Enterprise-Grade Security Without Enterprise Budgets
SOC 2 certification in 90 days. Close enterprise deals, impress investors, and outpace competitors stuck in 9-month compliance cycles.
Security Is Blocking Your Growth
You're losing deals to "we need to see your SOC 2 report." Investors are asking about your security posture. Enterprise prospects send 400-question security questionnaires. Your engineering team is buried in compliance paperwork instead of building product.
Traditional consultants quote 9-12 months and $100K+. You don't have that time or budget. Your competitors are getting certified and winning your deals.
SOC 2 in 90 Days, Built for Startups
We get startups SOC 2 certified in 90 days—full-service implementation designed for lean teams. Cloud security configuration, policy library, evidence automation via dashr.ai, and audit support.
Your engineers stay focused on product. We handle compliance. You close enterprise deals.
Why Security Is Different for Startups
You're moving fast, running lean, and fighting for every deal. Traditional security approaches don't fit your world.
Enterprise Deals Blocked
You've got product-market fit, but enterprise procurement won't sign without SOC 2. Deals stall for months while competitors with certification win.
Security Questionnaire Hell
Every enterprise prospect sends a 400-question security questionnaire. Your team spends 40+ hours per questionnaire instead of building product.
Investor Due Diligence
VCs and PE firms increasingly include security in due diligence. No formal security program means harder fundraising and lower valuations.
Target on Your Back
Attackers know startups move fast and cut corners. You're a softer target than enterprises, with valuable customer data and IP.
No Security Team
You can't afford a $250K CISO. Your CTO "owns" security by default. Engineering is spread thin between product and compliance.
Time You Don't Have
Traditional compliance takes 9-12 months. You're trying to hit revenue targets this quarter. Every month without SOC 2 is deals lost to competitors.
When Startups Get It Wrong
These aren't hypotheticals. Real startups. Real consequences.
$2M Deal Lost to SOC 2 Gap
After 6 months sales cycle, Fortune 500 customer walked when procurement required SOC 2. Competitor with certification won the deal in 3 weeks.
Impact: $2M ARR lost, 6-month sales cycle wasted
Series A Valuation Reduced
Lead investor's due diligence found no formal security program. Term sheet renegotiated with $3M lower valuation and security milestones tied to funding.
Impact: $3M less funding, 15% more dilution
S3 Bucket Breach
Misconfigured AWS S3 bucket exposed 50,000 customer records. Discovered by security researcher, disclosed on Twitter before company knew.
Impact: Full customer notification, 30% churn spike
Ransomware During Fundraise
Ransomware attack hit 2 weeks before Series B close. Investors discovered during diligence. Deal delayed 4 months, terms changed.
Impact: $5M less funding, 6-month runway burn
SOC 2 Failure Delayed IPO
Planning to go public, discovered SOC 2 gaps during S-1 prep. IPO delayed 18 months for compliance remediation. Market window closed.
Impact: IPO delayed, $50M+ opportunity cost
Insider Threat Post-Layoff
After layoffs, terminated engineer retained GitHub access for 3 weeks. Downloaded customer data and proprietary code before detection.
Impact: Customer notification, competitor intelligence leak
Challenges Enterprise Consultants Don't Get
Big 4 firms charge enterprise prices for enterprise timelines. You need something built for startup speed.
Speed Over Everything
- • Daily deployments, weekly sprints, quarterly pivots
- • Can't wait 9-12 months for compliance
- • Deals closing this quarter, not next year
- • Competitors moving fast—you can't slow down
- • Runway pressure means every month matters
- • Security can't be a blocker, must be an enabler
Resource Constraints
- • Patient care can't stop for security updatesNo budget for $250K CISO or enterprise tools
- • Engineering team is 5-20 people, not 500
- • CTO "owns" security by default
- • Can't hire security until Series B+
- • Every dollar goes to product and growth
- • Compliance competes with feature development
Tech Stack Complexity
- • Cloud-native from day one (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- • Modern stack: containers, Kubernetes, serverless
- • Dozens of SaaS tools with varying security
- • Third-party integrations everywhere
- • GitHub, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code
- • Remote-first teams with distributed access
Growing Pains
- • Processes that worked at 5 people break at 50
- • Tribal knowledge needs documentation
- • Founder access everywhere, no separation of duties
- • Hiring fast means onboarding/offboarding gaps
- • Technical debt accumulating faster than fixes
- • What got you here won't get you there
