Show HN: Lumoar – Free SOC 2 tool for SaaS startups

https://www.lumoar.com
47•asdxrfx•5h ago
We built Lumoar to help small SaaS teams get SOC 2-ready without paying thousands for Big 4 consultants or dealing with bloated compliance platforms.

As a startup ourselves, we faced the usual issues: long security questionnaires, confusing audit requirements, and expensive tools that felt overkill.

Lumoar is a simpler alternative: - Generate compliant SOC 2 policies automatically - Track your controls and progress in a clean dashboard - Upload evidence and get plain-language recommendations - Designed for engineers and founders, not compliance pros

It's free to start — you can generate policies and explore the dashboard without a sales call or demo.

Would love to hear what blockers you’ve faced with SOC 2 and what other frameworks you’re thinking about (e.g., ISO 27001, GDPR). All feedback is welcome.

Before providing any legal-related services, it's better to ensure that your own affairs are in compliance. At least, have a clear terms of service page [1], which is currently not available.

Good day. We apologize for our mistake. We have now fixed the link on the page so it works correctly. Thanks for pointing out
reconnecting•4h ago
IANAL, but it looks like very poor AI generated T&C.
asdxrfx•3h ago
Appreciate you flagging this. The current Terms of Use was generated using a standard terms generator we integrated into our site, so it’s not AI-generated, but we agree it still needs improvement. We’re planning to have it reviewed and refined soon to better reflect our product and responsibilities. Thanks again for keeping us sharp.
reconnecting•3h ago
Perhaps it's an acceptable approach for a very limited type of non-commercial websites, but your organization pretends to provide a platform for compliance management, and from this perspective, you must first clarify your business responsibilities and your terms of service, as this is actually a part of what your company tries to sale at scale.
edoceo•4h ago
Having the policy doesn't preclude the audit or questionnaire requirement does it? This just puts the answers in one place?

The compliance pros still want all their ceremony - it's most of what they sell.

havefunbesafe•4h ago
True, but having this makes the entire process easier. Organization is key to a speedy and clean audit.
asdxrfx•4h ago
Exactly, staying organized is half the battle. Our goal with Lumoar is to make that organization effortless from day one. We’re also working on future updates with AI agents and automation to make audits and questionnaires even less painful. More coming soon!
throw03172019•3h ago
Every “free SOC-2” platform I researched and demoed before landing on paid platform always had a catch. What is yours?
asdxrfx•3h ago
No catch. It's completely free. We plan to offer paid add-ons (like AI automation and integrations) later, but the basics stay free.
aagha•2h ago
Which paid one did you land on?
java-man•3h ago
Every website that does not explain an abbreviation before the first use is automatically non-compliant.

Thanks for pointing out. We fixed our mistake.

Trying to register and I get this in the browser console:

asdxrfx•2h ago
Hi, thanks for reaching out! The issue you encountered with the CORS policy has been fixed. You should be able to register without encountering the CORS issue anymore. If you run into any other issues, please don't hesitate to let us know!

Is Lumoar SOC2 compliant?

asdxrfx•2h ago
Thanks for asking! We’re not SOC 2 compliant yet, but we’re actively preparing for it. We recently launched our MVP, and ensuring strong security and compliance has been a key part of our roadmap from day one. We’re happy to share more about how we handle security today if that’s helpful!
Oras•2h ago
My point was that compliance is about trust. If I want to go the SOC2 or ISO27001 route, I want a company that has done it before.

Free in your case is not free, it's pretty expensive. If I can't comply in time, that might mean losing potential business, being late to the market, etc.

Good luck though, you made the first step.

asdxrfx•2h ago
We understand your concern, and we will focus more on this step for now. Thanks for the feedback. If you have anything else to say, we are glad to listen.

I see nothing wrong with this post. They're sharing something they've made and getting valuable, constructive feedback. I appreciate HN being one of few places that still happens at.

asdxrfx•1h ago
Fair to be cautious, I get it. We’re a real startup, just launched our MVP recently, and wanted to share what we’re building with the community. It’s our first time posting here, but we’re genuinely looking to get feedback and connect with others. Happy to answer any questions!
