Vibe coding has changed everything. We can all create amazing apps in just a few days/weeks with tools and platforms like Cursor, Replit & v0 - but if someone (you?) creates an amazing app that saves healthcare workers several hours a week, or fixes a process for a bank, you can't easily sell it to them. The first thing you'll be asked for is "are you compliant with HIPAA?" or "are you compliant with SOC 2?" - and unfortunately, most solutions for this are incredibly expensive - upwards of $25,000 a year sometimes! We set out to change compliance, forever. We want to help 100,000 companies get compliant with cyber security frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001 & GDPR by 2030 and I'm excited to say that with this ProductHunt launch, we're officially launched!

@lewisbuildsai Hi Lewis, congrats on the launch! Love the concept. Never knew this was a thing until now.
One quick note: your homepage might not be doing justice to what you’ve built. I help founders optimize messaging to improve conversions + investor interest.

Want me to send a quick homepage clarity audit? Free, just helpful feedback. No BS, No fluff

Can’t wait to work with a big client and they tell me ”you have to take part of our compliance work, but don’t worry – Comp AI is amazing!” Huge congrats on the launch @lewisbuildsai 🙌

@eliasstravik thank you sir, appreciate the support king

Congrats on the launch. What’s the estimated total cost (excluding time) of getting SOC 2 with the help of Comp AI?

Lewis Carhart

@uladzislau_rasliak we're open source, so you can self host it - we're working out how to best monetize our cloud hosted version right now :)

Uladzislau Rasliak

@lewisbuildsai thanks. I was referring to the realistic costs of obtaining SOC 2. I assume someone will have to verify whatever is reported - at least. Sorry, not an expert in security. :)

Lewis Carhart

@uladzislau_rasliak gotchu! The audit itself from a 3rd party can cost anywhere from $1500-10,000 (depending on who you choose). It really depends on the complexity / scope :)

Uladzislau Rasliak

@lewisbuildsai thanks, appreciated. Now I guess you have an idea for monetization. 😄

Wish you good luck with the launch, Lewis and the team.

Have you already reached out so possible clients or this is the very first public launch and presence of the project? :)

Lewis Carhart

@busmark_w_nika first public launch, but we have ~3000 companies on our waitlist!

Nika

@lewisbuildsai I keep my fingers crossed for you! :)

Anthony Green
This is honestly going to be game changer for startups, we will be able to save so much money and be able to accelerate working with larger organizations earlier!
Lewis Carhart

@anthony_green2 compliance for everyone!

AJ Chadha

This is so useful.


I can see a ton of companies using this!


It’s outrageous how much compliance solutions normally charge.


Well done

Lewis Carhart

@ajchadha thanks AJ, we agree - it's time to lower the barrier of entry so anyone can get compliant!

CompAI is going to stir up the compliance and security area for sure. For too long, over-priced products have taken the lead. Congrats on the launch @lewisbuildsai and team! We're excited over at Sorry™ to use CompAI to help us with compliance with SOC2 and ISO 💪

Lewis Carhart

@niccoates thank you so much! can't wait to help you guys get compliant

Simon

Awesome to see this launch on Product Hunt, congrats!

Been watching the progress on this project and the team nailed it. Definitely a gap here - the compliance space has been stuck with overpriced and long-winded solutions for way too long. Love seeing an open source alternative shake things up! 🚀

Lewis Carhart

@socodemaker thanks for all of your support Simon, appreciate it! <3

Yared

Looks Promising, I'll give it a try soon.

Lewis Carhart

Lewis Carhart

@taniabell thanks for your support! we'll have a commercially hosted platform people can use instead of self hosting

Tania Bell

@lewisbuildsai cool. look forward to it

Lewis Carhart

lets gooo

@thomasjamesio

Everyone needs this. Congrats on the launch!

Tristan ROTH

Why paying 50K a year for the big guys when you can have a platform that does the same things and enables you to sell to enterprise clients? CompAI is a game-changer, open-source is definitely a+!

Lewis Carhart

@tristan_roth we're gonna make it!

Katya Fuentes

Congrats on the launch!! 👏 Comp AI to the moon!

This looks sick - kudos guys!

I've been watching you build this from nothing to game-changer! It's absolutely going to open doors for a lot of startups and smaller businesses - compliance is something that is too often a barrier to landing those bigger enterprise clients. Can't wait to put this to good use and scale on our end as well, many gracious thanks for taking the risk on building this.

It's mind-numbing how much other platforms are charging for this!


Good luck with this launch and the road ahead!

Lewis Carhart

@fedjabosnic thanks for all of your support over these last few months! appreciate it king

Nick Smith

Congrat Lewis & team — this is absolutely huge. Anyone building product for mid-market/enterprise customers knows the pains here... the existing solutions are prohibitively expensive, making it basically a catch-22 for early stage start-ups to try and fumble. Such a fan of what you guys are building, can't wait to use it

Michael Vavilov

Guys, you are doing something incredibly important. Congrats on your launch!

Lewis Carhart

@michael_vavilov thank you, michael!

You're launching this exactly when I was looking for alternatives to Vanta, sprinto etc. I just lost 3 enterprise customers last month due to SOC2.

Hope CompAI can help me make the product compliant as a solopreneur!

​Comp AI's open-source platform for automating compliance with frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR is impressive. How does it ensure the accuracy of automated evidence collection from integrations with services like AWS and GitHub?

Jonas Urbonas

Wow, this is such a game-changing solution! It’s amazing how you’re taking something as daunting as compliance and making it accessible for everyone—no more paying insane fees just to stay compliant! What’s been the most surprising part of the journey so far in making this all possible for companies?

Sam @CRANQ

Let's go Lewis & team - Great to see this here & at the top of the leaderboard!!

Not quite at the point where I need this yet but if I do, you can be sure I'll be hitting COMP AI big time :)

Best of luck today!
