SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

SOC 2 Evidence Packs for Security Consultants

Dated, auditor-ready SOC 2 evidence packs for fractional CISOs, no screenshots.

An IT manager lost half a day proving disk encryption for one client. This tool builds dated SOC 2 evidence packs, no screenshots.

Free Prowler already collects M365, Workspace and GitHub evidence; clients must trust a new vendor with account tokens.

In their words

Spent 3 days compiling evidence for an audit because closure proof was scattered everywhere. Is this just how it is?

r/SafetyProfessionals on Reddit

pulling clean evidence out of all of it is a week of screenshots that still look like a patchwork

r/AskNetsec on Reddit

it's a huge pain grabbing screenshots for what feels like a very performative process

The tools that already cover it

  • Cynomi: Built for virtual CISOs and managed IT firms with a multi-client view; lists Microsoft Secure Score, AWS and scanner feeds, not Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or GitHub.
  • Apptega: Serves managed IT firms and consulting firms across 30+ frameworks including SOC 2 and ISO 27001; its site does not show which evidence sources it connects.
  • Prowler: Scans Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and GitHub and has a multi-tenant partner program for managed IT firms.
  • Microsoft 365 Lighthouse: Multi-client device compliance views for Microsoft resellers; Microsoft only, not dated auditor packs.
  • Maester: Interactive HTML reports for Microsoft 365 and Entra security tests; no Google Workspace, GitHub or multi-client packs.
  • Vanta: Service provider console exists, but each client runs inside Vanta's own paid platform.
  • Scrut: Multi-client partner portal and cheapest big name; clients still need a Scrut platform and partners earn from referral or resale.
  • Secureframe: Service and reseller partner tracks, but each client needs its own platform.
  • Comp AI: Cheap and open per-company platform; no consultant multi-client pack found.

How it was challenged

  • The hook is a misread. The Scrut commenter says Scrut maps evidence and manual screenshots make a tool useless; nobody there is complaining about Scrut.
  • Demand is mostly off-wedge. About 23 of 127 posts concern SOC 2 style evidence, only 2 are daily, 6 look like sellers, and the sole fractional CISO is advertising services.
  • Rivals already sit here. Prowler (free) scans Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and GitHub and courts managed IT firms; Lighthouse is free for Microsoft partners; Cynomi claims 68% less evidence time.
  • Consultants likely earn from platform partner programs (Scrut cites referrals and resale; Secureframe lists reseller partners), so a rival tool competes with their own revenue.
  • Trust is the real gate. Clients must give a brand-new vendor read access to their company accounts, and a vault of client tokens is a breach target buyers will question.

The pain point it solves: Manual Compliance Evidence

Teams across many roles waste hours manually collecting, tracking, and proving compliance evidence across scattered systems and frameworks.

Why those fall short

  • digital tools just moved forms to PDFs, adding admin without automating data
  • no single workspace for users, actions, deadlines and collaboration
  • documents are scattered and hard to assemble for a legal claim
  • older SDKs lack SBOM support; no package manager for CMake projects; no telemetry for exploitation awareness
  • notices arrive by mail and across many state websites
