FAQ

Questions, answered.

Getting started

Which framework do I need?

Most growing companies start with SOC 2, but it depends on who’s asking. We’ll work it out with you on the free assessment call.

How long does it take?

It depends on what we’re working with and what your goals are. Either way, it’s likely a fraction of the time it would take on your own, unless your team already has deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, security and compliance.

How much of my team’s time will this take?

Usually only a few hours, mostly reviews, approvals and, where needed, short interviews to fill in any policy gaps.

What does it cost?

Less than you’d expect. One team covers infrastructure, security and compliance, so you aren’t paying for three hires or three vendors. We’ll give you a quote after the free assessment.

Working together

Which clouds do you work with?

AWS is where we’re strongest today. We also take on Azure and GCP projects, and extend the platform to fit as we go.

What access do you need?

Our platform works with read-only access to your cloud. During the initial engagement we may ask for additional temporary permissions to speed things up. Every change still comes to you for approval. How access works

Do you guarantee we pass?

Your independent auditor makes the final call, but our deals are structured so we aren’t fully paid until you pass.

We already pay for Vanta or Drata. Can we keep it?

Yes. We also offer discounts with specific vendors, so you aren’t paying for two systems that solve the same problem.

Afterward

Can we do it ourselves instead?

Yes, the platform we use is available on its own. The tradeoff is that you’ll set it up yourself, and it won’t be tailored to your environment the way it is during a standard engagement. See the platform

What happens once we reach our compliance goals?

We do a thorough handoff, including training on the platform and the ongoing care and feeding your infrastructure, security and compliance programs need.
