Attestlane vs HOL Guard

Facts from each product's IndieNeed listing, side by side.

Attestlane helps small B2B software teams prepare for their first SOC 2 audit. A free 20-question assessment maps your answers to the Trust Services Criteria and produces a prioritized gap list and a 10-week roadmap.

HOL Guard is a local checkpoint between AI coding agents and your machine. Before an agent runs a shell command, reads a secret, calls an MCP server, or installs a package, HOL Guard checks the action against your policy and allows, blocks, or asks you. Open-source core (Apache-2.0): pipx install hol-guard && hol-guard init. Optional paid Guard Cloud adds hosted, fully managed team features.
