Everything you need to know about LowerPlane and compliance automation
Most companies are up and running within 24 hours. After signing up, you'll connect your integrations (AWS, Okta, GitHub, etc.), and our platform will automatically start collecting evidence. Your dedicated advisor will schedule an onboarding call within 48 hours to build your compliance roadmap.
We support SOC 2 (Type 1 and Type 2), ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, CCPA, FedRAMP, NIST CSF, CMMC, and HITRUST. Our platform maps shared controls across frameworks, allowing you to achieve multiple certifications with 85% overlapping evidence.
No technical expertise required. Our platform is designed for compliance teams, not just engineers. We provide step-by-step guidance, and your dedicated advisor helps with any technical questions. For integrations, our one-click setup works for 90% of tools.
Most companies achieve SOC 2 Type 2 readiness in 6-8 months (vs 12-18 months without automation). Type 1 can be completed in 4-6 weeks. Timeline depends on your starting point - we'll provide a personalized roadmap after your readiness assessment.
We automate evidence collection (AWS logs, access reviews, change management), policy generation from templates, control status tracking, and continuous monitoring. This eliminates 75+ hours per month of manual work. The remaining work (like security training, vendor assessments) still requires human involvement.
No, we complement your auditor. LowerPlane prepares you for the audit by organizing evidence, tracking control implementation, and ensuring you're audit-ready. We can recommend trusted auditors from our network, or work with your existing auditor. Many auditors appreciate our organized evidence collection.
Pricing starts at $1,500/month for our Starter plan (single framework, up to 50 employees). Our Growth plan is $3,500/month (multi-framework support, up to 200 employees). Enterprise plans are custom-priced. All plans include a dedicated compliance advisor and unlimited integrations.
Companies typically save $30,000-$60,000 in the first year by reducing: consulting fees (50% less), audit preparation time (75 fewer hours/month), faster time-to-certification (40% reduction), and avoiding failed audits. ROI calculator available at /resources/tools/roi-calculator.
Our standard contract is 12 months (aligned with annual audit cycles). Month-to-month plans available for $2,000/month (20% premium). We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee - if you're not satisfied within the first month, we'll refund your payment.
We support 300+ integrations including: Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), Identity (Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD), Code (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket), Security (Wiz, Snyk, Crowdstrike), SIEM (Splunk, ELK, Sentinel), HR (BambooHR, Workday), and more. New integrations added monthly.
All integrations use read-only OAuth or API keys with least-privilege access. We never request write permissions. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We're SOC 2 Type 2 certified ourselves, and undergo annual penetration testing.
We build custom integrations for Enterprise customers (typically 2-4 weeks). For missing integrations, you can manually upload evidence through our portal. Our advisor will help determine if a custom integration is necessary based on your compliance requirements.
Your advisor is a certified compliance expert (CISA, CISSP, or similar) assigned to your account. They conduct monthly strategy calls, answer questions (Slack/email), review your evidence, provide audit preparation, and guide you through the entire certification process. Think of them as your outsourced compliance team.
While we can't guarantee audit success (that's up to the auditor), we've maintained a 98% first-time pass rate. If findings occur, your advisor will help you remediate immediately. We provide audit preparation reviews 30 days before your audit to catch any issues early.
Yes! Since we track controls across all frameworks, switching is seamless. If you start with SOC 2 and add ISO 27001 later, you'll already have 85% of required evidence. Your advisor will update your roadmap and identify any additional requirements.
