We built Lumoar to help small SaaS teams get SOC 2-ready without paying thousands for Big 4 consultants or dealing with bloated compliance platforms.

As a startup ourselves, we faced the usual issues: long security questionnaires, confusing audit requirements, and expensive tools that felt overkill.

Lumoar is a simpler alternative: - Generate compliant SOC 2 policies automatically - Track your controls and progress in a clean dashboard - Upload evidence and get plain-language recommendations - Designed for engineers and founders, not compliance pros

It's free to start — you can generate policies and explore the dashboard without a sales call or demo.

Would love to hear what blockers you’ve faced with SOC 2 and what other frameworks you’re thinking about (e.g., ISO 27001, GDPR). All feedback is welcome.

Having the policy doesn't preclude the audit or questionnaire requirement does it? This just puts the answers in one place?

The compliance pros still want all their ceremony - it's most of what they sell.

True, but having this makes the entire process easier. Organization is key to a speedy and clean audit.

Exactly, staying organized is half the battle. Our goal with Lumoar is to make that organization effortless from day one. We’re also working on future updates with AI agents and automation to make audits and questionnaires even less painful. More coming soon!

You can usually get out of questionnaires if you have multiple frameworks/certifications/attestations in place ... but even then some customers will insist on them
