As the importance of security and compliance for startups continues to grow, an increasing number of companies are seeking to achieve and maintain compliance with frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. Bubba AI, Inc. is building a comprehensive solution for these businesses, aimed at helping enterprises easily integrate compliance processes and build customized workflows through an open-source GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) automation platform alternative.
The company is positioned to meet the compliance needs of businesses from early startups to mature enterprises. Bubba AI's flagship product, Comp AI, not only provides the built-in risk registry and policies required for compliance frameworks, but also allows enterprises to build their own compliance workflows using modular tools provided by the platform.
Comp AI: A New Open-Source Compliance Choice
Comp AI is an open-source alternative to GRC automation platforms such as Vanta and Drata. The platform includes multiple key features, aimed at automating the requirements of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2:
- Built-in risk register: Help enterprises identify, record, and evaluate potential security risks.
- Ready-to-use security policies: Provides pre-set security policies for modern enterprises and is equipped with AI-driven editors for customization.
- Comprehensive supplier management suite: Used for tracking, evaluating, and filtering third-party suppliers.
- Automated evidence collection tools: Reduce the manual burden of compliance documentation.
The open-source nature of Comp AI sets it apart from existing solutions on the market, allowing enterprises to gain greater community involvement, higher customization, and lower costs during the compliance process.
The value of open-source compliance solutions
Bubba AI was founded by Lewis Carhart at the end of 2024. Carhart found that the market lacked compliance automation tools that could meet the needs of a wide range of enterprises while being cost-effective and flexible.
“While working at my previous company, I personally experienced how painful and resource-intensive the compliance process can be, especially for small businesses. Existing solutions are either expensive or lack the flexibility we need. I hope to create an open-source platform that makes compliance automation more accessible.” Carhart explained.
This experience led Carhart to develop Comp AI as an open-source alternative to help enterprises of all sizes achieve SOC 2 compliance without incurring high costs or being limited by proprietary systems.
Ambitious goals
Bubba AI has set an ambitious goal: to help 100,000 enterprises achieve compliance with cybersecurity frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR by 2032. This goal reflects the increasing importance of security certifications, especially in the context of enterprises handling sensitive customer data and facing more stringent regulatory requirements.
“We believe that strong security practices should not be a privilege of only well-funded enterprises. By providing open-source solutions, we are removing barriers to entry, allowing enterprises of all sizes and resources to build robust security systems.” Carhart said.
The company plans to build a community around its open-source platform, encouraging contributions and expansion to benefit a broader commercial ecosystem.
