What's the USP over something like Vanta/Drata (aside the cost being much lower currently)?

The big difference is context-awareness. Vanta/Drata give you templates and checklists. Humadroid starts by understanding your company - what you actually do, how you operate, your tech stack.

From there, the AI generates policies that are yours, not generic docs with [COMPANY NAME] placeholders. Same with control descriptions - they're specific and actionable for your setup, not "implement access control" with no context. It also identifies risks based on what you actually do and helps build business continuity plans around your real critical processes.

You still review everything (it's compliance, not magic), but you're editing 80% done work instead of staring at a blank template wondering where to start.

The price difference is real too, but honestly that's a side effect of being early and solo - not the core value prop.
