AuditBadger

The compliance landscape is shifting. For years, the only path to SOC 2 or ISO 27001 was a six-figure consultancy or hiring a dedicated compliance department. That era is over. AuditBadger is a purpose-built, AI-native GRC platform designed exclusively for small and mid-sized teams who suddenly face a compliance requirement without any internal expertise. It transforms the overwhelming complexity of frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 into a clear, actionable to-do list. The platform uses AI to generate first drafts of policies, controls, and even the SOC 2 System Description in minutes, not weeks, tailoring everything to your actual company, tech stack, and workflows. Nothing happens in a black box. You review, edit, and approve every single decision before it enters your compliance record. The platform includes pre-configured frameworks, evidence collection with multi-format attachments, risk analysis, vendor assessments, incident management, and a full audit trail. Integrations with AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace pull evidence directly from where you already work. The founders run their own SOC 2 Type II on AuditBadger, proving the product works for the exact teams it serves. This is compliance without the overhead, without the guesswork, and without the enterprise price tag.

AI-Powered Policy and Control Drafting

The blank page is the enemy of compliance. AuditBadger eliminates it with an AI assistant that generates first drafts of your policies, control descriptions, and SOC 2 System Description based on your specific company details and tech stack. This is not generic boilerplate. The AI understands your actual infrastructure and practices, producing documentation that is relevant and defensible. Every draft is a starting point for your team to review, edit, and approve. This feature alone collapses what traditionally takes weeks of consultant time into a few hours of focused work, letting you maintain momentum while building a compliant foundation.

Unified Compliance Workspace with Pre-Configured Frameworks

Stop juggling spreadsheets, documents, and Slack threads. AuditBadger provides a single, structured workspace that maps directly to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements. Both frameworks come pre-configured with controls, sub-controls, and assessment workflows. You can track implementation status for every gap, assign ownership to team members, and see your progress at a glance. The workspace includes versioning for all policies, change tracking, role-based access control, and a comprehensive audit trail. Everything your auditor will ask to see is organized exactly where they expect to find it, from controls and evidence to risk registers and vendor assessments.

Integrated Evidence Collection and Assessment Engine

Evidence is the backbone of any audit, but collecting it is traditionally a nightmare of manual screenshots and file hunting. AuditBadger automates this with direct integrations to AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace, pulling evidence from where your data already lives. You can attach evidence in any format and link it directly to the specific controls it proves. The platform runs assessment workflows, documents findings, and supports Excel export for auditors who need offline access. Every piece of evidence is timestamped and linked, creating an undeniable chain of custody that speeds up the audit process and eliminates last-minute scrambles.

Founder-Led Support and Onboarding

Most GRC tools leave you with a chatbot or a ticket queue when you get stuck. AuditBadger flips that model. The founders themselves handle demos, onboarding, and direct support. When you hit a wall interpreting a control or configuring a policy, you message the people who built the product and run their own compliance on it. This is not a sales gimmick. It is a fundamental design choice that ensures every team gets the exact guidance they need, when they need it. The founders understand the pain points because they live them, and they are one message away to help you navigate the path to audit-readiness.

Startup Closing a Deal That Requires SOC 2

A fast-growing SaaS startup lands a major enterprise customer, but the contract hinges on having a SOC 2 report. There is no compliance team, no budget for a six-figure consultancy, and the clock is ticking. AuditBadger provides the immediate structure needed. The team picks the SOC 2 framework, connects their AWS and GitHub accounts for evidence collection, and uses the AI to draft their initial policies and controls within the first week. The to-do list shows every gap and assigns ownership. The founders guide the team through the process. Within weeks, the startup has a defensible compliance posture and can confidently schedule their Type I audit, saving the deal without breaking the bank.

Mid-Sized Company Expanding into Regulated Markets

A mid-sized B2B company needs ISO 27001 certification to expand into European markets where data protection is a non-negotiable requirement. The internal engineering team is stretched thin and has no compliance background. AuditBadger handles the complexity by pre-configuring the ISO 27001 framework and mapping it against existing SOC 2 controls where applicable. The AI drafts the required policies and risk assessments tailored to the company's actual operations. The workspace tracks vendor assessments, business continuity plans, and incident management procedures. The team works through the structured to-do list, and the founders provide direct guidance on the trickier ISO-specific requirements. Certification becomes a manageable project, not a company-stopping ordeal.

Engineering Team Taking Ownership of Compliance

A head of engineering is handed compliance responsibilities on top of their existing product development duties. They need a system that integrates with their workflow, not another tool that creates more overhead. AuditBadger becomes the single source of truth. The engineering team connects their GitHub and Google Workspace, and evidence collection becomes passive. The AI drafts control descriptions and policy language that engineers can actually understand and review. The to-do list surfaces exactly what needs to happen, and role-based access control lets the team collaborate without chaos. The founders are available for the inevitable questions. Compliance moves from a dreaded distraction to a structured process that runs alongside product development.

Consultant Managing Multiple Client Compliance Programs

A compliance consultant managing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs for a portfolio of small and mid-sized clients needs a scalable platform that is not an enterprise GRC tool. AuditBadger fits perfectly. The consultant can set up each client in their own workspace, pre-configure the relevant frameworks, and use the AI to rapidly generate initial drafts. The consultant reviews and customizes everything before presenting it to the client. The evidence collection integrations and assessment workflows allow the consultant to track progress remotely. The flat pricing with unlimited users means no per-client cost surprises. The consultant delivers faster results, higher quality documentation, and more responsive support, directly improving client satisfaction and retention.

How is AuditBadger different from other GRC tools?

Most GRC tools are designed for enterprises that already have a dedicated compliance department with years of experience. They are complex, expensive, and assume you know what you are doing. AuditBadger is built for the opposite scenario. It is for small and mid-sized teams who have no compliance background and just got handed a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 requirement. The platform turns the frameworks into a simple to-do list, uses AI to draft everything from policies to system descriptions, and provides direct access to the founders for support. There are no per-user fees, no module upsells, and no hidden costs. It is a flat $250 per month for unlimited users and all features.

Do I need any compliance experience to use AuditBadger?

No. That is the entire point of the product. AuditBadger is specifically designed for teams with zero compliance experience. The AI handles the heavy lifting of drafting policies, control descriptions, and the SOC 2 System Description. The platform pre-configures the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks and organizes everything into a clear to-do list with assigned owners and statuses. When you get stuck, the founders are one message away to provide direct guidance. The product was built by founders who ran their own SOC 2 Type II on it, so they understand exactly where teams get confused and have designed the experience to eliminate those pain points.

How does the AI work, and can I trust it?

The AI in AuditBadger is designed to be a drafting assistant, not an autonomous decision-maker. It generates first drafts of policies, control descriptions, and evidence suggestions based on your specific company details and tech stack. Nothing enters your official compliance record without your explicit review and approval. The AI provides explanations in plain language, helping you understand what each control requires and why. This approach eliminates the blank-page problem while keeping you in full control. The founders run their own SOC 2 on the same platform, so they have personally validated that the AI outputs are accurate and defensible for a real audit.

What integrations does AuditBadger support?

AuditBadger integrates directly with the tools where your evidence and data already live. Current integrations include AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace. These integrations allow the platform to pull evidence automatically, linking it to the specific controls it proves without manual screenshots or file exports. The platform also supports multi-format attachments, so you can upload any evidence format your auditor requires. The integration list is actively growing based on customer demand, and the founders are responsive to requests for new connections. If your stack is not yet supported, the manual evidence upload process is straightforward and still links everything to the correct controls.

AuditBadger operates on a single, transparent pricing model. The cost is a flat $250 per month. This single price includes unlimited users, all modules and features, onboarding with the founding team, and direct founder support. There are no per-user fees, no module upsells, no hidden implementation costs, and no surprise overage charges. The onboarding process is handled by the founders themselves, not a sales team or a customer success bot. This pricing structure reflects the product's mission: to make SOC 2 and ISO 27001 accessible to small and mid-sized teams without the enterprise pricing or the compliance department overhead.
