In r/SaaS, Claude Code is used to ship a Vanta style compliance platform in hours, triggering a moat debate that shifts from feature speed to auditor relationships, workflows, SLAs, and regression testing against changing APIs.
Last week I sat down with Claude Code and built Shasta — an open-source platform that covers the same ground.
curious what your test coverage looks like on something built this fast.
the failure mode for open-source compliance tools is usually that they work perfectly on demo day and then silently break when AWS changes an API response format three months later.
Vanta's defensibility is auditor relationships, SOC 2 workflows embedded in 10K+ companies, and SLA guarantees a CISO can show their board.
