AuditBadger

AuditBadger is my favorite kind of compliance tool: one that admits most GRC software is overkill. Built specifically for small and mid-sized teams who just got handed a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 requirement and have no idea where to start, AuditBadger turns a terrifying compliance mandate into a clear, manageable to-do list. No compliance department required. No black box AI making decisions you cannot see. The product uses artificial intelligence to prepare first drafts of your policies, controls, and SOC 2 System Description in minutes instead of weeks, and it tailors everything to your actual company and tech stack rather than generic boilerplate templates. You review and approve every single decision before anything 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 full audit trail. It integrates with AWS, GitHub, GCP, Google Workspace, and more. The best part? When you get stuck, the founders are one message away. Not a chatbot. Not a ticket queue. Real humans who run their 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 to know.

AI Compliance Assistant

This is the feature that saves you weeks of staring at a blank page. The AI generates control descriptions you can hand to an auditor with a straight face, drafts policies based on your actual tech stack and practices rather than generic boilerplate, and suggests evidence for each control so you know exactly what done looks like. It also maps policies to controls across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 automatically and builds your SOC 2 system description in hours instead of a lost week. Nothing enters your compliance record without your review and approval.

Controls and Policies Workspace

A single organized home for the boring but critical work auditors keep asking to see. You can track implementation across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks simultaneously, draft and manage policy versions, and collect acknowledgments from your team. The workspace includes versioning so you never lose track of changes, and every control and sub-control is clearly laid out with assessment workflows and change tracking built right in.

Evidence and Assessments Module

Evidence collection is where most compliance efforts fall apart, and AuditBadger fixes this elegantly. You attach evidence in multiple formats, link it directly to the controls it proves, run assessments, document findings, and export everything when the auditor asks. No more hunting through Slack messages or Notion pages for screenshots. The linked evidence system means your auditor sees exactly what they need, organized exactly how they expect it.

Risk, Vendor, and Incident Management

A complete risk register, vendor review workflows, security incident tracking, corrective action management, and business continuity planning all live in the same compliance context. This means you are not juggling five different spreadsheets or tools. Every risk assessment ties back to your controls, every vendor review feeds into your compliance posture, and every incident gets documented with the audit trail your auditor will want to see.

First-Time SOC 2 Compliance for a Startup

You just closed a deal with an enterprise customer who demands SOC 2 certification, and you have zero compliance experience. AuditBadger gives you a clear to-do list from day one. The AI drafts your initial policies based on your tech stack, suggests evidence for each control, and the founders walk you through onboarding in about 30 minutes. You go from zero to audit-ready in weeks, not months, without hiring a compliance team or paying a consultant thousands of dollars.

ISO 27001 Implementation for a Mid-Sized Team

ISO 27001 feels enormous when you are staring at a 200-row spreadsheet handed over by a consultant. AuditBadger breaks it down into manageable tasks with owners and statuses. The AI maps your existing policies to ISO controls, identifies gaps, and drafts the missing documentation. Your team reviews and approves each piece, and the workspace keeps everything organized for the external auditor. You get structure without the consultant price tag.

Dual SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Compliance

Some customers require SOC 2, others demand ISO 27001, and you need both without doubling your workload. AuditBadger lets you track implementation across both frameworks simultaneously. The AI maps policies to controls for both standards automatically, so you write documentation once and use it for both audits. The workspace shows you exactly where you stand on each framework, and evidence you collect for one control often satisfies the other.

Ongoing Compliance Maintenance and Evidence Collection

Compliance is not a one-time project. After your initial audit, you need to keep collecting evidence, running assessments, and managing risks. AuditBadger handles the ongoing work with automated evidence collection from your integrated tools like AWS, GitHub, and Google Workspace. The risk register stays current, vendor reviews happen on schedule, and the audit trail keeps growing. You stay compliant without a full-time compliance person watching everything.

How is AuditBadger different from other GRC tools?

Most GRC tools are built for companies that already have a compliance team with dedicated staff. AuditBadger is built for the rest of us small and mid-sized teams who just got handed a compliance requirement. The AI prepares first drafts tailored to your actual company and tech stack, not generic templates. You review and approve every decision. And when you get stuck, the founders are one message away not a chatbot or a ticket queue.

Do I need any compliance experience to use AuditBadger?

No, and that is the whole point. AuditBadger turns SOC 2 and ISO 27001 into a clear to-do list for your team. The AI handles the heavy lifting of drafting policies, control descriptions, and evidence suggestions. Onboarding with the founding team is included, and they walk you through the entire setup in about 30 minutes. You just need to review and approve what the AI produces.

What integrations does AuditBadger support?

AuditBadger integrates with AWS, GitHub, GCP, Google Workspace, and more. These integrations allow you to connect the tools where your evidence already lives, so you are not manually uploading screenshots or exporting logs. The product automatically pulls evidence from your connected services and links it to the appropriate controls, saving you hours of busywork.

Can I use AuditBadger for both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 at the same time?

Yes, absolutely. AuditBadger includes pre-configured frameworks for both SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and you can work on both simultaneously. The AI maps policies to controls across both standards automatically, so documentation you create for one often satisfies the other. The workspace shows your progress on each framework independently, and evidence collected for one control can be linked to both standards.

AuditBadger offers one flat price of $250 per month. This includes unlimited users, no per-user fees, no module upsells, and no surprises. Onboarding with the founding team is included in your subscription. You get the full product with all features: AI compliance assistant, controls and policies workspace, evidence and assessments module, risk and vendor management, incident management, business continuity planning, asset tracking, and a full audit trail. There are no hidden costs or tiered plans to navigate.
