    About

    In practice. What you can do with Sovkern.

    Sovkern is a French compliance management platform for businesses without a dedicated in-house team. It aims to replace scattered spreadsheets, meetings, and follow-ups with a dashboard, prioritized action plan, and centralized evidence. The publisher says evidence can be reused across relevant directives and frameworks, reducing duplicate documentation.

    The advertised GDPR plan includes a processing register, impact assessments, a progress score, and a tailored action plan. Core adds unlimited directives and frameworks, risk, control, and evidence management, plus a collaborative workspace. Unlimited is quote-based and includes additional modules and services. The publisher states that the platform is hosted in France and supports two-factor authentication.

    For a small business, the product is most relevant when compliance obligations or client security requests recur and need an owner, evidence trail, and prioritized plan. For a solo freelancer or a newly started microbusiness, the price and annual commitment are hard to justify without concrete client, sector, or framework requirements. The publisher also presents a separate one-off cyber health check, listed at €2,200 excl. VAT for fewer than 10 employees and €4,400 excl. VAT for 10 to 50 employees.

    Sovkern helps organize compliance work and evidence. The platform is not a certification, does not by itself guarantee compliance, and does not replace legal advice or specialist support where needed.
