AuditBadger

Hi, Wanted to share something I've been working on for over a year. AuditBadger is a compliance management platform that uses AI to write policies (there are underlying "templates" with basic requirements), rewrite controls (or trust service criterions) to match the company context, help figure out your own controls, does initial risk assessment, and business continuity planning (which at least gives you an example of how the process should look like). Fun fact - I wanted to share this a year ago, but then I spotted something similar here. The most common comment was about lacking the SOC 2…

AuditBadger launched on July 28, 2026 with 19 votes, #902 of 24,623 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches.

What it does

An enterprise prospect asked for your SOC 2 report. Now what? AuditBadger helps technical founders get SOC 2 and ISO 27001 ready without consultants. AI drafts policies tailored to your actual tech stack, you track controls, collect evidence, and walk into the audit knowing your own system. We ate our own cooking: AuditBadger passed its own SOC 2 Type II audit using nothing but the product itself. Flat $250/month, no per-user fees, no sales call. Sign up and start today.

Our own SOC 2® Type II examination, completed on AuditBadger with zero consultants. An ordered to-do list, evidence from your own stack, founders on Slack. Formerly Humadroid.

AuditBadger turns SOC 2 and ISO 27001 into an ordered to-do list and collects evidence from AWS, GitHub, and Google Workspace on a schedule. Founder-led onboarding, a shared Slack channel, and regular check-ins help you keep moving alongside your day job. Demos and onboarding are run by the founding team, not a sales department. Here is what 'one message away' actually means . Not ready to talk? Generate free policies first. It usually starts with a deal on the line and a spreadsheet that was never meant to carry an audit. Now you have to prove security, not just promise it in a sales call. Policies in Notion. Screenshots in Slack. Ownership in someone's head. You need structure, not a…from auditbadger.com

    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…

    I started using Claude Code (claude --dangerously-skip-permissions) and Codex (codex --yolo) and realized I had no reliable way to know what they actually did. The agent's own output tells you a story, but it's the agent's story. logira records exec, file, and network events at the OS level via eBPF, scoped per run. Events are saved locally in JSONL and SQLite. It ships with default detection rules for credential access, persistence changes, suspicious exec patterns, and more. Observe-only – it never blocks. https://github.com/melonattacker/logira

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
