Supplier Shield vs ProcessUnity
ProcessUnity is a solid, established TPRM platform used by real enterprises. If your program runs under US frameworks, they are a legitimate choice. If you are a European regulated entity under DORA, NIS2, or nDSG, the regulatory depth gap; and the time it takes to close it; matters.
When you choose Supplier Shield, you get the whole GRC platform.
Supplier Shield is the TPRM module inside Acuna GRC; the AI-native GRC platform built by the same Swiss team, on the same infrastructure. You are not buying a point tool; you are getting an operating system for your entire compliance program.
Third-party risk, vendor inventory, assessments, OSINT monitoring, and audit-ready evidence.
GDPR, nDSG, RoPA, DPIAs, and breach response workflows; all in one place.
ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, SOC 2, FINMA, and 50+ frameworks with multi-control mapping.
Audit universe, planning, fieldwork, findings, and follow-up; no separate tool needed.
Top-down risk register, KRIs, and board-grade reporting across your organisation.
BIA, recovery plans, crisis-management runbooks, and exercises; integrated into your risk picture.
Side-by-side comparison.
Three reasons teams choose us.
Regulation-first, not regulation-as-configuration
ProcessUnity built a strong US-focused platform and is adding European framework support. We built European regulation into the product architecture from day one. When your regulator asks specifically about DORA RTS Article 28, that difference shows.
Faster, and dramatically better value
ProcessUnity enterprise deals typically run €30,000–€100,000+/year for TPRM alone, with a PS engagement to get started. Acuna GRC starts from CHF 5,388/year with transparent modular pricing; most customers are running live assessments within two weeks, no consultants required.
Between-cycle intelligence
A questionnaire tells you where a vendor stood six months ago. Our OSINT engine monitors your supply chain continuously; so you know about a security incident, financial distress signal, or regulatory action before the next assessment cycle opens.
Neither tool is right for every situation. Here is when each one makes sense.
ProcessUnity is a credible choice for large US-headquartered multinationals running mature TPRM programs under American frameworks, and who have the procurement budget and IT resources to implement an enterprise platform properly.
When you choose Supplier Shield, you get Acuna GRC: a modern AI-native platform covering TPRM, data protection, compliance, and internal audit; purpose-built for European regulation from day one. You are not trading a capable TPRM tool for a narrower one; you are getting a full GRC platform for less than ProcessUnity charges for TPRM alone, live in weeks, with European regulatory expertise built into the product.
