Overview
Probo is an open-source compliance platform sold alongside a managed service: its compliance officers run the programme end to end, from risk and vendor assessments through audit coordination to ongoing monitoring. The platform automates evidence collection, updates and approvals, and teams reach their officer through Slack. A branded trust page can be shared with customers during security reviews.

Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths

- Covers SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, GDPR and CCPA
- Documents, workflows and officer contact available in Slack
Trade-offs
- No prices published; you have to contact the company to learn the cost

- The done-for-you model puts your compliance programme in an outside team's hands

How this score is made up
Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.
MCP support
Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.
API quality
Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.
Documentation
Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.
Agent friendliness
How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.
Changelog
A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.
Marketing site structure
Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.
Page speed
How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.
Operational trust
Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.
Measured, but not part of the score
Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.
Openness
Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.
Maintenance
Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
