Compliance & Governance Knowledge base - Humadroid

Most ISO 27001 failures happen outside security controls. The new ISMS Workbook addresses Clauses 4-10—the management requirements that compliance platforms ignore but auditors examine first.

Every compliance platform shows you status—percentages, charts, deadlines. Then leaves you to figure out what actually matters today. Your Compliance Daily is different. It's the first dashboard that tells you exactly what to work on, when, and why it matters for your certification. With themed focus days, urgency-based prioritization, and velocity tracking that warns you before you fall behind, it transforms compliance from overwhelming to manageable.

Humadroid now connects directly to AWS, GCP, GitHub, and Cloudflare to automatically collect compliance evidence. Over 50 evidence sources across four platforms, covering both SOC 2 and ISO 27001. No more manual screenshots. No more spreadsheet tracking. Your infrastructure tells its own compliance story—automatically verified against audit requirements.

First-time SOC 2 candidates face a 40-60% gap rate, with nearly half of all controls containing deficiencies that can delay certification for months or even years. A SOC 2 readiness assessment identifies these weaknesses before the official audit begins, providing organizations with a diagnostic roadmap to address compliance gaps efficiently. For small and medium-sized companies, this pre-assessment approach is one of the most effective ways to achieve SOC 2 certification with confidence while avoiding costly re-audits.

Choosing between SOC 2 Type I and Type II isn't a technical question — it's a business decision shaped by your funding stage, team size, deal pipeline, and budget. This guide gives SMB founders and CTOs a practical framework for making that call, with realistic cost breakdowns, stage-by-stage recommendations, and the ROI math that justifies the investment.

While spreadsheets seem like an easy solution for compliance management, they quickly become overwhelming as your business grows, requiring endless manual work and lacking essential features like automated reminders and audit trails. Modern compliance platforms offer the structure, automation, and scalability that spreadsheets simply can't provide, transforming compliance from a burden into a manageable process.
