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.

Is Lumoar SOC2 compliant?

Thanks for asking! We’re not SOC 2 compliant yet, but we’re actively preparing for it. We recently launched our MVP, and ensuring strong security and compliance has been a key part of our roadmap from day one. We’re happy to share more about how we handle security today if that’s helpful!

My point was that compliance is about trust. If I want to go the SOC2 or ISO27001 route, I want a company that has done it before.

Free in your case is not free, it's pretty expensive. If I can't comply in time, that might mean losing potential business, being late to the market, etc.

Good luck though, you made the first step.

The point about trust is important in another way too - it was a pleasant surprise you led with “we’re not compliant (yet), but..”

Tis a great way to engender trust in the team. Bravo for bravely answering honestly. Wishing you folks best of success.
