AuditBadger

AuditBadger is a compliance management platform built specifically for small and mid-sized teams that need to achieve SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification without a dedicated compliance department. Most governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) tools assume you already have compliance professionals on staff. AuditBadger takes a different approach. It turns complex compliance frameworks into a clear, actionable to-do list that any team can follow. The platform uses artificial intelligence to prepare first drafts of your policies, controls, and SOC 2 System Description in minutes, not weeks. These drafts are tailored to your actual company and your specific technology stack, not generic templates that require hours of editing. You retain full control over every decision. Nothing happens in a black box. You review, approve, and modify every piece of content before it enters your compliance record. The platform 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 common tools like AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace. The founding team runs their own compliance on AuditBadger. They achieved SOC 2 Type I in 2025 and are working toward Type II using nothing but the product. If the platform did not work, they would be the first to know.

AI Policy and Control Drafting

The AI compliance assistant reduces blank-page work by generating first drafts of your policies, control descriptions, and SOC 2 System Description. It analyzes your actual company context and technology stack to produce tailored content, not generic boilerplate. The AI suggests evidence for each control so you know exactly what proof looks like. It maps policies to controls across both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 automatically. Every draft is a starting point for your review. Nothing enters your compliance record without your approval.

Pre-Configured Compliance Frameworks

AuditBadger comes with fully built SOC 2 and ISO 27001 frameworks ready to use. You pick one or both frameworks when you start. The platform maps every control, sub-control, and requirement into a structured workspace. Your team can track implementation status across both frameworks simultaneously. Versioning is built in so you can see how policies and controls evolve over time. The frameworks follow the actual audit standards auditors expect to see.

Evidence Collection and Assessment Workflows

The platform centralizes evidence collection with support for multiple file formats and attachments. You link each piece of evidence directly to the controls it proves. Assessment workflows let you run evaluations, document findings, and track corrective actions. When your auditor asks for documentation, you can export everything in an organized Excel format. The audit trail captures every change, approval, and action taken throughout the compliance process.

Integrated Risk, Vendor, and Incident Management

AuditBadger includes a complete risk register where you can document, assess, and track risks in the same compliance context. Vendor review workflows let you evaluate third-party security posture and maintain records for auditor review. Incident management tracks security events, root causes, and corrective actions. Business continuity planning tools help you document recovery procedures and testing. Asset tracking keeps an inventory of systems, data, and resources relevant to your compliance scope.

Achieving SOC 2 Certification for the First Time

A startup receives a customer request for SOC 2 certification and has no existing compliance program. The team signs up for AuditBadger, picks the SOC 2 framework, and connects their AWS and GitHub accounts. The AI drafts their initial policies and control descriptions based on their actual technology stack. The team works through the to-do list, assigning tasks to owners and tracking progress. Within weeks, they have a structured workspace with evidence linked to controls. They walk into their audit prepared with everything the auditor needs.

Implementing ISO 27001 for a Growing Company

A mid-sized company decides to pursue ISO 27001 certification but finds the standard overwhelming. They have policies scattered across Notion and Google Docs. AuditBadger imports their existing policies and generates the ones they are missing. The platform maps every ISO 27001 control to their current practices. The team uses the risk register to document their risk assessment and treatment plan. Vendor assessments and incident management workflows keep everything organized. The founders provide direct support when the team gets stuck on specific requirements.

Managing Dual SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Compliance

A company needs both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications to serve different customer segments. AuditBadger lets them run both frameworks in the same workspace. The AI maps policies to controls across both standards, showing where requirements overlap and where they differ. The team collects evidence once and links it to the relevant controls in each framework. Versioning tracks changes made for each certification separately. The unified workspace reduces duplication of effort and keeps everything audit-ready for both standards.

Ongoing Compliance Maintenance and Monitoring

A company has already achieved SOC 2 certification but needs to maintain compliance year after year. AuditBadger provides continuous monitoring with role-based access control and change tracking. New employees receive policy acknowledgments through the platform. The team runs periodic assessments to check control effectiveness. Evidence collection happens automatically through integrations with their existing tools. When the next audit cycle begins, the workspace already contains updated policies, current evidence, and a complete history of changes.

How is AuditBadger different from other GRC tools?

Most GRC tools are designed for companies that already have a compliance department. AuditBadger is built for small and mid-sized teams with no compliance background. The AI drafts policies and controls tailored to your company and technology stack, not generic templates. The platform turns complex frameworks into a simple to-do list with assigned owners and status tracking. The founding team provides direct support when you get stuck. There are no per-user fees, no module upsells, and no hidden costs.

Do I need compliance experience to use AuditBadger?

No. AuditBadger is designed for teams who have no idea where to start with SOC 2 or ISO 27001. The platform guides you step by step from zero to audit-ready. The AI drafts your initial policies and control descriptions. Every gap becomes a task with an owner and a status. Onboarding with the founding team is included in your subscription. When you get stuck, the founders are one message away. They are not a chatbot or a ticket queue.

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

The AI reduces blank-page work by generating first drafts of policies, control descriptions, and your SOC 2 System Description. These drafts are based on your actual company context and technology stack. You review every draft before it enters your compliance record. You can edit, modify, or reject anything the AI produces. Nothing happens in a black box. The AI suggests evidence for each control and maps policies across frameworks, but you make the final decisions.

What integrations does AuditBadger support?

AuditBadger integrates with common tools where evidence already lives. Current integrations include AWS, GitHub, GCP, and Google Workspace. These integrations let you collect evidence automatically from your existing infrastructure. The platform supports multi-format attachments for evidence that cannot be collected automatically. The integration list continues to grow based on customer needs. If you need a specific integration, you can discuss it with the founding team during onboarding.
