The problem
Compliance shouldn't be a five-figure fire drill
You shouldn't need a compliance department or an enterprise SaaS contract to prove you take security seriously.
Enterprise deals stall without a SOC 2 report
Security questionnaires and “send us your SOC 2” requests block revenue. Compliance becomes a sales gate, not just an IT checkbox.
Compliance is a sprawl of spreadsheets
Policies in docs, evidence in screenshots, vendor reviews in email, risk registers in a forgotten tab. Nothing connected; audit prep is a fire drill.
Incumbent tools are expensive and opaque
The market leaders are closed, pricey, and lock your compliance data inside their cloud. For an early-stage team, the pricing alone is a barrier.
Staying compliant is harder than getting compliant
A point-in-time report isn't enough. Controls drift, access creeps, vendors change, and the next audit window arrives faster than expected.

Questions
What careful buyers ask before they start
Straight answers about auditors, hosting and bringing an existing program with you.
Where does my data live?
On our secure cloud. Enterprise customers can discuss private cloud hosting and data-residency options.
Does it replace our auditor?
No — it gets you and your evidence audit-ready; your auditor still issues the report.
Can our auditor work with us in SOC2Start?
Yes. Pro includes an auditor workspace and access so your auditor can review the evidence and controls you prepare in the platform.
Can we migrate from Vanta?
Talk to us about your current program and exports. We will scope a migration plan around the controls, evidence and framework data you already have rather than promise a one-size-fits-all import.
