Unicis review
A low-cost compliance foundation with privacy workflows, framework mapping, and self-hosting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Unicis is an open-core governance, risk, and compliance platform for startups, SMEs, and organizations that need either managed SaaS or self-hosted deployment. Its scope covers privacy workflows, cybersecurity controls, risk registers, evidence attachment, audit trails, awareness training, and framework mapping. The product is suited to teams building a structured compliance program around GDPR, security controls, and related frameworks without committing to a large enterprise platform.
Pricing is organized across three monthly, per-user tiers. Community costs €0 per user per month and includes a Record of Processing Activities, Transfer Impact Assessment, GDPR and MVSP cybersecurity controls, SSO and SAML, and community support. Premium costs €19 per user per month and adds an Interactive Awareness Program, Privacy Impact Assessment, controls for ISO 27001, NIS2, CIS, C5, OWASP ASVS, and ISO 42001, plus Cybersecurity Risk Management, webhooks, and an API. Ultimate costs €49 per user per month and adds NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, and PCI DSS controls, Asset Inventory Management, Audit Logs, and dedicated enterprise support. Annual billing is shown with a 20% discount, and a 14-day free trial is available.
The platform’s ecosystem fit is a notable strength for organizations with existing identity and collaboration tools. Integrations include Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Entra ID, Google, Okta, OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0, REST API, and webhooks. Its supported frameworks span privacy, cybersecurity, cloud, application security, AI governance, and audit-oriented requirements, giving teams room to expand beyond an initial GDPR program. Choose Unicis for affordable privacy and compliance basics, flexible deployment, and identity integration. Teams seeking a narrowly focused privacy tool may find its broader GRC scope unnecessary, while larger organizations should compare the per-user tiers and support model with their operational needs.
