Get ISO 42001 + SOC 2
audit ready in 8–12 weeks for AI/SaaS Startups

Get audit‑ready in 8–12 weeks instead of 3–6 months with DIY tools. Done‑with‑you implementation means weekly founder check‑ins with compliance leads, not chatbots or spreadsheets. Close blocked enterprise deals and pass investor due diligence on time. Pay 50% at kickoff, 50% when your external auditor signs off on your report or certificate.

✓ ISO/IEC 20000 1:2018 Certified | SOC 2 Type II Audited

This is for you if...


✓ You're a Seed–Series B AI or B2B SaaS startup
✓ A prospect, investor, or board member just asked for SOC 2 or ISO 42001
✓ You need done-with-you implementation, not another self-service tool

We get you audit‑ready in 8–12 weeks (vs. 6+ months with DIY tools and traditional consultants), so you can unblock security reviews and close enterprise deals faster.

Typical SOC 2 Type II completion: 8–10 months including 6‑month observation period.

Built for AI‑Native Multi-Framework Compliance

Stop duplicating work across compliance frameworks. Certifyi maps SOC 2, ISO 42001, ISO 27001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act together so you implement one control set that addresses requirements across all frameworks no duplicate policies, no re-implementing controls.

✓ NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF)
✓ EU AI Act compliance controls
✓ AI governance policy library (model cards, bias testing, AI incident response)

✓ SOC 2 Type I & Type II (Security & availability controls)
✓ ISO/IEC 42001 (AI management system standard)
✓ ISO/IEC 27001 (Information security management)

✓ HITRUST CSF (healthcare)
✓ Essential Eight (Australian cyber maturity)
✓ PCI DSS (payment security)
✓ GDPR (data privacy)
✓ CMMC (US defense contractors)
✓ StateRAMP / FedRAMP foundations

Traditional GRC tools require separate implementations for each framework 6–9 months and $50K+ per framework. Certifyi's unified control library means you implement once and map to multiple frameworks simultaneously, saving 6–12 months and reducing costs by 60%.

Why Startups Choose Certifyi Over Generic GRC Tools

DIY tools like Vanta and Drata focus on SOC 2; most do not natively support ISO 42001 and AI‑specific frameworks like NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act. Certifyi gets you audit‑ready for ISO 42001 and SOC 2 in 8–12 weeks, then supports you through SOC 2 Type II over the standard 8–10 month observation period versus 6–9 months just to reach audit‑readiness with generic tools and consultants.

Timelines depend on your existing security maturity and team availability.

8-12 weeks

Most AI and SaaS startups using DIY compliance tools and generic platforms take 3–6 months to reach an audit-ready state for SOC 2 or ISO 42001. Certifyi's done-with-you implementation model gets teams audit-ready in 8–12 weeks—through pre-built control libraries, weekly expert check-ins, and continuous evidence automation.

$250K+

Unlock blocked enterprise deals On average, customers close 2 enterprise deals within 90 days of certification, unblocking security reviews and accelerating $250K+ in annual contract value.

50% fewer

Pass audits with fewer findings Pre-built control library and mock audit preparation help customers reduce audit findings by up to 50% compared to DIY implementations, avoiding costly re-audit fees.

1 control set

Minimal duplication across frameworks SOC 2, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act mapped together. Extend your existing control set when adding frameworks instead of starting from scratch—saving 6-12 months and $50K+ in implementation fees.
