Your startup is probably failing GDPR and doesn’t know it — so I built a free checker

Description and use

Small teams lack a practical, free tool to assess GDPR and SOC 2 readiness. AutoCompliance is a free CLI that, in five minutes, evaluates 40 questions, provides grades, prioritised fixes, and starter documents, enabling quick gap closure.

Problem

Small teams lack a practical, free tool to assess GDPR and SOC 2 readiness, leading to uncertainty and potential compliance failures.

Outcome

The tool enables a 5‑minute, local assessment that identifies compliance gaps, prioritizes actions, and produces foundational documents, reducing reliance on costly consultants.

Workflow

• Install the tool via pip: pip install autocompliance autocompliance assess --company "Your Co"
• Answer 40 yes/no questions covering GDPR (22) and SOC 2 (18)
• Receive grades A–F per framework and control area
• Review a prioritized fix list
• Generate 15 starter documents (privacy policy, DPA, RoPA, etc.) in Markdown, HTML, or PDF

Evidence

I built AutoCompliance — an open‑source CLI (MIT, pure Python, zero dependencies, runs 100% locally)

Source

It asks 40 yes/no questions — 22 GDPR, 18 SOC 2 — and then: Grades you A–F, gives a prioritized fix list, generates 15 starter documents

Source

No account. No telemetry. Nothing leaves your machine. The whole assessment takes about five minutes.
