    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
