What it does
SOC 2 audits routinely cost $10k to $200k, and most of that pays a consultant to draft the same 12 policy documents every company needs. This kit gives you those already written: 12 audit-ready policies, a 29-item gap analysis checklist, and an evidence tracker covering what auditors actually check. Fill in your details, adjust what doesn't apply, and walk into your audit with real documentation instead of a blank page. Not a certification, just a real starting point.
SOC 2 readiness kit: policies, an interactive gap analysis, and an evidence tracker, for a fraction of what an audit prep firm charges.
12 policies, a gap analysis, and an evidence tracker — the documentation a consultant would bill you thousands for, already written. You adapt it to how your company actually operates. Nobody's disputing what the auditor itself charges — the market sets that, and there's no shortcut around it. What is avoidable is paying that same order of magnitude just to have someone write your access control policy or your gap analysis from a blank page. Covers Information Security, Access Control, Acceptable Use, Data Classification, Incident Response, Change Management, Vendor Risk, Business Continuity, Risk Assessment, Passwords, Encryption, and Onboarding/Offboarding. This isn't a certification —…from soc2kit.netlify.app

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…
Fed up with compliance tools? Help us make SOC-2 OSS2025 · github.com · ▲30Hi 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.…
