Why self-host your policy and compliance manager

Every policy your team creates contains context that matters — title, body, version, ack count, status. When that data lives in a third-party service, you are one acquisition or policy change away from losing access. Covenant keeps it local.

Replaces Drata ($1,000+/mo).

Write policies, version them, require team acknowledgment, track who's read what. SOC 2 prep without the $2,000/mo compliance SaaS. Your data lives in a SQLite file on your disk that you can back up by copying a folder, move to another machine, or query directly with any SQLite tool. The binary keeps running if Stockyard disappears tomorrow, because it is Apache 2.0 and you have a copy.
