Headquarters, singular

Your compliance HQ is currently a Drive folder, a Slack DM and one very brave spreadsheet.

None of it is wrong, exactly. It is just spread across nine places, four people and two former employees. That works fine until an auditor, a customer or an incident asks a dated question — and then the search takes longer than the answer.

Unlimited users, so the whole company can be in the same place at last.

01 / The estate

A tour of where the evidence actually is

Read this and count how many you recognise. Four is normal. Six means the next audit will be an archaeology project.

/Security & Compliance/

A Drive folder with four documents, three of them called "final". Last modified by someone who left in March.

#security (private)

The real incident log, in thread form, scrolling past the retention window a little more every day.

access-review-Q2-v3.xlsx

Genuinely good work. Also a snapshot of one Tuesday, sitting on one laptop, with no trail showing who decided what.

The CTO's memory

Comprehensive, fast, and entirely undocumented. Also the single largest compliance risk in most small companies, and nobody writes it in the register.

A Notion page from 2024

Beautifully structured, quietly wrong. Describes an architecture you migrated off two quarters ago.

Your inbox

Three completed customer questionnaires that will be re-typed from scratch next quarter because nobody can find them.

The cloud console

Where the truth lives, in a form nobody can hand to an auditor without forty-five minutes of screenshots.

02 / Under one roof

What actually moves into HQ

Not a document graveyard with a nicer logo. Live objects with owners and dates, connected to the systems that already know the answer.

Controls

One set, mapped across SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR, each with an owner.

Evidence

Pulled from AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, Google Workspace, Slack and the rest on a schedule — dated, attributed, filed.

Policies

Drafted from how you work, approved by a human, acknowledged by the team, with versions you can point at.

Risks

A register an auditor can follow: what could go wrong, what you decided, who decided it.

Vendors

A subprocessor list that survives contact with reality, ready for the next buyer who asks.

Assets and access

Who has what, on which laptop, since when — the question every review opens with.

Incidents

Written while it is fresh, in the shape the report will need, instead of reconstructed from a Slack thread.

Training

Assigned, completed, recorded. The most boring control to prove and the easiest one to lose.

03 / The bus factor

What happens when the one person who knows goes on holiday

At fifteen people, compliance almost always lives in one head. That is not a character flaw, it is arithmetic. But it means a two-week holiday, a resignation or a very busy quarter can stall a deal, and nobody realises until the buyer stops replying.

A single home for this is not bureaucracy. It is the difference between "let me check with whoever set that up" and "here is the link, dated last Thursday".

Written for technical founders
Before
"Ask the CTO, they'll know"

Fast, accurate, and unavailable exactly when you need it most.

After
"It is in there, with a date"

Anyone on the team can answer, and the answer does not change depending on who you ask.

Side effect
Onboarding gets shorter

The next hire inherits a system instead of an oral tradition.

04 / Housekeeping

This page is not the headquarters either

A page about consolidation, served from a spare domain — we appreciate the irony. Humadroid was the company's first name; the compliance product became the business and took the name AuditBadger with it. We hold on to the old domains and send a little outbound mail from them, because a company whose mail all leaves through one door is a company one spam filter can switch off.

The actual headquarters is auditbadger.com. If our email was unwelcome, reply and say so — that reaches a founder, not a queue.

Nine hiding places, or one address

One flat price, unlimited users, and onboarding run by the founders — including the unglamorous part where we help you move the existing mess in.
