AuditBadger

AuditBadger is a compliance automation platform purpose-built for small and mid-sized teams that need to achieve SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification without a dedicated compliance department. Unlike traditional GRC tools designed for enterprises with full-time compliance staff, AuditBadger transforms the complex, opaque process of security compliance into a structured, actionable to-do list. The platform leverages artificial intelligence to generate first drafts of policies, control descriptions, and the SOC 2 System Description in minutes rather than weeks, with outputs tailored to the user's actual company profile and technology stack rather than generic templates. Every AI-generated draft requires human review and approval before entering the compliance record, ensuring nothing happens inside a black box. The workspace includes pre-configured frameworks for both SOC 2 and ISO 27001, evidence collection supporting multi-format attachments, risk analysis, vendor assessments, incident management, business continuity planning, asset tracking, and a complete audit trail. AuditBadger integrates with major infrastructure and productivity platforms including AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace. A distinctive operational feature is direct access to the founding team when users encounter challenges, bypassing chatbots and ticket queues entirely. The product operates on a single flat pricing model of $250 per month with no per-user fees, no module upsells, and no hidden costs. AuditBadger is itself SOC 2 Type I certified (achieved in 2025 using only the product) with Type II in progress, providing direct proof of its effectiveness.

AI Compliance Assistant

The AI Compliance Assistant reduces blank-page work by generating contextually accurate first drafts of policies, control descriptions, and the SOC 2 System Description based on the user's specific company details and technology stack. It maps policies to controls across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks automatically and suggests appropriate evidence for each control. All AI outputs are presented as starting points that require explicit human review and approval before being committed to the compliance record, maintaining full transparency and user control throughout the drafting process.

Pre-Configured Compliance Frameworks

AuditBadger ships with fully pre-configured frameworks for both SOC 2 and ISO 27001, eliminating the need for users to manually build control mappings from scratch. Each framework includes detailed controls and sub-controls with assessment workflows, comprehensive audit trail logging, role-based access control, and change tracking. Users can implement controls across both frameworks simultaneously, with versioning support for policies and automated acknowledgment collection from team members.

Evidence Collection and Assessment Engine

The evidence management system supports multi-format attachments including documents, screenshots, log files, and configuration exports, with the ability to link each piece of evidence to the specific controls it proves. Users can run assessments directly within the platform, document findings, and export the complete evidence package in Excel format when auditors request it. The system integrates with AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace to pull evidence directly from where it already lives in the user's infrastructure.

Integrated Risk, Vendor, and Incident Management

Beyond core compliance tracking, AuditBadger includes a risk register for documenting and tracking security risks, vendor review workflows for assessing third-party security posture, incident management for security events and corrective actions, and business continuity planning tools. All of these modules operate within the same compliance context, ensuring that risk assessments, vendor reviews, and incident records are automatically linked to relevant controls and audit evidence.

First-Time SOC 2 Certification for Startup Teams

A startup with fewer than 20 employees receives a SOC 2 requirement from a prospective enterprise customer but has no compliance experience or dedicated security personnel. Using AuditBadger, the team selects the SOC 2 framework on day one, connects their existing AWS and GitHub accounts for automatic evidence collection, and begins working through the AI-generated to-do list of policy drafts, control implementations, and evidence collection tasks. The founding team provides direct walkthrough support during onboarding, and the flat pricing model avoids per-user costs that would penalize growing teams.

ISO 27001 Implementation for Mid-Sized SaaS Companies

A 50-person SaaS company needs ISO 27001 certification to expand into European markets but finds traditional consulting engagements prohibitively expensive and slow. AuditBadger provides the structured framework, risk register, and business continuity planning modules required by the standard, with AI drafting the initial Information Security Management System (ISMS) documentation. The platform's dual-framework support allows the team to align ISO 27001 controls with any existing SOC 2 work, reducing redundant effort and maintaining a single source of truth.

Compliance Maintenance for Distributed Engineering Teams

An engineering team spread across multiple time zones and using diverse tools (Google Workspace, GitHub, GCP) needs to maintain ongoing compliance evidence collection without a centralized compliance officer. AuditBadger's integrations pull evidence automatically from connected services, while role-based access control and change tracking ensure accountability even with distributed ownership. The AI assistant helps draft policy updates as the tech stack evolves, and the comprehensive audit trail provides auditors with clear evidence of continuous compliance rather than point-in-time snapshots.

Vendor Security Assessment Program for Small Procurement Teams

A small procurement team responsible for assessing third-party vendors lacks the resources to build and maintain a vendor risk management program from scratch. AuditBadger's vendor review module provides structured assessment workflows, risk scoring, and automatic linkage to compliance controls. The platform's flat pricing allows the team to assess unlimited vendors without per-assessment fees, and the AI assistant can suggest appropriate security requirements based on the vendor's service type and data access level.

AuditBadger operates on a single flat pricing model of $250 per month. This includes unlimited users, all modules (controls and policies, evidence and assessments, risks, vendors and incidents, AI compliance assistant), onboarding support, and integrations. There are no per-user fees, no module upsells, and no hidden costs. The onboarding and demo process is conducted by the founding team rather than a sales department. Users who are not ready to commit to a demo can generate free policies first by visiting the AuditBadger website.

What compliance frameworks does AuditBadger support?

AuditBadger currently supports SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks with pre-configured controls, sub-controls, and assessment workflows. Users can implement either framework individually or both simultaneously with automatic cross-mapping between controls. The AI Compliance Assistant generates framework-specific policy drafts and control descriptions tailored to the user's company profile and technology stack.

How does the AI handle policy and control drafting?

The AI Compliance Assistant generates first drafts of policies, control descriptions, and the SOC 2 System Description based on information the user provides about their company, technology stack, and existing practices. These drafts are not generic templates but are contextualized to the user's actual environment. Every AI output requires explicit human review and approval before it enters the compliance record, ensuring full transparency and user control over all compliance documentation.

What integrations are available for evidence collection?

AuditBadger integrates with AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace for automated evidence collection. The platform supports multi-format attachments including documents, screenshots, log files, and configuration exports. Users can manually upload evidence from any source, link it to specific controls, and export the complete evidence package in Excel format for auditor review.

Do I need prior compliance experience to use AuditBadger?

No prior compliance experience is necessary. AuditBadger is specifically designed for teams without a dedicated compliance department. The platform transforms the compliance process into a structured to-do list with clear tasks, owners, and status indicators. Onboarding includes a walkthrough with the founding team, and users have direct access to the founders when they encounter challenges, bypassing chatbots and ticket queues.
