Compliance management software that keeps you audit-ready
Complies tracks your obligations, maps your controls to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR, and collects the evidence, so a 20-person team can walk into an audit prepared without hiring a compliance lead.

Evidence syncs from the stack you already run
Compliance lands on someone whose job it is not
A customer asks for SOC 2. A deal stalls in security review. Suddenly an engineer is keeping a spreadsheet of controls, chasing screenshots, and hoping nothing expired.

Complies Growth, all frameworks
Everything an audit asks of you, in one place
Four surfaces, one system. Every scroll of a framework PDF becomes a row with an owner, a due date, and a status.
One obligation tracker
Every requirement from every framework in one place, with an owner and a due date. Nothing lives in a spreadsheet tab nobody reopens, and the compliance calendar tells you what is due before it is late.
compliance tracking software →
Controls mapped once, reused across frameworks
Your access control policy satisfies SOC 2 CC6.1, ISO 27001 A.5.15, and GDPR Art. 32 at the same time. Do SOC 2 now, add ISO 27001 later, and start at 61% instead of zero.
control mapping software →
Evidence collected and owned
Screenshots, exports, and policies collected on a schedule, tied to controls, with named owners. The 120 engineer-hours an audit cycle usually eats get tracked, delegated, and reused.
compliance evidence collection →
A readiness score anyone can read
One number per framework, live, with the gap list behind it. Your board, your customers, and your engineers all see the same honest picture of where you stand.

From "are we compliant?" to a number you can stand behind
Three steps. The long version, with what happens under the hood, is on the compliance automation page.
Connect your stack and pick your frameworks
Point Complies at the tools you already run: AWS, GitHub, Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, your HR system. Pick SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI DSS. Complies builds your obligation tracker and control map from what it finds, in minutes.
Complies maps controls and flags the gaps
Every control gets a framework code, an owner, and a status. One control satisfies many frameworks at once, so SOC 2 work pre-fills ISO 27001. Gaps are flagged in plain language before the auditor finds them, with what to do next.
Collect evidence and watch readiness climb
Evidence items stream in with owners and due dates, reusable across frameworks and audit cycles. The readiness score shows exactly where you stand, and the export pack hands your auditor everything in one organized bundle.
For the founder who owns the risk
You do not need a compliance department. You need the audit passed and the deal unblocked. Put your own numbers in and see what the alternatives cost.
- 01 A compliance hire runs $120,000+ a year, and good ones are hard to hire.
- 02 A consultant runway is $15,000 to $40,000 per audit, then they leave with the context.
- 03 The enterprise deal stalled in security review costs more than both. Ask your pipeline.

You could also do this with Vanta. Here is the difference.
The incumbents are excellent products sold to funded startups on annual contracts. The difference is the motion, and the price.
| What matters | Vanta / Drata / Secureframe | Complies |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Quote-only, typically $5,000 to $25,000+ a year | Published on the site, from $79 a month |
| Contract | Annual, sales-led | Monthly available, cancel anytime |
| Time to start | Demo call, procurement, onboarding weeks | Self-serve, mapped in minutes |
| Frameworks | Often gated by tier | All frameworks cross-mapped from Growth up |
| Who it fits | Funded startups and up; built for scale | 5 to 200 person teams without a compliance hire |
"We are too small for this."
Small is when it is cheap to fix. The first security questionnaire will not wait for your headcount.
"Our engineers can track this in a spreadsheet."
They can, for a while. Spreadsheets do not chase owners, expire evidence, or cross-map frameworks.
"Will this pass the audit for us?"
No tool can promise that, and you should distrust any that does. Complies gets you ready; your auditor decides.

"We answered a 200-question security questionnaire in an afternoon. Before Complies that was two weeks of pinging engineers for screenshots."

The questions buyers actually ask
No and yes. Complies assists with compliance workflows: it tracks obligations, maps controls, collects evidence, and shows you where you stand. It is not legal advice, it does not certify you, and it does not replace your auditor. For SOC 2 an accredited CPA firm issues the report, and Complies gets you ready for that audit with everything organized when the auditor arrives.
Because Complies is self-serve. The incumbents run sales teams, demo calls, and annual contracts, and their prices reflect that motion. Our prices are on the pricing page, you can pay monthly, and you start the same day. Growth at $199 a month is $2,388 a year, which is roughly a fifth to a tenth of a typical Vanta or Drata year.
It depends on your gaps, and anyone who promises a fixed number before seeing your stack is guessing. What Complies gives you from day one is a readiness score and a ranked gap list, so "how long" becomes a work plan you can staff instead of a mystery. Teams starting from a reasonable security baseline commonly reach SOC 2 Type 1 readiness in 6 to 12 weeks of part-time work.
You add the framework and your existing controls cross-map automatically. Most SOC 2 controls satisfy ISO 27001 requirements too, so your ISO readiness score starts pre-filled, typically around 60 percent, instead of at zero. Evidence you already collected is reused wherever the second framework accepts it. That cross-mapping is included in every plan from Growth up.
A compliance product has to model good compliance. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based and logged, you can export or delete everything on request, and our subprocessor list is published on the security page. We offer a DPA on the Enterprise tier and answer security reviews as part of procurement.
All of them, including what compliance management is in the first place, on the FAQ page.
