Probo

Probo is a compliance automation platform built around a simple premise: most startups don't want to become compliance experts, they just need to get certified. So instead of handing you a checklist and a dashboard, Probo assigns you a dedicated compliance officer who runs your program end-to-end.

That officer handles risk assessments, vendor assessments, gap analysis, policy creation, evidence collection, and auditor communication. You join the calls that genuinely need you. Everything else gets handled in the background.

The platform supports a wide range of frameworks:

• SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 for SaaS companies selling to enterprise
• ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 for information security management
• HIPAA for healthcare and health-adjacent products
• GDPR, CCPA, FERPA for data privacy obligations
• ISO 42001 for AI-related compliance needs
• CASA, SOC 3 and others on request

Evidence collection is automated through the platform, so controls stay current without manual effort. Once you're certified, the team keeps monitoring, refreshes evidence, and updates controls so you stay audit-ready continuously, not just at renewal time.

A few things set it apart from tools like Vanta or Sprinto. First, it's open source, so there's no vendor lock-in. Second, the human layer is central, not an add-on. Customers who've used Drata or Vanta before consistently describe the difference as significant. Third, the team actively advises on which frameworks actually make sense for your business rather than pushing every certification available.

Slack is a first-class interface. You can access documents, trigger workflows, and message your compliance officer directly without switching context.

Probo is a strong fit for early-stage and growth-stage companies that need to close enterprise deals requiring security certifications but don't have the internal bandwidth to run a compliance program themselves.
