Why Boutique Teams Choose LeanSec
Built from first principles for software developers who hate enterprise compliance bloat.
Agencies don't need continuous automated background monitoring when their client deliverables and core repo infrastructure stay consistent. Pay once and keep lifetime access.
Export clean, version-controlled Markdown policies straight into your company's `security/` repository on GitHub or GitLab.
Turn incoming enterprise security questionnaires around in 5 minutes instead of delaying client contract closures by two weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Drata necessary for an agency to pass ISO 27001 or SOC 2?
No. Accredited auditors require documented policies, enforced controls, an active risk register, and evidence of implementation. Drata is an automated tool, not a certification requirement.
Can I customize the policies generated by LeanSec?
Yes. Every policy can be edited directly in the built-in split-pane Markdown editor with live preview before exporting as a ZIP bundle or individual Markdown files.
