Unavoidably Secure has a genuine path to UK category leadership before the incumbents can retrofit a viable answer.
