Vornin vs HostedScan: an honest comparison

Both offer self-serve paid plans with public pricing. Choose Vornin when EU data residency, code and cloud coverage, NIS2 or DORA mapping, and audit evidence need to sit in one workflow. Choose HostedScan when Nessus Agent endpoint coverage or its commercial scanner add-ons matter more.

The decision in six rows

The meaningful differences are which surfaces enter the workflow, where the data sits, and what evidence remains after remediation.

Vornin and HostedScan at a glance
Criterion Vornin HostedScan
Data residency EU-hosted US-hosted[1]
Scan surfaces Network, web, API, DNS and SSL, code, dependencies, secrets, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud posture Network, web, API, ports, SSL, attack-surface, and template scanning; no native code scanning[2]
Compliance mapping Nine frameworks including NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 support; no NIS2 or DORA mapping documented[2]
Remediation and evidence Persistent finding lifecycle and tamper-evident history on all tiers; Team adds evidence vault and tenant audit log; Business adds SLA auto-escalation and audit evidence packs Vulnerability management on all tiers; no SLA enforcement, escalation, or tamper-evident audit pack documented[2]
Internal scanning Network-position scanning through an on-premise or DMZ agent; no endpoint agent Premium adds network-position OpenVAS; Professional adds Nessus Professional and Nessus Agents for endpoint-position coverage[2]
Closest paid comparison Team at €129/month for five targets Premium at $179/month for five targets[2]

Choose by the constraint you cannot compromise

Choose Vornin if

  • EU data residency is a procurement requirement.
  • Web, infrastructure, code, and cloud findings must join one workflow.
  • NIS2 or DORA mapping and audit evidence belong in the vulnerability workflow.

Choose HostedScan if

  • You need endpoint-position scanning through Nessus Agents.
  • You want HostedScan's Greenbone Enterprise or Rapid7 add-ons.
  • A $79 entry plan covering external network, web, API, SSL, ports, and attack-surface scanning fits the current scope.

Three differences that matter

EU data residency and compliance evidence

HostedScan is US-hosted. Vornin is EU-hosted and maps findings to NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and six other frameworks. Finding history is tamper-evident on every tier. On Business and Scale, the same finding record produces period-scoped evidence packs. That difference matters when the buying trigger is an audit, customer questionnaire, or EU data-residency review.

Surface breadth versus endpoint depth

Vornin carries web, infrastructure, code, and cloud findings into one lifecycle. HostedScan Professional goes further on endpoint-position internal coverage through Nessus Agents. Vornin does not have an endpoint agent. Choose based on whether cross-surface consolidation or endpoint depth is the harder requirement.

Where capability is gated

HostedScan gates authenticated web scans and internal network scanning at Premium, then SAML, workspace controls, white-label reports, and commercial Nessus coverage at Professional. Vornin includes all scanner engines on every paid plan and gates operational automation, audit artefacts, governance, and enterprise identity features as plans rise. Compare the gate that affects your workflow, not the lowest card price.

HostedScan comparison FAQ

Is Vornin a HostedScan alternative?

Yes. Vornin is a HostedScan alternative for teams that want self-serve vulnerability management with public pricing, broader code and cloud coverage, EU data residency, and NIS2 or DORA evidence. HostedScan remains the stronger option when Nessus Agent endpoint coverage or its commercial scanner add-ons are required.

What is the main difference between Vornin and HostedScan?

The main difference is what surrounds the scanners. Vornin combines EU hosting, multi-surface findings, compliance mapping, remediation controls, and audit evidence in one record. HostedScan focuses on self-serve network and web vulnerability management, with commercial Tenable coverage available at Professional.

When is HostedScan better than Vornin?

HostedScan is better when endpoint-position scanning through Nessus Agents is mandatory, when its Greenbone Enterprise or Rapid7 add-ons match the environment, or when the $79 Basic scope covers everything the team needs.
