You’ve got 90 days – maybe less – to get SOC 2, CMMC, or ISO 27001 certified. Failure means losing the deal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get audit-ready?
Most clients are audit-ready in 3-4 months. Some frameworks like CMMC or ISO 27001 may take longer depending on your starting point. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your discovery call.
What if I already bought Vanta or Drata?
Good – we’ll use it. We’re official partners with both platforms and will help you actually implement the controls instead of staring at a dashboard full of tasks you don’t understand.
Do I need a GRC tool to work with you?
No. If you don’t have one, we’ll help you choose the right platform for your size and budget. If you already have one, we work with it.
Which compliance framework do I actually need?
It depends on your customers and industry. SOC 2 is most common for B2B SaaS. CMMC is required for defense contractors. ISO 27001 is often requested by international clients. We’ll help you figure out the right one during your discovery call.
What's your pass rate?
100% of our clients have passed their audit on the first attempt. No failed audits. No do-overs.
What happens after I pass my audit?
You can transition to our SUSTAIN package for ongoing compliance support – or manage it internally. Either way, we’ll make sure you understand what’s needed to maintain your certification.
How is pricing structured?
LAUNCH starts at $5,000/month. Most engagements run 3-4 months. No hourly billing surprises. No hidden fees.
Can you help with security questionnaires during the process?
Yes. Sales and infosec support is included. When prospects send you security questionnaires mid-engagement, we help you respond.
