Hi HN! We're open-sourcing our collection of SOC 2 controls as the first step in building an open source compliance automation platform. Github: https://github.com/getprobo/probo The current SOC 2 experience: 1. Pay a random $10k+ for compliance software 2. Get hundreds of tasks with no context on what's optional and how much time it will take 3. Realize you need to pay an external auditor 4. End up with checkboxes, not better security Why we think open source matters: - Never speak with a sales guy who doesn’t understand your needs. - You should never pay for templates.…

Comp AI▲612Hey HN, We’re the founders of Comp AI (https://github.com/trycompai/comp), an open source alternative to Drata & Vanta. Our goal is to help 100,000 companies get compliant with frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR over the next five years. To support that goal, we’re trying to make the platform as self serve as possible - so founders who’ve never been through the process can start to get compliant at any stage. Any feedback is appreciated

We built Lumoar to help small SaaS teams get SOC 2-ready without paying thousands for Big 4 consultants or dealing with bloated compliance platforms. As a startup ourselves, we faced the usual issues: long security questionnaires, confusing audit requirements, and expensive tools that felt overkill. Lumoar is a simpler alternative: - Generate compliant SOC 2 policies automatically - Track your controls and progress in a clean dashboard - Upload evidence and get plain-language recommendations - Designed for engineers and founders, not compliance pros It's free to start — you can generate…

Hey HN, I’ve been helping small SaaS teams get through SOC 2 / ISO 27001. Every “policy builder” I tried (10+ of them) spat out generic stuff that auditors basically shrugged at (same as if you asked ChatGPT). So I ended up building my own tool. Nothing magical — just a lot of research, plus layering in the right context (implementation controls, company specifics, testing conditions, etc.). The outcome: three companies I worked with recently passed SOC 2 Type 2, and the auditors actually called out the policies as well-structured and clear. You can also try and generate any policies in…

Dear HN community! Looking forward to hearing your feedback on ACE (assured confidential execution), technology that implements VM-based trusted execution environment (TEE) for embedded RISC-V systems with focus on a formally verified and auditable firmware. We target high-assurance systems that can benefit from compartmentalization and hardware-backed isolation. The key ingredient called security monitor (firmware) is implemented in Rust. The formal specification is defined as annotations directly in code and gets translated to Coq using RefinedRust automation. ACE design is now part of the…
