Enterprise-Ready in 90 Days. Without the Enterprise Budget.
Early-stage startups need to move fast. Enterprise prospects are asking for SOC 2. Investors want to see a security program. You need to get certified without slowing down your product roadmap. We make it happen in 90 days at a fixed price.
Common Challenges
Your first enterprise prospect just sent a 200-question security questionnaire. You don't have SOC 2. The deal is stalled. This is the most common growth blocker for Series A startups.
Series B and C investors increasingly require SOC 2 as part of due diligence. Not having it can delay or kill funding rounds at the worst possible time.
You don't have a CISO. Your engineers are focused on the product. You need someone to build the security program for you — not just advise on it.
Traditional security consultants charge $300K+ for a SOC 2 engagement and take 12–18 months. That's not viable for a startup. We deliver the same result in 90 days at a fraction of the cost.
Recommended Frameworks
Every industry has different compliance requirements. Here's what we recommend for Startups companies — and why.
The fastest path to unblocking enterprise deals. Most US enterprise buyers require SOC 2 Type II. We get you there in 90 days.

If your product uses AI, get ahead of the governance requirement. Enterprise buyers are starting to ask for it.
Case Studies
A Series A startup had their first enterprise deal ($500K ARR) stalled because the prospect required SOC 2 Type II. The startup had 5 engineers and no security program.
We built their entire security program from scratch — policies, controls, evidence collection, and auditor coordination. Engineers were involved minimally, keeping them focused on the product.
SOC 2 Type II in 9 months. Enterprise deal closed. The security program also became a selling point that accelerated 4 other enterprise deals in the pipeline.
