Lumoar – Free SOC 2 tool for SaaS startups

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…

Lumoar is a free SOC 2 compliance tool designed for small SaaS teams and startups. It automatically generates compliant policies, tracks security controls in a dashboard, and provides recommendations based on uploaded evidence.

Users can start free without sales calls or demos.

From the sources
Lumoar helps early-stage startups to prepare for SOC 2 audit. Track evidence, risks, vendors, and assets across controls, auto-generate reports, and manage tasks. New: Automations pull evidence directly from your stack (AWS, GitHub + extensible to more), API keys enable custom workflows, and I'm personally onboarding and guiding a small number of teams 1:1 – direct founder support with no queues. If SOC 2 is blocking deals or trust, let's chat. Book a call or comment below.

Open SaaS 2.02025 · opensaas.sh · ▲438I launched Open SaaS about a year and a half ago and surprisingly it’s become one of the most popular free SaaS boilerplate starters on github (https://github.com/wasp/open-saas). After 2 years of work total, I’m pleased to launch what I’m calling “Open SaaS v2.0”. Here’s a breakdown of all the features and updates I’ve made to it over time: * New Big, Shiny Things for v2.0 * - Complete redesign with Shadcn UI for a modern and consistent look (themeability coming soon...). - Script that autogenerates an LLM-friendly version of the documentation…

Free SOC 2 Policy BuilderNov 2025 · nextcomply.ai · ▲7Hey 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…

Hey HN, I'm a bootstrap SaaS founder that trying to grow my micro SaaS. I've been doing pivot many times and this may be the last straw. I realized that marketing and sales are key in building business but cold outbound is suck! So I built a tool to help SaaS founders identify unhappy customers from their competitors to pitch their SaaS. This feature is specifically requested by Peer - Cal.com CEO from my interaction with him here - https://x.com/heykaiyo/status/1821216800610382013 I hope this small tool would be helpful. Would love your feedback pls. Anyone…

Tapflow 2.0▲1,125We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
