Where compliance starts breaking
Problem anchor
Manual, checklist-driven compliance breaks as startups scale—creating deal friction, hidden risk, and growth slowdowns when speed matters most.
Pain points
- Security questionnaires and audits slow enterprise deals.
- Manual evidence collection lives across docs, sheets, and people’s memory.
- Last-minute compliance scrambles pull engineering away from shipping.
Triggers
- An enterprise buyer asks for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 proof.
- A renewal/security review introduces a surprise control gap.
- Team grows fast and access reviews/policies start drifting.
- Open with the deal tension: we’re not ‘doing compliance’, we’re removing deal friction.
- Call out the hidden cost: context switching + scattered evidence = chaos at scale.
- Re-anchor: this is about staying audit-ready without slowing product.
