Comp AI is an open-source, agentic compliance platform. AI agents collect evidence from 500+ integrations, generate policies from your business context, monitor your cloud infrastructure, and run penetration tests - all continuously and automatically. Trusted by 600+ companies for SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.

Is Comp AI open source?

Yes, 100%. You can inspect every line of code on GitHub. Full transparency, no vendor lock-in, no black boxes.

What is the money-back guarantee?

If you're not satisfied with the platform during your first year, we'll refund your subscription fees. The guarantee is about platform satisfaction, not audit outcomes.

How does evidence collection work?

AI agents connect to your existing systems through 500+ integrations - cloud providers, HR systems, payment processors, engineering tools, and more. They automatically take screenshots, pull documents, and aggregate compliance evidence in real-time so nothing goes stale.

How are policies generated?

AI agents gather information about your business, how you operate, your technology stack, and risk tolerance to generate policies tailored to your specific needs - not pre-slotted templates. You review and approve every policy before it goes live.

How long does it take to get audit-ready?

Timelines vary by framework and company complexity. On average, our customers become audit-ready for SOC 2 Type I in around 10 days, but this depends on your existing security posture and how quickly your team engages.

Can I bring my own auditor?

Yes. Comp AI is auditor-agnostic. You can work with any accredited auditor of your choice. We get you audit-ready with organized evidence, controls, and policies so any auditor can step in and verify.

Does Comp AI generate the audit report?

No. The auditor generates and uploads the audit report. Comp AI prepares you for the audit by organizing evidence, controls, and policies - but the independent auditor conducts the audit and produces the report.

What is HIPAA compliance and why is it important?

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance refers to meeting federal requirements for protecting patient health information. It is important because it protects patient privacy, establishes trust in healthcare organizations, and avoids severe penalties-fines can range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums up to $1.5 million per violation category.

What are the main components of HIPAA compliance?

HIPAA has three main rules: The Privacy Rule (governs use and disclosure of PHI), the Security Rule (requires safeguards for ePHI including administrative, physical, and technical controls), and the Breach Notification Rule (mandates notification procedures when PHI is compromised). Additionally, the Enforcement Rule establishes investigation and penalty procedures.

Who needs to comply with HIPAA?

HIPAA applies to covered entities (healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses) and their business associates (vendors handling PHI on their behalf). This includes hospitals, clinics, insurance companies, pharmacies, EHR vendors, cloud service providers, billing companies, and any organization that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI.

What is the difference between PHI and ePHI?

PHI (Protected Health Information) is any health information that can identify an individual and relates to their health condition, treatment, or payment. ePHI (electronic PHI) is PHI that is created, stored, transmitted, or received electronically. The Security Rule specifically addresses ePHI protection with technical safeguards.

What are the HIPAA administrative safeguards?

Administrative safeguards include: security management processes (risk analysis, risk management), assigned security responsibility, workforce security, information access management, security awareness training, security incident procedures, contingency planning, evaluation, and business associate contracts. These form the foundation of a HIPAA compliance program.

What are the HIPAA physical safeguards?

Physical safeguards protect the physical access to ePHI and include: facility access controls (contingency operations, facility security plan, access control and validation, maintenance records), workstation use policies, workstation security, and device and media controls (disposal, media re-use, accountability, data backup and storage).

What are the HIPAA technical safeguards?

Technical safeguards are technology controls protecting ePHI: access controls (unique user identification, emergency access procedure, automatic logoff, encryption), audit controls, integrity controls (mechanism to authenticate ePHI), person or entity authentication, and transmission security (integrity controls, encryption).

What is required in a HIPAA risk analysis?

A HIPAA risk analysis must: identify all ePHI and where it is stored/transmitted, identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, assess current security measures, determine likelihood and impact of threats, assign risk levels, and document findings. Risk analysis must be conducted regularly and whenever significant changes occur.

What is a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?

A BAA is a contract required between covered entities and business associates that handle PHI. It must specify permitted uses and disclosures, require appropriate safeguards, require breach reporting, mandate subcontractor compliance, authorize termination for violations, and require return or destruction of PHI upon termination.

What are HIPAA breach notification requirements?

When a breach of unsecured PHI occurs, covered entities must: notify affected individuals within 60 days, notify HHS (immediately for breaches affecting 500+ individuals, annually for smaller breaches), and notify media for breaches affecting 500+ residents of a state. Business associates must notify covered entities of breaches.

What is the HIPAA minimum necessary standard?

The minimum necessary standard requires covered entities to limit PHI use, disclosure, and requests to the minimum amount necessary to accomplish the intended purpose. This applies to most uses and disclosures but has exceptions for treatment purposes, disclosures to the individual, and certain other situations.

How do I train employees on HIPAA compliance?

HIPAA requires workforce training on policies and procedures. Training should cover: what PHI is and how to protect it, security policies and procedures, recognizing and reporting security incidents, sanctions for violations, and role-specific responsibilities. Training must occur upon hire and periodically thereafter, with documentation retained.

What documentation is required for HIPAA compliance?

Required documentation includes: written policies and procedures, risk analyses, security incident records, workforce training records, BAAs with business associates, contingency plans, device and media records, audit logs, and documentation of all required evaluations. Most documentation must be retained for six years.

How often should HIPAA compliance be reviewed?

HIPAA requires ongoing compliance maintenance. Conduct risk analyses annually or when significant changes occur, review policies and procedures regularly, perform periodic security evaluations, conduct regular workforce training, and continuously monitor for security incidents. Document all review activities.

What are common HIPAA violations to avoid?

Common violations include: failing to conduct risk analyses, lack of encryption on portable devices, unauthorized access by employees, improper PHI disposal, failure to execute BAAs, inadequate access controls, delayed breach notifications, insufficient training, and lack of audit trails. Regular audits help identify and correct issues.
