Dike
SOC2 compliance without a $10,000/year platform.
Dike scans your GitHub commits and pull requests against compliance rules and creates Jira issues from violations — automatically. No external platform, no data export, no six-figure contract. It runs inside Jira on Atlassian Forge.
Install Dike FreeCompliance tools shouldn't cost more than your engineering team.
If you're a team pursuing SOC2 certification, here's what the market offers:
| Platform | Annual Cost | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Vanta | $10,000 – $100,000+ | Full compliance platform — powerful, expensive |
| Drata | $7,500 – $100,000+ | Full compliance platform — similar scope |
| Sprinto | $6,000 – $25,000 | Compliance automation — mid-market |
| Manual | $0 + your sanity | Spreadsheets, screenshots, and audit panic |
All of these send your data to external servers. All of them require separate vendor security reviews.
What if compliance checks ran where your team already works — inside Jira?
Compliance automation at 10–20x lower cost.
Dike connects your GitHub repositories to your Jira project and continuously monitors for compliance violations.
Scan

No new platform to learn. Your developers already use Jira. Compliance issues show up as regular Jira tickets — assignable, trackable, reportable.
Dike vs. external compliance platforms
| Dike | Vanta / Drata / Sprinto | |
|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | Free (paid tier ~$1,200/yr) | $7,500 – $100,000+ |
| Where does data go? | Stays in Jira (Forge-native) | External servers |
| Separate platform? | No — lives in Jira | Yes — another login, another UI |
| Setup time | Minutes | Days to weeks |
| Vendor security review | Not needed (runs on Atlassian) | Required |
| SOC2 compliance itself | Inherits Atlassian's SOC2 controls | Must prove their own compliance |
The irony of using an external platform for SOC2 compliance is that the platform itself becomes another vendor in your compliance scope. Dike doesn't — it runs inside Atlassian's already-compliant infrastructure.
Built for teams that:
Are pursuing SOC2 certification for the first time
Use Jira for project management and GitHub for code
Don't want to spend $7,500+/year on a compliance platform before they even have revenue
Care about data residency and minimizing their vendor footprint
Want compliance checks integrated into their existing developer workflow
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dike free?
The current version is free. A paid tier with continuous monitoring, audit reports, and multi-project support is coming soon at approximately $5-10/user/month.
Does Dike replace Vanta/Drata?
For teams that need full-platform compliance automation across dozens of integrations, probably not. For teams that primarily use Jira + GitHub and want SOC2 compliance checks without a six-figure commitment, Dike covers the core need at a fraction of the cost.
What compliance frameworks does Dike support?
Currently SOC2. ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR rule sets are on the roadmap.
Is my data safe?
Dike is Forge-native — your data never leaves Atlassian's infrastructure. No external API calls, no third-party data processing. This actually improves your compliance posture by reducing your vendor footprint.
