getprobo/proboOpen source solutions for SOC2, GDPR, and ISO27001
Open-source GRC platform for engineers.
Probo is a self-hostable governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform built for engineering and security teams. It covers the full GRC lifecycle: risk identification, control tracking, vendor risk, data privacy, access reviews, audit programs, and document approval workflows. Every entity is accessible through a web console, a CLI, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) API, and a GraphQL API, so you can automate compliance work from code, scripts, or any LLM agent.
prb CLI (44+ command groups), MCP API, GraphQL, and an n8n community node for no-code automation.| Domain | Features |

| Controls & Frameworks | Control library with maturity levels, custom framework import/export, Statement of Applicability (SoA) |
| Vendor / Third-Party Risk | Vendor inventory, automated website risk assessment, DPA/BAA tracking, subprocessor discovery |
| Data Privacy | DPIA, Transfer Impact Assessments, processing activity records, data inventory, rights requests (SAR/erasure) |
| Access Reviews | Campaign management, per-entry access decisions, integration with SaaS, cloud infra, and source code sources |
| Audit Programs | Audit scoping, control mapping, finding tracking, report generation |
| Evidence & Measures | Evidence collection (files and URLs), implementation state tracking, task assignment |
| Document Management | Versioned documents, approval quorums, electronic signatures, PDF export, bulk operations |
| Compliance Page | Public compliance portal, NDA management, certification publishing, custom domain support |
| Cookie & Consent | Cookie banner management, tracker detection, consent records |
The primary interface for day-to-day GRC work. Runs at http://localhost:8080 in development.

Probo exposes 270+ MCP tools covering every entity and operation in the platform. Any MCP-compatible LLM agent (Claude, Cursor, Continue, and others) can connect directly and interact with your compliance data.
The full MCP specification is at pkg/server/api/mcp/v1/specification.yaml.
The @probo/n8n-nodes-probo community node brings Probo into n8n workflows for no-code automation of compliance tasks over the GraphQL API.
