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 built for organizations with dedicated compliance departments, AuditBadger transforms complex audit frameworks into a clear, actionable to-do list that your entire team can follow. The platform uses artificial intelligence to prepare first drafts of policies, controls, and SOC 2 System Descriptions in minutes rather than weeks, with every piece of content tailored to your actual company and technology stack instead of generic templates. You retain full control because nothing happens in a black box: every AI-generated draft requires your review and approval before it enters your compliance record. AuditBadger 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. The platform integrates with AWS, GitHub, GCP, Google Workspace, and other common tools where your evidence already lives. When you get stuck, the founders are one message away: no chatbots, no ticket queues, just direct access to the people who built the product. 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 from the inside out. This cyclical approach means the platform continuously improves based on real-world use, and your compliance posture iterates with every new piece of evidence and every policy update.

AI Compliance Assistant

The AI Compliance Assistant eliminates blank-page paralysis by generating first drafts of policies, control descriptions, and evidence suggestions based on your actual company details and technology stack. It writes control descriptions you can confidently hand to an auditor, suggests evidence for each control so you know what done looks like, and maps policies to controls across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 automatically. The assistant builds your SOC 2 system description in hours instead of a lost week, and every draft is a starting point that requires your review before entering the compliance record.

Controls and Policies Management

Track implementation across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks simultaneously from a single workspace. Draft new policies with AI assistance, manage version histories to see every change over time, and collect acknowledgments from team members to prove awareness and acceptance. The system organizes everything auditors ask to see in the structure they expect, with role-based access control ensuring the right people have the right permissions.

Evidence and Assessments

Attach evidence in multiple formats and link each piece directly to the controls it proves, creating a clear chain of verification that auditors can follow. Run assessments to evaluate control effectiveness, document findings with supporting artifacts, and export everything when the auditor asks for documentation. The linked evidence approach means nothing gets lost in spreadsheets or scattered across different tools.

Risks, Vendors, and Incidents

Maintain a comprehensive risk register that tracks identified risks, their likelihood and impact, and the corrective actions taken to address them. Conduct vendor reviews within the same compliance context, ensuring third-party relationships meet your security requirements. Manage security incidents with full documentation of detection, response, and remediation activities, and build business continuity plans that integrate with your compliance framework.

First-Time SOC 2 Compliance for a Startup

A startup with ten employees receives a customer request for SOC 2 certification and has no compliance experience. AuditBadger walks them through setting up in week one by picking the SOC 2 framework, importing any existing policies, generating missing ones with AI, and connecting tools like AWS and GitHub where evidence already lives. The team works through a clear to-do list where every gap becomes a task with an owner and status, and AI drafts policies and mappings that the team reviews and approves. Within weeks, they walk into the audit prepared with a structured workspace of controls, evidence, and history.

ISO 27001 Implementation for a Growing Team

A mid-sized team facing ISO 27001 feels overwhelmed by the framework's scope and complexity. AuditBadger provides structure without the 200-row spreadsheet handed over by expensive consultants. The platform maps policies to controls automatically, suggests evidence for each requirement, and manages versioning as the team iterates on their documentation. The AI compliance assistant drafts control descriptions that match the team's actual practices, not generic boilerplate, and the risk register helps them identify and address gaps before the formal audit.

Ongoing Compliance Maintenance

A company that achieved SOC 2 certification needs to maintain compliance year after year while continuing to ship product. AuditBadger supports continuous improvement by tracking changes to controls, managing evidence collection on an ongoing basis, and alerting the team when new requirements emerge. The platform integrates with their existing tools so evidence collection happens automatically, and the audit trail captures every change for the next auditor review. The flat pricing means no surprises as the team grows.

Vendor Risk Management for Small Teams

A small team needs to assess the security posture of the vendors they rely on but has no formal vendor management process. AuditBadger provides vendor review workflows within the compliance context, allowing them to document assessments, track findings, and ensure vendors meet their security requirements. The platform links vendor risks back to the overall risk register and helps the team demonstrate due diligence during their own audits.

How is AuditBadger different from other GRC tools?

Most GRC tools are designed for companies that already have a compliance team with dedicated resources and expertise. AuditBadger is built specifically for small and mid-sized teams who just received a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 requirement and have no idea where to start. The platform turns compliance into a clear to-do list with AI drafting first drafts, direct access to the founding team when you get stuck, and flat pricing without per-user fees or module upsells. The founders run their own compliance on AuditBadger, so the product is battle-tested from the inside.

What frameworks does AuditBadger support?

AuditBadger supports both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 with pre-configured frameworks that include controls, sub-controls, and assessment workflows. You can pick one framework or work on both simultaneously, and the AI automatically maps policies to controls across both standards. The platform is designed to evolve as frameworks update, and the team continuously iterates on the content based on real-world audit experience.

Do I need any compliance experience to use AuditBadger?

No. AuditBadger is designed for teams with zero compliance experience. The platform provides a clear to-do list where every gap becomes a task with an owner and status. The AI generates first drafts of policies, control descriptions, and evidence suggestions based on your actual company and tech stack. When you get stuck, the founders are one message away: not a chatbot, not a ticket queue, but direct access to the people who built the product.

How does the AI work and what control do I have?

The AI compliance assistant reduces blank-page work by drafting policies, control descriptions, and evidence suggestions tailored to your company. However, nothing enters your compliance record without your review and approval. Every draft is a starting point that you can edit, accept, or reject. The AI also maps policies to controls automatically and suggests evidence for each control, but you make the final decisions. This human-reviewed design ensures your compliance record reflects your actual practices, not generic boilerplate.

AuditBadger offers one flat price of $250 per month with no per-user fees, no module upsells, and no surprises. This single plan includes unlimited users, onboarding with the founding team, access to all features across SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks, and direct founder support. There are no hidden costs for additional modules or team members. The pricing is designed for small and mid-sized teams who need predictable costs while building and maintaining their compliance program.
