SOC 2 compliance in 8-12 weeks,
not 9 months
Certifyi automates SOC 2 Type I and Type II readiness for AI and SaaS startups: pre-built controls, continuous evidence capture, and weekly expert review replace a DIY dashboard and an open-ended timeline. Pay-at-signoff pricing means the fee is due only once you pass.
The old way costs you deals, not just months
Traditional consultants and DIY platforms both leave AI startups stuck at the wrong moment in the sales cycle.
Enterprise deals stall without it
40% of Series A investors and most enterprise security reviews require SOC 2 before they'll sign. No report, no deal — or a deal delayed 6-9 months.
Consultants cost $150K+ and 9-12 months
Junior consultants execute against generic templates with no AI specialization, and you're the one doing the follow-up work between calls.
DIY tools still need 200+ founder hours
Self-service platforms hand you a dashboard and a checklist. Someone on your team still has to chase every piece of evidence manually.
Renewal starts the clock over
Without continuous monitoring, next year's recertification is a second scramble — the same manual work, all over again.
Done-with-you SOC 2, built for AI startups
Pre-built control libraries plus weekly calls with actual compliance leads — not a support ticket queue.
Pre-built SOC 2 control library
Trust Service Criteria mapped to controls out of the box, so you're configuring — not building from a blank page.
Weekly expert check-ins
Real compliance leads, not chatbots — 1:1 calls to design and deploy controls across your 8-12 week engagement.
Multi-framework from day one
Map SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act controls simultaneously instead of paying for separate projects per framework.
12 months monitoring included
Certification isn't the finish line. Continuous monitoring and predictive alerts are included so next year's renewal isn't a second scramble.

SOC 2, answered
SOC 2 evaluates how a company protects customer data across security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Type I checks your controls are designed correctly at a point in time; Type II checks they worked over an observation window, usually 3-12 months. Most enterprise buyers eventually expect Type II, but many startups start with Type I to close early deals faster. Certifyi scopes this with you in week one based on what your prospects and investors are actually asking for.
8-12 weeks to audit-ready status, compared to 6-9 months with traditional consultants or DIY platforms — a 3x improvement driven by pre-built controls and weekly expert check-ins.
Software starts at $8,000/year for early-stage startups, scaling to $28,000/year at the enterprise tier — about 85% less than a traditional first-year engagement ($150K-300K). Professional services (control implementation, mock audits, audit liaison) are billed separately by scope. Payment is milestone-based: 50% upfront, 50% at sign-off.
No. Certifyi isn't a CPA firm and doesn't issue the report itself. Certifyi gets your controls designed and evidence mapped so your independent auditor's fieldwork is fast and clean, and can act as a liaison during the audit window to handle requests in real time.
