Vanta and Drata are self-serve compliance platforms: they provide dashboards, automated evidence collection, and framework templates, but your team does the interpretation and preparation work. Probo includes a hands-on service where their team handles the entire compliance journey. Probo is also open-source with no vendor lock-in. The tradeoff is that Probo likely costs more and has less self-serve flexibility.
Probo has scaled to 100 clients but is still a Y Combinator-stage company. Large enterprises with existing GRC teams may find the hands-on service model redundant since they already have compliance expertise. The open-source framework could be valuable for enterprises wanting customizable tooling, but the service component is best suited for companies under 500 employees without dedicated compliance staff.
Yes. The platform is open-source on GitHub (getprobo/probo). You can deploy it self-hosted and use the policy templates, control mappings, and evidence collection features without engaging Probo's service team. You miss the hands-on guidance but retain the tooling.
Probo claims 50% faster than traditional methods, targeting 6-12 weeks for SOC 2 Type I versus the typical 3-6 months with a traditional consultant and audit firm. Actual timelines depend on your starting security posture, scope complexity, and how quickly your team responds to requirements.
