Backplain

Enterprise AI models for regulated industries. That is the short version of Backplain. The job it does: collecting evidence and tracking controls for frameworks like SOC 2 or HIPAA.

The natural audience is companies that sell to larger customers. They also list Artificial Intelligence (AI), Compliance, Generative AI, Privacy and Security, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Backplain is based in Carlsbad, California and around since 2023. You can read more at backplain.com.

Things worth asking about: frameworks covered, auditor network, and integrations. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with Backplain, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
