    Hey 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

    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.…

    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…

    I built this after watching seed-stage teams attempt SOC 2 in spreadsheets because Vanta and Drata cost $10,000–$15,000 a year before they had product-market fit. Scorifya Controls is a self-hosted SOC 2 compliance tool: - 33 automated checks across AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Azure (IAM, S3 public access, CloudTrail, MFA, branch protection, secret scanning, etc.) - 20 manual controls with evidence file uploads and structured audit notes - RFC 3161 cryptographic timestamps on every attestation, issued by DigiCert, verifiable by your CPA firm with a single OpenSSL command, without trusting Scorifya…
