Openlane review

Openlane is the budget pick for startups that are comfortable with a younger product. Every module has a public price: Compliance costs $450 a month or $5,000 a year, and the Trust Center adds $300 a month or $3,000 a year. The Compliance module includes unlimited frameworks and unlimited users, and SSO, two-factor authentication and API access come with every plan, so adding ISO 27001 after SOC 2 or inviting the whole company costs nothing extra. It covers evidence, policies, vendors, risks, assets, personnel, questionnaires and auditor access. The source is on GitHub, so an engineering team can run the open-source project itself, while the managed service adds hosting, support and licensed framework content. The trade-offs are scale and depth: Openlane lists 12+ frameworks and a short set of native integrations, and it does not include an audit. Startups may qualify for discounted pricing if they ask.
