Most startups begin their compliance journey with a security assessment in week 1. The compliance program build typically takes 3-6 months depending on framework complexity (SOC 2 Type II requires 6-12 months of evidence collection). After initial setup, you're ready for enterprise security reviews.

Compliance Consulting Services
From Security Assessment to Enterprise-Ready
Here's how we help startups get SOC 2, HIPAA, and cloud security right—so you can pass enterprise sales cycles and scale securely.
1
Security Assessment & Roadmap
Week 1: Understand your gaps and priorities
Cloud Architecture Review
We review your AWS, Azure, or GCP infrastructure for security gaps and compliance blockers. Identify misconfigurations, encryption issues, and access control problems.
Compliance Gap Analysis
We assess your current posture against SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 requirements. Identify what's blocking enterprise deals and prioritize fixes.
Risk Assessment
We identify your highest-risk areas and create a prioritized roadmap. Focus on what matters most for enterprise sales, not compliance theater.
Prioritized Roadmap
We deliver a clear, actionable roadmap to get you enterprise-ready. Timeline, priorities, and resource requirements—all tailored for your startup's stage and compliance framework.
Timeline
Week 1: Cloud review, gap analysis, risk assessment, roadmap delivery
Deliverable: Security assessment report + prioritized roadmap

Compliance Program Build
Weeks 2-12: Build your security foundation
Policy Development
We create startup-appropriate security policies (Information Security, Data Classification, Incident Response, etc.) aligned to SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001.
Cloud Security Hardening
We fix cloud misconfigurations, implement encryption, harden IAM policies, and secure your infrastructure. All changes documented for audit evidence.
DevOps Security
We secure your CI/CD pipelines, implement secrets management, harden container deployments, and ensure infrastructure-as-code follows security best practices.
Evidence Collection Setup
We set up automated evidence collection from your cloud accounts, identity providers, and endpoints. Daily monitoring ensures you stay compliant as you scale.
Implementation Schedule
Weeks 2-4: Policy development, cloud security hardening
Weeks 5-8: DevOps security, evidence collection setup
