Self-service SOC 2 compliance

Build an automated platform that helps startups achieve SOC 2 compliance without sales calls. Targets SaaS founders who need security certifications but hate enterprise sales processes.

Why now

More startups need compliance certifications to close enterprise deals but lack resources for traditional consulting.

Who for
SaaS founders
Business model
Tiered SaaS pricing
Effort
A few months

Startups struggle with the time and cost of SOC 2 compliance, especially when dealing with enterprise sales processes for consulting services.

Create a self-service platform that automates documentation, evidence collection, and audit preparation with clear step-by-step guidance.

SaaS companies would pay for the time saved and reduced consulting fees, with pricing based on company size.

Start with document templates and automated reminders. Add auditor matching later.

Risk: Some companies may still prefer human consultants for complex cases.
