How are you tracking compliance with evidence under 50 people??? I keep seeing tools like Vanta, Drata and OneTrust but they are to expensive for under 200+ people companies For a 30 people shop what do you do when you need to show a client/ auditor something A spreadsheet/ shared drive/ a consultant Genuinely curious
“The question to ask is - where are you spending too much time, and then see what would actually help with saving time on that.

“If you mainly need a structured way to track controls, evidence, documents, owners, due dates and status, PHPRunner could be used to build a much smaller internal compliance application around that process. It wouldn't automatically collect evidence from every external system the way platforms like Vanta do, but if that isn't the part you need, it may be worth a look. I'm the author, so obviou”

“I work at Insight Assurance, disclosure there, since we perform assessments across a few frameworks and see this exact situation a lot with smaller orgs. Spreadsheet/shared drive is genuinely common at that size, and it's not automatically a problem, what actually matters to an auditor isn't the tool, it's whether the evidence is organized, consistent, and traceable over time. A well-maintained”
