Target Audience
SoSafe targets enterprise organisations (500+ employees). Lupasafe is built for SMEs (5–250 employees) and MSPs serving the SME market.
NIS2 Compliance
Lupasafe maps e-learning to NIS2 Directive Article 21 requirements — including cybersecurity training, incident reporting, and remote working policies. SoSafe offers generic compliance modules without specific NIS2 mapping.
MSP & White-label
Lupasafe is an MSP-first platform with white-label, Autotask integration, and 3-minute onboarding. SoSafe does not offer MSP multi-tenant functionality.
NIS2 Directive Compliance: The Biggest Difference
The NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555) requires organisations to implement and demonstrate cybersecurity measures. Lupasafe maps training directly to these requirements — SoSafe does not.
Article 21(2)(g): Cybersecurity Training & Awareness
NIS2 requires demonstrable cybersecurity education for management and employees. Lupasafe delivers this through:
- Integrated e-learning with role-specific modules (management, IT, end-users)
- NIS2 role designation: security officer, incident manager, data protection officer
- Automated annual planning and compliance reporting as audit evidence
SoSafe: generic awareness training, no NIS2 compliance mapping, no role-specific NIS2 modules.
Article 21(2)(c): Business Continuity & Remote Working
NIS2 requires policies and training for secure remote working. Lupasafe delivers this through:
- Dedicated e-learning module “Remote Working” (mapped to ISO 27001 A.6.7)
- Endpoint compliance monitoring across home workstations (Mac/Linux/Windows)
- Automated reporting as evidence for auditors
SoSafe: no dedicated remote working module, no NIS2 Article 21 mapping.
