Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is Openlane?
Openlane is affordable, transparent, developer-friendly compliance automation. We make compliance simple so you can actually ship code.
Who is Openlane for?
Openlane is optimized for growing teams. Our modular system and pricing are ideal for founders and developers in early-stage companies who don’t want to close deals and enter new markets -who need SOC 2 (or NIST, ISO27001, and more) without the tears.
How is Openlane different?
We’re open-source with transparent pricing. No black boxes, no vendor lock-in, no “surprise” upcharges. Just compliance that plays nice.

Features

Which frameworks do you support?
We're starting with SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and NIST 800-53, the greatest door-openers and deal-closers for growing companies. Don't see what you are looking for? We also support custom frameworks and can onboard new frameworks to our platform in days - instead of months.
Does it connect to my tools?
Yes. We can connect to GitHub, Slack, and more. If your developers live in it, we probably plug into it - and if webhooks and API keys don't get you there, we can build together in the open.
Can I customize?
Absolutely. Think of our templates like IKEA furniture - you can follow the instructions or hack it into something cooler.
What’s “continuous compliance”?
Instead of panicking once a year, you’re audit-ready every day. Like brushing your teeth, but for security.
Do I have to do continuous compliance to use Openlane?
Of course not! Openlane is configurable to your level of automation and comfort. The truth is, some evidence is just easier to pull manually and drop into a portal -you're not stuck in a rigid environment with us.

Security & Data

Is my data secure?
Yes. Encrypted, isolated, and guarded like your own dragon hoard.
What if I leave?
We won’t make it awkward. Download your data and any evidence from our system and go along on your journey.

Pricing & Access

Is it really open-source?
Yep. Fork it, run it, star it. Pay us to make your lives easier and get access to licensed frameworks.
Do I need a credit card to start?
Nope. We’re not that clingy. Use our 30-day free trial to confirm we're a good fit, and stick with us for the long haul.
How fast can I onboard?
Hours. If it takes longer, ping us —we’ll race you.

Audits

Will it help me pass SOC 2?
Yes. We automate the evidence so you can spend less time sweating and more time drilling into and solving your customers pain points.
Can I share with my auditor?
Absolutely -and they would prefer it! Export it, send them a link, or let them poke around directly —you have granular control over what they see.

Support

Do you offer support?
Yep. Access free help from our community on discord, or contact us to talk about a paid plan if you want us on speed dial.
Is there a community?
Yes, and they’re as tired of compliance theater as you are. Come join the movement!
