Your SOC 2 audit is in 60 days and you have a spreadsheet with 200 controls, half of which have no evidence attached. Every framework (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR) uses different language for overlapping requirements, and tracking what's done versus what's missing is a nightmare.

Who it's for: compliance managers preparing for audits, CTOs at startups pursuing SOC 2, security teams maintaining multiple framework certifications, GRC analysts tracking controls, founders whose enterprise customers require compliance

Example

"Track our SOC 2 and GDPR compliance readiness" → Control inventory mapped across frameworks, gap analysis showing 47 controls met and 18 missing, evidence collection checklist, and an audit-readiness dashboard with a clear path to completion

# Compliance Tracker

Help track compliance requirements, prepare for audits, and maintain regulatory readiness.

## Common Frameworks

| Framework | Focus | Key Requirements |
|-----------|-------|-----------------|
| SOC 2 | Service organizations | Security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy |
| ISO 27001 | Information security | Risk assessment, security controls, continuous improvement |
| GDPR | Data privacy (EU) | Consent, data rights, breach notification, DPO |
| HIPAA | Healthcare data (US) | PHI protection, access controls, audit trails |
| PCI DSS | Payment card data | Encryption, access control, vulnerability management |

## Compliance Tracking Components

### Control Inventory
- Map controls to framework requirements
- Document control owners and evidence
- Track control effectiveness

### Audit Calendar
- Upcoming audit dates and deadlines
- Evidence collection timelines
- Remediation deadlines

### Evidence Management
- What evidence is needed for each control
- Where evidence is stored
- When evidence was last collected

### Gap Analysis
- Requirements vs. current state
- Prioritized remediation plan
- Timeline to compliance

## Output

Produce compliance status dashboards, gap analyses, audit prep checklists, and evidence collection plans.

Say: "Run a SOC 2 gap analysis for our current controls"


Supported Frameworks

Framework Focus Key Requirements
SOC 2 Service organizations Security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy
ISO 27001 Information security Risk assessment, security controls, continuous improvement
GDPR Data privacy (EU) Consent, data rights, breach notification, DPO
HIPAA Healthcare data (US) PHI protection, access controls, audit trails
PCI DSS Payment card data Encryption, access control, vulnerability management

What Gets Tracked

  • Control Inventory — Controls mapped to framework requirements with owners and evidence
  • Audit Calendar — Upcoming dates, evidence collection timelines, remediation deadlines
  • Evidence Management — What's needed, where it's stored, when last collected
  • Gap Analysis — Requirements vs. current state with prioritized remediation

Example Prompts

"Run a SOC 2 gap analysis for our current controls"
"What evidence do we need to collect before our ISO 27001 audit?"
"Create a compliance dashboard for our GDPR readiness"
"Which controls are missing or expired?"
