Compliance certifications like SOC 2 exist to prove to customers that you actually do what your security policy says you do — access is restricted, backups run, incidents get logged. Proving it usually means someone manually screenshotting settings pages every quarter, or paying a company like Vanta a recurring fee to automate the screenshotting for you. Openlane offers a third path: the same automated evidence-collection idea, but as open-source software, so a startup that can't justify Vanta's price tag isn't stuck doing it by hand either. Openlane is an Apache 2.0-licensed, Go-based compliance automation platform supporting 12+ frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST 800-53, ISO 42001, and more). It provides policy and procedure management, a risk and vulnerability register, automated evidence collection via integrations with AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Google Workspace, Slack, Tailscale, and Entra ID, plus a public-facing Trust Center portal and role-based workflow approvals. It's available self-hosted (free) or as a managed cloud service with usage-based pricing.

Tool that automatically checks whether a company's actual systems meet security certification requirements (like SOC 2), instead of someone manually screenshotting settings for an auditor once a year.
Compliance automation tool that continuously watches a company's real systems and pulls the evidence a security auditor needs automatically, instead of a team assembling it by hand before every audit.
