AuditBadger

AuditBadger is the compliance tool that actually gets it. Most GRC platforms out there are built for Fortune 500 companies with entire departments of people whose job it is to push paper around. But what about the rest of us? You know, the startup founders, the engineering leads, the mid-market teams who just got an email from a customer saying "we need your SOC 2 report by next quarter" and suddenly your whole world is on fire. That is exactly who AuditBadger is for. It takes the soul-crushing chaos of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 and turns it into a simple, clear to-do list that your whole team can actually work through. No more staring at a blank page wondering what a "control" even means. The AI inside AuditBadger drafts your first versions of policies, control descriptions, and even your full SOC 2 System Description in minutes instead of weeks. And here is the kicker: it does all of this tailored to your actual company and your real tech stack. No generic templates that you have to manually rework for hours. You stay in the driver's seat too, because nothing gets published to your compliance record without your explicit review and approval. No black box magic, no AI making decisions behind your back. You get pre-configured frameworks for both SOC 2 and ISO 27001, evidence collection that supports multiple file formats, risk analysis, vendor assessments, incident management, business continuity planning, asset tracking, and a full audit trail that will make your auditor actually happy. AuditBadger integrates with AWS, GitHub, GCP, Google Workspace, and more. And when you inevitably get stuck, the actual founders are one message away. Not a chatbot. Not a ticket queue that disappears into the void. The humans who built the thing. It costs a flat $250 per month with no per-user fees, no module upsells, and no surprises. The best part? AuditBadger runs its own compliance on AuditBadger. They hit SOC 2 Type I in 2025 and are working on Type II using nothing but the product. If it did not work, they would be the first people to know. This is the real deal for teams who need to get audit-ready without losing their minds.

AI Compliance Assistant

This is not some gimmicky chatbot that spits out nonsense. The AI in AuditBadger is purpose-built to reduce the blank-page terror that comes with compliance. It drafts policies based on your actual tech stack and business practices, not generic boilerplate copy-pasted from a 2019 blog post. It writes control descriptions that you can hand directly to an auditor without cringing. It suggests what kind of evidence you need for each control so you finally know what "done" actually looks like. And it automatically maps your policies to controls across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks. The AI builds your SOC 2 system description in hours instead of a lost week of your life. Every single draft is just a starting point though. Nothing enters your compliance record until you personally review and hit approve.

Controls and Policies Management

This is the central nervous system of the whole operation. AuditBadger gives you one organized workspace to track implementation across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 at the same time. You can draft new policies from scratch or import the ones you already have floating around in Notion or Google Docs. The platform handles versioning so you never lose track of what changed and when. You can push policies out to your team for acknowledgment and track who has actually read them versus who just clicked the link and closed the tab. Everything is organized the way auditors expect to see it, which means less scrambling when the actual audit starts.

Evidence and Assessments Hub

Auditors love evidence more than anything else in the world. AuditBadger makes collecting and organizing that evidence actually painless. You can attach files in any format, link them directly to the specific controls they prove, and run assessments to document your findings. When your auditor inevitably asks for a specific piece of evidence, you can export everything in an Excel format that makes sense. No more digging through Slack messages from six months ago or trying to remember which screenshot proved what. The evidence is linked, organized, and ready to go. It turns the most painful part of compliance into something that takes minutes instead of hours.

Risk, Vendor, and Incident Management

Compliance is not just about having policies written down. It is about proving you actually manage risk in the real world. AuditBadger includes a full risk register where you can track, assess, and document your risk posture. You get vendor review workflows so you can assess the security of the third parties you rely on. There is incident management for tracking security events and corrective actions. And business continuity planning because auditors always ask about that and nobody ever has it ready. All of this lives in the same compliance context, so you are not jumping between five different tools trying to stitch together a coherent story for your auditor.

Startup Hitting Their First SOC 2 Requirement

You just closed a big customer deal, but the contract says you need SOC 2 Type II within six months. You have a small engineering team, no compliance background, and your current "security program" is a shared Google Drive folder with some random PDFs. AuditBadger is built exactly for this moment. You sign up, pick the SOC 2 framework, and immediately see your entire path to audit-readiness laid out as a to-do list. The AI drafts your first policies based on your tech stack. You connect GitHub and AWS to start collecting evidence automatically. Within weeks you have a structured workspace that your auditor can actually walk through. No compliance department required.

Mid-Sized Team Juggling SOC 2 and ISO 27001

Your company is growing fast and now you need both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 because different customers demand different things. Managing two frameworks manually is a nightmare of overlapping controls and duplicated work. AuditBadger lets you run both frameworks in the same workspace. It maps policies to controls across both standards automatically, so you are not writing the same policy twice. Your team works from one to-do list instead of two separate spreadsheets. The AI helps you identify where controls overlap and where you have gaps. You walk into both audits prepared, having done the work once instead of twice.

Engineering Team That Hates Compliance Paperwork

Your engineers are great at building software but they would rather delete their entire codebase than write a security policy. AuditBadger meets them where they are. The AI does the drafting, the engineers just need to review and approve. Evidence collection integrates with the tools they already use like GitHub and AWS, so they do not have to manually screenshot everything. The to-do list format is familiar and not intimidating. Instead of asking engineers to become compliance experts, you just ask them to check boxes and approve drafts. The product handles the rest.

Solo Founder or Tiny Team Getting ISO 27001

You are a solo founder or maybe a team of three and a customer wants ISO 27001. You cannot afford a consultant and you definitely cannot afford a full-time compliance person. AuditBadger is $250 a month flat with no per-user fees, so it fits your budget. The onboarding is run by the founding team, not some salesperson reading a script. The AI drafts everything so you are not spending your limited time writing policies from scratch. When you get stuck, you message the founders directly. It is the only realistic path to ISO 27001 for teams that are too small for the enterprise tools but too big to ignore compliance requirements anymore.

Do I need any compliance experience to use AuditBadger?

Absolutely not. That is literally the whole point of the product. AuditBadger is built for people who just got handed a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 requirement and have no idea where to start. The AI does the heavy lifting by drafting policies, control descriptions, and evidence suggestions. The onboarding is run by the founding team who walk you through everything step by step. You do not need a compliance background. You just need to be willing to review and approve what the AI drafts, and your team needs to collect the evidence that proves you are actually doing what you say you are doing.

How is AuditBadger different from other GRC tools?

Most GRC tools are designed for companies that already have a compliance department with dedicated staff. They are expensive, complex, and assume you know what you are doing. AuditBadger is built for the exact opposite situation. It is for small and mid-sized teams who have no compliance department and no budget for consultants. The interface is a simple to-do list instead of a confusing dashboard full of jargon. The AI drafts everything so you are not starting from scratch. The pricing is a flat $250 per month with no per-user fees or module upsells. And when you need help, you talk to the actual founders, not a support ticket system. It is compliance for the rest of us.

Can I run both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 at the same time?

Yes, absolutely. AuditBadger supports both frameworks in the same workspace. You can pick one or both when you set up. The AI automatically maps your policies and controls across both standards so you are not duplicating work. It identifies where controls overlap and where you have gaps specific to each framework. Your team works from one unified to-do list instead of trying to manage two separate compliance projects. This is a huge time saver if your customers or partners require different certifications.

What happens when I get stuck or have questions?

You message the founders directly. Not a chatbot. Not a support ticket that goes into a black hole. Not an email that gets a canned response three days later. The people who built AuditBadger are one message away and they actually respond. They run the demos, they handle the onboarding, and they answer your questions. This is not a massive company with layers of support hierarchy. It is a team that eats their own dog food by running their own compliance on the product, and they are personally invested in making sure it works for you.

AuditBadger is a flat $250 per month. That is it. No per-user fees, no module upsells, no hidden costs, no surprises. You get unlimited users across your entire team. Onboarding with the founding team is included in the price. You get access to all features including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks, AI drafting, evidence collection, risk management, vendor assessments, incident management, and everything else in the product. One price, one plan, no tiers. If you are not ready to commit, you can generate free policies first to see if the approach works for you. Start now and get audit-ready without needing a compliance department or a second mortgage.
