AuditBadger: AI-assisted SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance
What it is AuditBadger is a GRC platform for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 (2013 and 2022 editions), built for teams that don't have a compliance department and aren't going to hire one. Frameworks come pre-configured. Controls get mapped. Evidence is collected automatically from the tools you already run. Policies, risk register, vendor reviews, training and a public trust center live in the same place. The goal: audit-ready without a consultant sitting between you and your own compliance program. Who it's for Technical founders and small teams at post-seed B2B SaaS companies who just hit a forcing function - a blocked deal, an enterprise security review, an investor asking questions. You need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 soon, and you'd rather understand it than outsource it. We ran it on ourselves first AuditBadger passed SOC 2 Type I in 2025 and SOC 2 Type II (observation period March-June 2026) using only its own platform. No consultants, no compliance hire, no spreadsheets on the side. Every rough edge you'd hit, we hit first. Pricing $250/month flat. Unlimited users, every framework, every module. No per-seat fees, no "contact sales", no paywall on the parts you need at audit time. What's inside Compliance management - guided setup wizard with AI analysis of your existing policies, hierarchical controls with sub-controls and status rollup, a shared common-controls library (implement once, reuse everywhere), versioned documents with acknowledgment tracking, and Quick Wins: a ranked list of highest-impact next actions, so "93 controls, where do I start?" stops being a question. Automated evidence - 12 integrations (AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Scaleway, Cloudflare, Vercel, GitHub, Google Workspace, FleetDM, Shortcut, Linear) running 120+ checks across IAM/MFA, encryption, backups, logging, branch protection, secret scanning, WAF/TLS and device posture. Scheduled monthly, weekly for select checks, or on demand. A check that fails for a reason you accept can be formally risk-accepted instead of hidden. ISMS Workbook (ISO 27001) - Clauses 4-10 tracked requirement by requirement, Statement of Applicability with approval workflow, management reviews that can't close until every required input is addressed, security objectives, CAPA with root cause and effectiveness verification, gap analysis and an exportable auditor package. SOC 2 System Description builder - all 8 sections guided, carve-out or inclusive method, pulling real assets and vendors from data you already have. AI drafts it in minutes; you review it and own it. Risk, assets, vendors, continuity, incidents - risk register with configurable scoring and point-in-time snapshots, asset registers (physical, infrastructure, digital), vendor assessments via tokenized portal with no vendor account required, continuity plans with RTOs and exercise tracking, incident lifecycle with SLA breach detection and an anonymous reporting portal. Security training - build courses or generate them from your own policies. Completions flow straight into evidence. Trust Center - public compliance page on your own domain, three disclosure levels, granular document visibility. AI that shows its work - agentic chat plus an in-context sidebar assistant. Every change needs explicit confirmation and is fully audit-logged. No silent edits, no black box. Platform - REST API, built-in MCP server (point Claude or ChatGPT at your compliance data, scoped to each user's permissions), SSO via Google, Entra ID and Slack, custom roles, scoped partner access for external consultants, webhooks, exports to Excel, PDF and ODT, and the full product in English, Spanish, Polish, German and Dutch. Who built it Maciej - ran a software consultancy for 14 years, went through ISO 27001 in 2019, and still remembers how bad it was. AuditBadger is the tool that would have saved that year.
