Why Start with Quick Fix?
The smart path to security clarity
Certification projects run $25K-$60K. Before you commit, wouldn't you want to know exactly what you're getting into?

This isn't advisory. We don't hand you a template and wish you luck.

Client Success Story
How a Quick Fix assessment led to full SOC 2 certification and a $2M enterprise deal
From Questionnaire Panic to $2M Enterprise Deal
E-commerce SaaS | SOC 2 | 150 Employees | Risk Assessment | 92 Days to Certification |
Challenge: A Fortune 500 prospect sent a 200-question security questionnaire. The 150-person e-commerce SaaS company had no security program, no compliance certifications, and two weeks before they'd lose a $500K annual contract—and the enterprise pipeline behind it.
Solution: Started with a Risk Assessment to understand their current state and answer the immediate questionnaire. Our team executed the assessment in 2 weeks, completed the vendor questionnaire, and identified the path to SOC 2.
The assessment revealed they were closer to audit-ready than expected. They decided to pursue full certification through Report Ready 90. Total time from first call to SOC 2 Type II: 92 days.
Result: Closed the original $500K deal. Three months later, closed a $2M multi-year enterprise contract—directly attributed to SOC 2 certification. Now in active sales conversations with 4 additional Fortune 500 companies.
Total investment: $55K. Revenue unlocked: $2.5M and growing.

You get the questionnaire answered AND a clear picture of your security posture. Many clients discover that investing in certification actually makes questionnaires easier long-term—one SOC 2 report replaces hundreds of individual questionnaire responses.
