❤️ The reason I built AiAuditBuddy

Why We Built AiAuditBuddy: A Smarter Way to Get Audit-Ready

When you’ve lived through dozens of audits yourself — ISO 27001, TISAX, NIS 2 — you know exactly where the pain really sits.
It’s not the frameworks. It’s not the auditors. It’s the preparation.

The long hours spent matching evidence, filling catalogs, chasing down documents, and trying to figure out what’s still missing.
Every audit starts with good intentions  and ends in a maze of Excel sheets, email threads, and half-finished templates.

I’ve done that work for years inside a DAX enterprise environment, under the highest security and compliance standards.
And every single time, the same thought came back to me:
“There has to be a better way.”

The Moment That Sparked It

That idea became a reality just a few months ago, when together with an incredible team of developers and advisors   Stephen Cefali Mateo Starcevic Filipovic BrightDock Pioneer Dev AI , — we started building AiAuditBuddy.

We didn’t want to create yet another compliance dashboard.
We wanted to build a true AI-powered audit readiness tool  one designed for the people who actually do the work.

Because let’s be honest: audit prep today is either painfully manual or painfully expensive.
You either spend weeks filling spreadsheets and guessing what goes where, or you pay for over-engineered platforms that promise automation but deliver frustration.

Filling the Gap Between Manual Work and Overpriced Tools

That’s the gap we wanted to close.
We built AiAuditBuddy for the real world  for consultants, startups, and security teams who need to prepare for ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS 2, or TISAX efficiently, without wasting months or budget.

Our goal wasn’t to build the biggest compliance suite.
It was to build the most usable one.

With AiAuditBuddy, you can:

• Upload any checklist or catalog  ISO 27001, SOC 2, TISAX, NIS 2, or a custom one.

• Add your existing evidence: policies, screenshots, contracts, logs.

• Let AI automatically match each file to the correct control.

• Get guided explanations on what’s missing and why.

• Stay continuously audit-ready with automatic expiry tracking.

In other words, it’s audit readiness  simplified and accelerated.

Built With Security and Trust at the Core

One of the first decisions we made was about data protection.
If we were going to use AI for compliance, it had to meet the same standards we help others achieve.

That’s why AiAuditBuddy runs 100% in AWS Frankfurt, under full GDPR-grade data protection.
No data leaves the EU.
No AI model is trained on user data.
No hidden analytics or background tracking.

Your evidence stays yours  private, encrypted, and auditable at all times.
We designed AiAuditBuddy to be safer than most on-prem setups, with transparent controls and a security model that aligns with ISO 27001 itself.

Making Audit Readiness Accessible to Everyone

We also wanted AiAuditBuddy to be accessible — not just for large enterprises, but for everyone who touches compliance work.
That’s why we’re launching it with a 14-day free trial and an introductory discount period during our early access phase.

Whether you’re a consultant managing multiple clients, a startup preparing for your first certification, or a growing team maintaining compliance maturity, AiAuditBuddy gives you everything you need to get audit-ready instantly.

We built this product for the real people behind the process.
For those who stay up late collecting evidence, mapping controls, and making sure every requirement is met.

A Personal Mission

For me, this project is deeply personal.
I’ve lived the frustration of audit season the endless updates, the documentation chaos, the scramble before certification deadlines.
And I’ve always believed that technology, when built with empathy, can make this process not only faster but genuinely better.

With AiAuditBuddy, I truly believe we can help people save time, stress, and money, while reaching even higher levels of audit quality and trust.

Our goal is simple:
To make audits faster, easier, and more human again.
To give back time to the people who make compliance possible and help them focus on what really matters: security, transparency, and growth.

If along the way we help you grow your business, build trust with your customers, and sleep better at night that’s the best part of it all.
