Second Foundation

What it does

Second Foundation is an AI-native compliance platform built as a public interest project, making real SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance accessible to everyone. It automates risk assessments, controls, and evidence collection—focusing on substance over checkbox compliance. Free for everyone, it aims to eliminate “fake compliance” and raise the standard of trust.

  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

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
