04Sourced 2025-2026 signals

What's new at Keepabl (2025-2026, sourced)

These sourced updates were researched on 2026-07-05 and are listed separately from the live comparison table so existing profile claims remain unchanged.

CertificationSource: keepabl.com

Keepabl won a Netty Award for "Best Compliance Software (Privacy Management)" in the Apps & Software category in June 2024, and was shortlisted in the "Most Innovative Platform/Software of the Year" category at the 2025 PICCASO Awards Europe. Both are vendor-claimed recognitions; the PICCASO shortlist is independently confirmed on the awards body's own site.

Market positioning nuanceSource: keepabl.com

Keepabl was named the exclusive approved Privacy Management Software for LOCS:23, a UK ICO-approved certification scheme (under Article 42 UK GDPR) for legal service providers and their vendors/solution partners, run by scheme owner 2twenty4 Consulting. This is a vendor-published claim (dated around February 2024) and gives Keepabl a distinct vertical foothold in the UK legal sector not reflected in the current comparison page.

Review signalSource: capterra.co.uk

As of mid-2026, Keepabl's Capterra UK rating of 4.7/5 is based on only 3 reviews (ease of use 4.7, customer support 5.0, value for money 4.7, features 4.7, 100% likelihood-to-recommend), and its G2 rating of 4.4/5 is based on 15 reviews. The existing page states both averages but not the underlying review counts, which are relevant context for how much weight to give a small third-party sample.

Recent developmentSource: tracxn.com

No funding rounds, acquisitions, security incidents, or leadership changes were found for Keepabl in 2025-2026; the company's last reported funding was a seed round in March 2024 ($314K total raised across two rounds per Crunchbase-sourced aggregation), and headcount is reported at around 7 employees as of January 2026.

08Ireland & UK

Keepabl vs Acompli for RoPA in Ireland and the UK

Keepabl is London-based and built for the EU/UK market, and Acompli is Dublin-based, so for an Irish or UK team the deciding question is the depth of the Article 30 record. Records of processing are required under GDPR Article 30 - a controller record under Article 30(1) and a processor record under Article 30(2); the Irish DPC and the UK ICO each publish Article 30 documentation guidance. Keepabl's international RoPA produces both controller and processor Article 30 outputs at one click.

For both Keepabl and Acompli, buyers should ask to see entity-scoped exports, reviewer history, source evidence and how EU GDPR and UK GDPR records are separated in practice.

EU GDPR Article 30(1) and Article 30(2) controller and processor records.
UK GDPR Article 30 documentation and ICO guidance fit.
Irish DPC accountability expectations and exportable evidence for each legal entity.

09Shortlisting notes

When Keepabl belongs on the shortlist

Keepabl should remain on the shortlist when its published market lane, product strengths and buyer fit match the requirement.

Acompli should be evaluated only where its own workflow coverage matches the requirement; this page is intended to show overlap and gaps, not to force a universal replacement narrative.

Shortlist Keepabl when its quick-start framework, KPI dashboard, policy pack and multi-tenant consultant model match the programme you want to run.
Shortlist Acompli when the main problem is keeping evidence, assessments, RoPA, suppliers and risk decisions connected and defensible after approval.
Ask each supplier to demonstrate the same workflow using current product screens, exports, review history and implementation assumptions.

Acompli answers

Acompli as a Keepabl alternative

Who are Keepabl's competitors?

Keepabl's competitors in privacy management include OneTrust, PrivacyEngine, TrustArc and Osano, alongside other GDPR and compliance platforms. Acompli competes as a focused, privacy-native alternative for Ireland, UK and EU teams that want connected, evidence-traceable RoPA, DPIA, risk, vendor and AI-governance records with human approval, rather than a quick-start framework with a packaged policy library.

Is Acompli a good Keepabl alternative?

Acompli is a strong Keepabl alternative when the priority is a defensible, assessment-fed record rather than fast out-of-the-box readiness. RoPA, DPIA, DSAR, risk and vendor records are connected, confidence-scored, human-approved and exportable for the DPC or ICO. Keepabl remains the better fit if you specifically want its KPI dashboard, its 30-plus document policy pack, a training module, or a multi-tenant account for running several client organisations.

Does Acompli replace Keepabl?

Acompli can replace Keepabl for the core privacy-operations workflows - RoPA, DPIA, privacy risk, vendor records, data mapping and EU AI Act governance - for many teams. It does not ship Keepabl's packaged Privacy Policy Pack or its training module, and it is not built as a multi-tenant consultant tool; teams that rely on those keep them alongside Acompli.

How do Keepabl and Acompli differ?

Keepabl is a friendly, KPI-led GDPR framework that is fast to adopt and ships a ready-made policy pack, with a multi-tenant model for consultants and MSPs. Acompli is narrower and deeper on governed records: assessment-fed Article 30 records, data mapping, AI-Act governance and code-scan evidence, each traceable to its source and human-approved, with a self-contained per-entity export for the DPC or ICO.

Does Keepabl publish pricing, and does Acompli?

Keepabl publishes its pricing structure - two plan families (Governance and Governance Plus) tiered by total headcount (Small, Medium, Large, Enterprise), in GBP, USD or EUR, billed monthly or annually with a 14-day trial - but the actual per-tier numbers are shown via a demo or sales contact rather than listed on the page. Acompli prices on its compliance estate — data controllers, legal entities, jurisdictions and integrations — never per seat, and provides pricing on request, because the effort scales with the programme rather than the number of logins.

What is the best Keepabl alternative for Irish and UK privacy teams?

The best Keepabl alternative for Irish and UK privacy teams is one built around GDPR Article 30 coverage, DPC and ICO fit, and a self-contained per-entity export. Acompli is built around exactly those - both Article 30(1) and 30(2) records, EU and UK GDPR distinguished on one register, and an export the DPC or ICO can read without a platform login - the provenance wedge a quick-start framework does not foreground.

Does Keepabl have an EU AI Act or AI governance module?

Keepabl lets you track where you use AI within your data map and publishes EU AI Act guidance, so it helps you see and discuss AI usage. It does not foreground a governed AI-system risk register with EU AI Act risk classification and per-system approval. Acompli's AI governance module supports EU AI Act risk classification, assessment-driven AI system records and human approval of each AI system entry, with the record traceable to its evidence source. Teams that need an auditable AI system register rather than AI-usage visibility and reference guidance will find Acompli the closer fit for Article 6 and Annex III risk classification work.

Is Keepabl a good fit for consultants and MSPs?

Yes - Keepabl is multi-tenanted and explicitly markets to DPOs, consultants and MSPs, letting one account list multiple client organisations and add departments within each. That is a genuine strength if you run privacy for several organisations. Acompli is built around governed, per-entity records and a self-contained DPC/ICO export per legal entity, which suits in-house teams and corporate groups that need a defensible evidence trail more than a multi-client portfolio view.

Does Keepabl handle data subject rights (DSAR) and breaches?

Yes. Keepabl's Rights & FOI module provides customisable intake forms, a default assignee and approver workflow, a searchable and downloadable Rights Log, and immutable PDF copies of submissions. Its Breach module guides the breach process and includes auto-discovery features. Acompli does not currently package a dedicated rights-request or breach/incident module; its focus is the connected assessment, RoPA, risk and vendor record behind them.

What does Keepabl include that Acompli does not?

Keepabl includes a 30-plus document Privacy Policy Pack (policies, notices, procedures and a DPA checklist), a built-in training module, a breach/incident module with auto-discovery, a KPI-led dashboard and a multi-tenant consultant/MSP model. Acompli does not ship a packaged policy library, a training module or a breach module. Acompli's focus is provenance and continuity: assessment-fed records, human approval, a governed AI-system register, code-scan evidence and a self-contained per-entity export for the DPC or ICO.
