Built from real SOC 2 experience, not a textbook
We went through SOC 2 compliance at a startup. We saw what worked, what didn't, and what was missing. Then we built the tool we wished existed.
Why we built SimpleAudit
When we needed SOC 2 for enterprise sales, we found two options: hire a $15k+ consultant or buy a $10k+/year platform built for 500-person companies with dedicated security teams.
Neither made sense for a small team where the CTO wears the CISO hat. The enterprise tools required connecting 10-50 integrations, installing endpoint agents, and weeks of technical setup before we could even start writing policies.
We spent months writing policies from scratch, filling out spreadsheets, and piecing together compliance from blog posts and templates. It was painful, expensive, and unnecessarily complex for what we actually needed.
SimpleAudit exists so no startup has to go through that again.
We built an AI that does the compliance work — generating policies from a conversation about your actual company, identifying risks based on your industry and tech stack, and tracking your readiness across every compliance area. You review and approve. The AI handles the heavy lifting.
What we believe
The principles behind how we build SimpleAudit.
AI does the work, you make the decisions
Enterprise tools automate monitoring — you still do the compliance work yourself. SimpleAudit flips that. The AI generates policies, identifies risks, discovers vendors, and builds your task plan. You review and approve.
SOC 2 depth over framework breadth
Competitors spread across 30-40+ frameworks. We focus on making SOC 2 excellent first. Every feature, every AI prompt, every workflow is designed specifically for the SOC 2 journey.
Enterprise-grade security, no shortcuts
Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Database and file storage run in Azure US regions. AI processing uses OpenAI and Anthropic APIs, which may process data outside the US. We're transparent about exactly where your data goes.
Founded in Wisconsin, built for startups everywhere
We started SimpleAudit because the existing options were built for enterprise teams with dedicated compliance staff. Startups deserve a right-sized path to SOC 2 — that means AI-native, not integration-heavy.
