After 3 weeks of building, I'm launching Compliance Copilot — an AI-powered SOC2 + EU AI Act compliance assistant for micro-SaaS startups.
🔥 Stripe LIVE: accepting payments at $49/mo. No waitlist. No sales calls. Just sign up and go.
The problem: Vanta/Drata charge $12K-20K/year for SOC2. And with the EU AI Act Article 50 coming into force on August 2nd (10 days from now!), every AI-powered product serving EU users needs transparency disclosures. That's two compliance burdens at once.
How Compliance Copilot helps:
• AI generates 30+ SOC2 policies (info sec, BCP, access control...)
• EU AI Act risk-tier classification + transparency requirements
• Gap analysis against SOC2 + AI Act requirements
• Evidence collection and auditor-ready reports
• Built-in control monitoring
Pricing: $9/mo Founders Plan (first 20 founders, locked in forever) — normally $49/mo.
I bootstrapped this after realizing enterprise compliance tools are priced for enterprises ($12K+), not for the 3-person startup trying to close their first enterprise deal or avoid EU fines.
Built with Next.js + Stripe + Railway. Ship fast, iterate faster.
Would love feedback from the IH community — what's your SOC2 or EU AI Act story? Overpaying for Vanta too? Worried about the August 2nd deadline?
I'm curious what convinced you founders see compliance as something they want to manage continuously rather than simply get over the line once.
Was there a pattern that suggested ongoing guidance is more valuable than helping them reach their first audit or regulatory milestone?
