Complies review
A practical web-based option for small teams managing SOX ITGC evidence and readiness.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Complies is web-based compliance management software for teams of 5 to 200 people. It is aimed at companies that need a self-service approach to compliance workflows without a dedicated compliance hire. For SOX, its positioning centers on IT general controls, including access reviews, change approvals, operations evidence, and obligation tracking. The product also covers compliance calendars, cross-framework control mapping, policy management, risk registers, readiness scores, reports, and audit-ready export packs.
Pricing is structured across four tiers, with the published paid plans billed annually. Starter costs $79 per month and includes one active framework, an obligation tracker, a compliance calendar, policy templates, AI-drafted policy starting points, and email support. Growth costs $199 per month and adds all frameworks with cross-mapping, evidence collection with owners and due dates, readiness scores, gap flags, reports, and a risk register. Scale costs $499 per month and adds custom frameworks, roles and permissions, SSO through SAML, audit-ready export packs, and priority support. Enterprise adds unlimited seats, bespoke crosswalks, dedicated onboarding, an SLA, security review and DPA support, plus invoicing and procurement support.
Its strongest fit is for teams that need organized evidence collection and a clearer view of readiness across one or more frameworks. Evidence can be collected manually with owners and due dates or synchronized automatically from connected systems, including AWS, GitHub, Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, Azure, and Okta. The platform's policy templates and AI-drafted starting points can help structure initial documentation, while reports and export packs support audit preparation. Companies seeking financial-process SOX coverage, verified control testing, deficiency management, certification, or a dedicated SOX library should choose a more specialized alternative. Complies is better suited to foundational ITGC workflows and broader compliance coordination.
