AuditBadger

AuditBadger is a compliance automation platform designed specifically for small and mid-sized teams that have been handed a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 requirement and have no prior compliance experience. Unlike traditional GRC tools that assume a dedicated compliance department, AuditBadger transforms complex audit frameworks into a clear, actionable to-do list for your engineering and operations teams. The platform uses artificial intelligence to prepare first drafts of policies, controls, and SOC 2 System Descriptions in minutes rather than weeks, with every output tailored to your actual company and technology stack rather than generic templates. You retain full control by reviewing and approving every decision before anything enters your compliance record. The workspace includes pre-configured SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks, evidence collection with multi-format attachments, risk analysis, vendor assessments, incident management, business continuity planning, asset tracking, and a complete audit trail. AuditBadger integrates with major tools including AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace to capture evidence where it already lives. The founding team provides direct support via message, not chatbots or ticket queues. AuditBadger runs its own compliance on the platform, having completed SOC 2 Type I in 2025 with Type II in progress, proving the product works for real audits.

AI Compliance Assistant

The AI compliance assistant reduces blank-page work by generating policy drafts, control descriptions, and evidence suggestions based on your actual tech stack and business practices. It explains compliance requirements in plain language and maps policies to controls across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 automatically. The system builds your SOC 2 System Description in hours instead of weeks, and every draft serves as a starting point that requires your review and approval before entering your compliance record. Nothing happens inside a black box.

Controls and Policies Management

This module provides a centralized workspace for tracking control implementation across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks simultaneously. You can draft policies, manage multiple versions, collect electronic acknowledgments from team members, and maintain a clear history of changes. The system organizes everything auditors expect to see in the structure they expect, eliminating the chaos of spreadsheets and scattered documents. Versioning ensures you always know which policy iteration is current.

Evidence Collection and Assessments

Evidence collection supports multi-format attachments linked directly to the controls they prove, eliminating the need for screenshots scattered across Slack or documents buried in Notion. You can run assessment workflows, document findings, and export complete evidence packages when your auditor requests them. The system integrates with AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace to automatically capture evidence from your existing tools. Excel export provides auditor-friendly data dumps on demand.

Risks, Vendors, and Incidents Module

This module combines risk register management, vendor security reviews, incident tracking, corrective action planning, and business continuity planning within the same compliance context. You maintain a single source of truth for all security-related activities that auditors will examine. The risk register helps you identify, assess, and track mitigation of security risks while vendor reviews ensure your third-party relationships meet compliance standards. Incident management includes documentation and corrective action workflows.

First Time SOC 2 Compliance for Startups

A startup receives a SOC 2 requirement from a major customer and has no compliance team or prior experience. AuditBadger guides the engineering lead through setting up the framework in week one, generating policy drafts based on their actual AWS and GitHub usage, and providing a clear to-do list of gaps to close. The AI drafts control descriptions and evidence suggestions, while the founding team provides direct guidance when questions arise. The team walks into the audit prepared with structured controls, linked evidence, and complete history.

ISO 27001 Implementation for Mid-Sized Teams

A mid-sized company with 50 employees needs ISO 27001 certification but finds the framework overwhelming when presented as a 200-row spreadsheet from a consultant. AuditBadger breaks the standard into manageable tasks with owners and statuses, maps existing policies to ISO requirements, and generates missing documentation. The risk assessment module helps identify and document risks systematically while vendor assessments ensure third-party compliance. The team progresses from zero to audit-ready in weeks rather than months.

Dual SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Compliance

A growing B2B SaaS company needs both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 to satisfy different customer segments. AuditBadger allows running both frameworks simultaneously within the same workspace, automatically mapping policies and controls across both standards. Evidence collected for one framework applies to the other where requirements overlap, eliminating duplicate work. The AI assistant drafts control descriptions that satisfy both standards, and the unified audit trail satisfies both auditors from a single platform.

Compliance Maintenance and Continuous Improvement

An organization that has already achieved certification needs to maintain compliance between audits and continuously improve their security posture. AuditBadger provides ongoing task management for control monitoring, evidence collection, and policy reviews. The incident management module documents security events and corrective actions while the risk register tracks evolving threats. Role-based access control ensures appropriate team members handle compliance tasks, and change tracking provides full visibility into modifications over time.

What makes AuditBadger different from traditional GRC tools?

Traditional GRC tools are built for companies that already have dedicated compliance teams with specialized knowledge. AuditBadger is designed for small and mid-sized teams who have been handed a compliance requirement without prior experience. The platform uses AI to prepare first drafts of policies and controls tailored to your actual tech stack, provides a clear to-do list instead of complex spreadsheets, and gives you direct access to the founding team for support. There are no black box decisions, per-user fees, or module upsells.

How does the AI compliance assistant work?

The AI compliance assistant generates policy drafts, control descriptions, and evidence suggestions based on your company information and connected tools. It maps policies to controls across SOC 2 and ISO 27001 automatically and builds your SOC 2 System Description in hours. Every AI output is a starting point that requires human review and approval before entering your compliance record. The AI explains compliance requirements in plain language and helps you understand what each control means for your specific situation.

What integrations does AuditBadger support?

AuditBadger integrates with major infrastructure and productivity tools including AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace. These integrations allow the platform to automatically capture evidence where it already lives in your environment, eliminating manual screenshot collection and document hunting. The evidence collection system supports multi-format attachments that can be linked directly to the controls they prove, making auditor requests straightforward to fulfill.

What support does AuditBadger provide during implementation?

When you get stuck, the founders are one message away. Support comes directly from the founding team, not a chatbot or a ticket queue. Onboarding with the founding team is included in your subscription, and they run demos and walkthroughs personally. The founders have completed their own SOC 2 Type I examination using AuditBadger and are working on Type II, giving them firsthand knowledge of the compliance process and the platform.

AuditBadger offers one flat price of $250 per month with no per-user fees, no module upsells, and no surprises. This single subscription includes unlimited users, onboarding with the founding team, and access to all features across SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks. There are no hidden costs for additional modules, extra team members, or premium support. The pricing model is designed to be predictable and accessible for small and mid-sized teams without dedicated compliance budgets.
