Compliance for AI & SaaS Startups | Certifyi
Built for early-stage teams

Compliance built for startups, not enterprise IT

Certifyi automates SOC 2 or ISO 27001 readiness for startups in 8-12 weeks without a dedicated compliance hire. Pay-at-signoff pricing means the fee is due only once you pass.

10-100 employees Seed to Series A $8,000/year
The problem

A security questionnaire just stalled your biggest deal

You've got five people and a product to ship. Then an enterprise prospect sends a 200-line security questionnaire and asks for a SOC 2 report before they'll sign. This is where most startups either lose the deal or lose two quarters to a consultant.

No time for a 9-month project

Traditional consultants take 6-9 months. Your runway and your sales pipeline can't wait that long.

Can't justify $150K-$300K

Legacy consulting engagements price like you're a 500-person company. You're not.

No one owns security full-time

Your engineers wear five hats already. Nobody has bandwidth to become a compliance expert.

Every deal wants a different framework

One prospect wants SOC 2, another wants ISO 27001. You need both without doubling the work.

FAQ

Common questions from founders

The Early Stage plan is $8,000/year for 10-100 employee companies, covering up to two frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Payment splits 50% upfront, 50% at audit signoff.

Yes. That's who this is built for. A dedicated expert scopes your environment, pre-builds controls, and runs weekly check-ins — no prior audit experience needed on your side.

Most startups on Certifyi reach audit-ready status in 8-12 weeks, versus 6-9 months typical of traditional consultants.

Certifyi maps controls across frameworks simultaneously, so adding a second or third framework as you grow into the Growth or Enterprise plan doesn't mean starting over.
