Community-driven and automation-focused, Probo aims to simplify security compliance for growing companies
Probo is an open-source compliance platform designed for startups and small teams looking to achieve frameworks like SOC 2, GDPR, and ISO 27001 without the high cost and complexity of traditional solutions. Built with a focus on transparency, automation, and data ownership, Probo empowers teams to manage compliance on their own terms.
Unlike closed enterprise platforms, Probo gives users complete control, with smart, context-aware tools that reduce compliance overhead and accelerate implementation.
Key Features
- Fast & Focused Compliance: Build a tailored SOC 2 program in just 20 hours with relevant, streamlined controls and risk-based task prioritization.
- AI-Powered Automation: Automatically generate policies based on your tech stack and prefill vendor assessments with intelligent defaults.
- No Vendor Lock-In: Users retain full ownership of their compliance data and can export everything at any time.
- Free & Modular: Probo is free to use and only charges for optional services—no hidden costs or forced upgrades.
Developer-Friendly Setup
Probo is easy to run locally using Docker. The platform requires Go 1.21+ and Node.js 22+ and comes with clear CLI commands to launch infrastructure, build the app, and run it in development mode.
Once installed, the app is accessible at http://localhost:8080. Developers can follow setup instructions in the README.md file or refer to the Contributing Guide for more in-depth documentation.
