Quickstart

This guide walks you through deploying Probo with Docker Compose and setting up your first compliance framework. You should be up and running in about 15 minutes.

Prerequisites

Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine

Deploy Probo

Download the Docker Compose file

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getprobo/probo/refs/heads/main/deploy/docker-compose/docker-compose.yml -o docker-compose.yml

Start the services
Terminal window
```
docker compose up -d
```
This starts all required services: the Probo server, PostgreSQL database, and SeaweedFS for file storage.
Access the web interface

Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser. Create your account and log in.
Create your organization

After logging in, create your first organization. This is the top-level entity that contains all your compliance data.
Import a compliance framework

Navigate to the frameworks section and import the framework relevant to your business — for example, SOC 2 or ISO 27001. This gives you a set of controls to work with.

Next Steps

You now have a running Probo instance with a compliance framework in place. From here, you can start mapping controls to your security practices, collecting evidence, and managing risks.

Core Concepts Understand the data model: frameworks, controls, measures, risks, and more

Configuration Configure Probo for your environment
