Free cloud compliance tools

Each tool shows its full answer on the page. Nothing asks for an email address to reveal a result, and the field underneath buys only the written version.

A first cloud compliance project turns on a handful of questions: how far the account is from an audit, whether the data has to stay in Canada, who should hold the keys, how much evidence collects itself, and what it all costs. There is a free tool for each.

Which one first?

1. If a customer asked where data lives, start with the residency checker.
2. If a customer asked for SOC 2 or ISO 27001, run the readiness score, then the cost estimator.
3. If you are deciding on tooling, the coverage estimator says whether a paid platform changes the picture.
4. If a contract mentions encryption keys, the key management decider.

The same questions are covered in longer form on the checklist and the roadmap.

Why nothing is gated

Every result appears in full on the page. The email field under each tool sends a written copy you can forward to a founder, a board or a customer. It is optional, and nothing on the page depends on it. If you want quotes, each result links to the quote form with your answers already filled in, so firms see your scope without another round of questions.

How accurate are the numbers?

The cost estimator uses the same CAD ranges as the cost guide. The readiness score uses the items on the checklist. The coverage estimator models a typical first SOC 2 control set. All three are ranges and estimates, not quotes: scope a calculator cannot see moves the real number.
