Information about AuditBadger
AuditBadger is a compliance management SaaS platform designed to help organizations implement and maintain governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs. The Service enables business users to document controls, manage risks, track compliance objectives, and produce audit-ready evidence across multiple frameworks. Key features include:
● Compliance Frameworks: Pre-configured SOC 2 and ISO 27001 structures with hierarchical control organization, implementation tracking, document versioning, user acknowledgments, and evidence collection with attachment support.
● Risk Management: Multi-dimensional risk assessment across eight impact categories, risk treatment planning, control effectiveness mapping, point-in-time risk snapshots, and scheduled risk register reviews.
● Business Continuity Planning: Documentation of business continuity plans, identification of critical processes and dependencies, recovery time and recovery point objective tracking, plan testing documentation, and crisis communication templates.
● Incident Management: Security incident logging and categorization, severity classification with escalation paths, root cause analysis, corrective action tracking, post-incident reviews, and regulatory breach notification workflows.
● Asset Management: Physical asset lifecycle tracking from purchase to retirement, hardware inventory and assignment, maintenance scheduling, depreciation calculations, and check-in/check-out for shared resources.
● Vendor Management: Vendor registry with risk tiering, assessment templates and questionnaires, finding and remediation tracking, evidence request management, and a vendor self-service portal.
● Platform Capabilities: Multi-tenant architecture, role-based access control, comprehensive audit trails, file attachment management, and reporting and exports.
AuditBadger uses artificial intelligence to assist with compliance work, including generating draft policies, summarizing documents, suggesting control mappings, and analyzing evidence. AI-generated outputs are advisory in nature, may contain errors or omissions, and must be reviewed and validated by the Customer before being relied upon for any compliance, legal, or business purpose. The Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy and sufficiency of all content within their AuditBadger environment, whether AI-generated or not.
AuditBadger provides tools to support compliance activities but does not replace independent legal, security, audit, or regulatory advice or obligations. AuditBadger does not certify, audit, validate, or guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of any evidence or documentation stored in the Service. The responsibility for achieving and maintaining compliance with any framework, standard, law, or regulation always remains with the Customer.
The binding terms governing these points are set out in the "Nature of the Service — Compliance, AI, and Professional Advice" section below, which prevails in the event of any inconsistency with this descriptive overview.
Please note: AuditBadger does not offer a free trial period. Subscriptions are billed from the day the Customer confirms subscription activation within the application. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time from within the Service; cancellation is recorded immediately and the subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period, after which no further charges are made. No partial refunds are issued for unused portions of a billing period.
What the User should know at a glance
● The Service / AuditBadger is intended exclusively for Users that do not qualify as Consumers, such as Business Users acting for purposes relating to their trade, business, craft or profession. See the "Eligibility — Business Users only" section.
● AuditBadger uses automatic renewal for Product subscriptions. Information about the a) renewal period, b) termination details and c) termination notice can be found in the relevant section of these Terms.
● AuditBadger is a compliance management tool. It does not provide legal, audit, certification, or regulatory advice, does not guarantee any compliance outcome, and its AI features produce advisory output that the Customer must independently verify against the original source frameworks. The Customer bears sole and exclusive responsibility for verifying all AI-generated output against original source frameworks before any use. See the "Nature of the Service" section.
Eligibility — Business Users only
The Service is offered solely to Business Users and is not directed to, intended for, or available to Consumers.
By registering for or using the Service, the User represents and warrants that:
● it is acting for purposes relating to its trade, business, craft or profession, and not as a Consumer;
● the individual accepting these Terms is authorised to bind the organization on whose behalf the Service is used;
● it is not relying on any consumer-protection regime in connection with its use of the Service;
● it has, or has access to, sufficient professional expertise - including qualified legal, security, and audit professionals - to independently evaluate, validate, and take responsibility for all content generated within, or with the assistance of, the Service; and
● it does not rely, and will not rely, on the Service as a substitute for professional advice, an independent audit, or an accreditation process.
Because the Service is not directed to Consumers, statutory consumer rights that apply only to Consumers — including, where they would otherwise apply, the right of withdrawal from distance contracts under EU or national law — do not apply to the use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits any right that applies under mandatory law and cannot be excluded by agreement.
If the User does not meet these conditions, the User must not register for or use the Service.
Nature of the Service — Compliance, AI, and Professional Advice
This section sets out binding terms and prevails over any descriptive statement elsewhere in these Terms or on AuditBadger.
1. A tool, not advice. AuditBadger is a compliance management platform that provides software tools to document, organize, and evidence compliance activities. The Owner does not provide legal, regulatory, audit, certification, accounting, security-assurance, or other professional advice through the Service, and nothing made available through the Service constitutes such advice or creates an advisor-client, auditor-client, or similar relationship. The Service is not a substitute for independent professional advice, for an accredited audit or certification, or for the User's own judgment. For the avoidance of doubt, no output generated by the Service's AI features, no suggestion, template, control mapping, or policy draft produced by the Service, and no communication from the Owner's support team, constitutes legal, regulatory, audit, or professional advice, and none of them creates any advisory, fiduciary, auditor-client, or similar relationship or duty of care between the Owner and the User.
2. No guarantee of compliance. The Owner does not certify, audit, validate, attest to, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, sufficiency, or regulatory acceptability of any control, policy, risk assessment, evidence, document, or other content within the User's environment, whether generated by the User, by the Service, or by its AI features. Achieving and maintaining compliance with any framework, standard, law, or regulation — and the consequences of any failure to do so — remain at all times the sole responsibility of the User.
3. AI-generated content is advisory and must be validated. The Service uses artificial intelligence to assist with compliance work, including generating draft policies, summarizing documents, suggesting control mappings, and analyzing evidence. AI-generated output is advisory only, is produced by automated systems, may be incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or unsuitable for the User's circumstances, and must be independently reviewed and validated by a competent person before being relied upon for any compliance, legal, audit, or business purpose. The User is solely responsible for all content in its environment, whether AI-generated or not.
4. Duty to consult original source frameworks. The User acknowledges and agrees that the Service organizes and references compliance frameworks for convenience only, and that framework text, criteria, and requirements within the Service may be summarized, paraphrased, abridged, or out of date. The User must not rely on the Service as an authoritative statement of any framework or legal requirement. Before relying on any control, mapping, policy, or evidence for a compliance, audit, certification, or regulatory purpose, the User must consult and verify against the original, authoritative source documents, including without limitation the AICPA SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, the ISO/IEC 27001 standard (and related ISO/IEC documents), the HIPAA rules - including their most current updates and revisions, and any other framework, standard, law, or regulation applicable to the UserThe Owner has no obligation to update the Service to reflect immediate changes in external laws, regulations, or frameworks. Where the Service and a source document differ, the source document governs.
5. No reliance for life, health, or safety. The Service is a business compliance tool. It is not designed or intended for, and must not be used as a basis for, any decision or action relating to the life, health, physical safety, or bodily integrity of any person. The User must not rely on the Service or its output for any such purpose.
6. User responsibility. The User is responsible for determining whether the Service is appropriate for its purposes, for engaging qualified professionals where needed, and for all decisions taken on the basis of, or with the assistance of, the Service.
7. Assumption of Risk. The User expressly acknowledges that compliance management involves inherent uncertainty, that no software tool - however capable - can guarantee a specific audit or certification outcome, and that the User has independently assessed the risks associated with using the Service for its compliance activities. The User assumes full and exclusive risk for any adverse outcome, including without limitation a failed audit, refused or revoked certification, regulatory investigation, fine, or reputational harm, arising from its use of or reliance on the Service. This assumption of risk applies regardless of whether the adverse outcome was caused in whole or in part by AI-generated content, framework mapping, policy templates, or any other feature of the Service.

US Users
Disclaimer of Warranties
AuditBadger is provided strictly on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Use of the Service is at Users' own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Owner expressly disclaims all conditions, representations, and warranties — whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of third-party rights. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by the User from the Owner or through the Service will create any warranty not expressly stated herein.

The Owner does not warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any product or service advertised or offered by a third party through the Service or any hyperlinked website or service, and the Owner shall not be a party to or in any way monitor any transaction between Users and third-party providers of products or services.
The Service may become inaccessible or it may not function properly with Users' web browser, mobile device, and/or operating system. The owner cannot be held liable for any perceived or actual damages arising from Service content, operation, or use of this Service.
Federal law, some states, and other jurisdictions, do not allow the exclusion and limitations of certain implied warranties. The above exclusions may not apply to Users. This Agreement gives Users specific legal rights, and Users may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers and exclusions under this agreement shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
Limitations of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Owner, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees be liable for:

In no event shall the Owner, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees be liable for any claims, proceedings, liabilities, obligations, damages, losses or costs in an amount exceeding the amount paid by User to the Owner hereunder in the preceding 12 months, or the period of duration of this agreement between the Owner and User, whichever is shorter.
This limitation of liability section shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if the User has been advised of the possibility of such damage.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, therefore the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to the User. The terms give User specific legal rights, and User may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations of liability under the terms shall not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
Indemnification
The User agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Owner and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees harmless from and against any and all claims or demands, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees and expenses, arising from

● User's violation of any third-party rights, including, but not limited to, any right of privacy or intellectual property rights;
● User's violation of any statutory law, rule, or regulation;
● any content that is submitted from User's account, including third party access with User's unique username, password or other security measure, if applicable, including, but not limited to, misleading, false, or inaccurate information;
● User's willful misconduct; or
● statutory provision by User or its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders, partners, suppliers and employees to the extent allowed by applicable law.
These US-specific provisions are included for informational purposes and because certain US state laws may apply to US-based Users regardless of the governing law clause. They do not constitute a submission by the Owner to US jurisdiction or a waiver of the governing law clause designating Polish law as applicable to the Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this section and the governing law clause, the governing law clause shall prevail to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
Common provisions
No Waiver
The Owner's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of any such right or provision. Any waiver of rights under these Terms must be made in writing or in documentary form to be valid. No waiver shall be considered a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
Service interruption
To ensure the best possible service level, the Owner reserves the right to interrupt the Service for maintenance, system updates or any other changes, without prior notice, though the Owner will make reasonable efforts to inform Users in advance.
Within the limits of law, the Owner may also decide to suspend or discontinue the Service at any time . If the Service is discontinued, the Owner will cooperate with Users to enable them to withdraw personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Any rights of the User relating to continued product use, damages, or compensation for the suspension or discontinuation of the Service are expressly excluded.
Additionally, the Service might not be available due to reasons outside the Owner's reasonable control, such as "force majeure" events (infrastructural breakdowns, cyberattacks or blackouts etc.).

Such changes will take effect 14 days after the notification is sent. The continued use of the Service or failure to terminate the Agreement within this period will signify the User's absolute acceptance of the revised Terms. If Users do not wish to be bound by the changes, their sole remedy is to stop using the Service and terminate the Agreement before the changes take effect.
If legally required, the Owner will notify Users in advance of when the modified Terms will take effect.
Assignment of contract
The Owner reserves the right to transfer, assign, dispose of by novation, or subcontract any or all rights or obligations under these Terms, taking the User's legitimate interests into account. Provisions regarding changes of these Terms will apply accordingly.
Users may not assign or transfer their rights or obligations under these Terms in any way, without the written permission of the Owner.
Contacts
All communications relating to the use of AuditBadger must be sent using the contact information stated in this document.
Severability
Should any provision of these Terms be deemed or become invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
US Users
Any such invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted, construed and reformed to the extent reasonably required to render it valid, enforceable and consistent with its original intent. These Terms constitute the entire Agreement between Users and the Owner with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all other communications, including but not limited to all prior agreements, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. These Terms will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
EU Users
Should any provision of these Terms be or be deemed void, invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall do their best to find, in an amicable way, an agreement on valid and enforceable provisions thereby substituting the void, invalid or unenforceable parts. In case of failure to do so, the void, invalid or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions, if so permitted or stated under the applicable law.
Without prejudice to the above, the nullity, invalidity or impossibility to enforce a particular provision of these Terms shall not nullify the entire Agreement, unless the severed provisions are essential to the Agreement, or of such importance that the parties would not have entered into the contract if they had known that the provision would not be valid, or in cases where the remaining provisions would translate into an unacceptable hardship on any of the parties.
