Modulos alternatives: 12 tools compared (October 2026)

trail is a Munich-based platform for AI governance and GRC automation that registers and classifies AI systems, generates documentation and runs agents for recurring compliance tasks.

Key functions

• AI registry with classification under the EU AI Act and ISO/IEC 42001
• Automated documentation generation for AI systems
• GRC agents handle recurring governance tasks in existing tools with human approval

Compared with Modulos

• Can store data in the EU; Modulos states no EU option.
• Strongest elsewhere: Germany.

Check before buying: trail does not publish prices, so ask for the model by number of AI systems or modules. Choose the deployment model early, since on-premises and own-cloud operation shift maintenance to your IT. Define who approves agent changes in connected tools.

heyData is a compliance platform from Berlin for small and midsize companies that covers GDPR, ISO 27001, NIS2 and the EU AI Act, with AI drafts and access to certified experts.

Key functions

• AI drafts data protection impact assessments
• AI drafts risk analyses
• AI drafts policies

Compared with Modulos

• Publishes a price (from €59 per month); Modulos quotes on request.
• Can store data in the EU; Modulos states no EU option.
• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Modulos does not.
• Different pricing model: flat fee instead of contact for pricing.

Check before buying: Check which modules you need, since privacy has public prices while information security and the EU AI Act are quoted separately. Bundling frameworks can reduce the price. Support scope and response times differ by plan, and there is no phone hotline; requests run through the customer platform.

Collibra is a data catalog and governance platform that helps large organizations define, find and control their data. AI turns policies into data quality checks, and the AI Command Center governs AI agents and models across their lifecycle.

Key functions

• AI generates data quality rules from policies, data contracts and business rules and monitors anomalies
• Context engineering turns unstructured documents into AI-ready data with metadata enrichment and sensitivity screening
• AI Command Center governs agents, models and use cases across their lifecycle

Compared with Modulos

• Names 7 security certificates, Modulos 2.
• Strongest elsewhere: Belgium.

Check before buying: Pricing is by quote. The trust center says Collibra runs on several public clouds but names no regions, so fix the hosting region in the contract. The AI Command Center can support duties under the EU AI Act, but responsibility for classifying your AI systems stays with you.

Credo AI is an AI governance platform for large enterprises that registers models, applications and agents, assesses their risks continuously and maps them to frameworks such as the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF.

Key functions

• Govern AI Assistant (GAIA) handles evidence retrieval, risk assessment and remediation planning
• Continuous risk assessment with automated red-teaming and drift detection
• Automated evidence generation and audit trails

Compared with Modulos

• Strongest elsewhere: United States.

Check before buying: Credo AI does not publish prices, so ask for the license model by number of AI systems or users. Review certifications, hosting and subprocessors in the trust center, since the product pages do not list them. Plan which integrations the registry needs to find shadow AI.

DataGuard is a compliance platform from Munich that combines software for privacy, information security and EU AI Act readiness with AI automation and optional external experts.

Key functions

• AI suggests answers to security questionnaires based on previously validated data
• AI identifies and prioritizes security and compliance risks with remediation guidance
• Automated evidence collection and audit preparation

Compared with Modulos

• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Modulos does not.
• Strongest elsewhere: Germany.

Check before buying: All plans are priced by quote, so compare what expert support is included in Pro and Enterprise. The website does not name data hosting locations or certifications in plain text; check them in the trust center. Decide whether you need an external data protection officer, since that changes the plan.

Drata is a compliance automation and GRC platform that collects evidence, monitors controls and uses AI agents for security questionnaires, vendor risk and the governance of AI agents.

Key functions

• AI Questionnaire Assistance drafts answers to security questionnaires
• AI agents assess vendors, collect evidence and follow up
• Agent Governance discovers AI agents in your environment and enforces policies

Compared with Modulos

• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Modulos does not.
• Strongest elsewhere: United States.

Check before buying: Drata does not publish prices or customer data regions, so ask for both before a trial. Integrations need read access to cloud, identity and HR systems, so review the permissions. If you use Agent Governance, define who approves agent policies.

Lakera secures generative AI applications, AI agents and employee AI use: its runtime protection screens prompts and responses for attacks and data leakage, and AI red teaming tests AI systems through simulated attacks.

Key functions

• Real-time detection of direct and indirect prompt injection in more than 100 languages
• Protection against data leakage and toxic content for AI agents and employees
• Automated and expert-led red teaming for AI applications

Compared with Modulos

• Targets companies under 50 employees, which Modulos does not.
• Different pricing model: freemium instead of contact for pricing.
• Strongest elsewhere: United States.

Check before buying: Since Lakera belongs to Check Point, check which contract entity and legal documents apply. Ask where prompts are processed in the SaaS platform; a self-hosted option was not described on the website when we checked in September 2026. Monitoring employee prompts can reveal behavior, so involve works councils where they exist and check data processing terms.

OneTrust is a governance platform for privacy, consent, data use, technology risk, third parties and AI, aimed at large organizations that need one system for these programs.

Key functions

• Discovers AI systems, agents, models and datasets and keeps them in one inventory
• Automates risk tiering aligned to the EU AI Act, NIST and ISO 42001
• AI Guard SDK detects sensitive data in prompts and responses before the model sees it

Compared with Modulos

• Strongest elsewhere: United States.

Check before buying: OneTrust does not publish prices, and licensing depends on the modules chosen, so scope the modules first. Check whether runtime controls cover your AI platforms, since the page names Amazon Bedrock and Microsoft Foundry. Ask for data hosting regions and certifications, which the pages we checked did not state.
