Frequently asked questions
The things teams most often ask before starting their compliance journey with Certifyi.
How fast can Certifyi get us audit-ready?
Most teams reach audit-ready in 8 to 12 weeks. The exact timeline depends on your starting point, your scope, and which framework you're pursuing.
Which frameworks does Certifyi support?
SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, and GDPR, all mapped to a single unified control library so evidence collected for one counts toward the others.
What does "done-with-you" actually mean?
You get the Certifyi platform plus a named compliance expert who guides you through scoping, controls, evidence, and the audit, with weekly check-ins. You're not left to figure it out alone.
Do I still need an external auditor?
Yes. For frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, an independent auditor issues the report or certificate. Certifyi prepares you and manages the evidence; the audit opinion comes from the CPA or certification body.
Can I use my own auditor?
Yes. You're free to bring your own auditor or work with one from our network. The choice is yours.
How is Certifyi different from Vanta, Drata, or Sprinto?
Those platforms are primarily self-serve. Certifyi combines the automation with hands-on experts who drive the program, which is why teams without a dedicated compliance hire tend to move faster with us.
Does Certifyi handle AI governance?
Yes. AI governance is a core module, with ISO 42001 and AI risk mapping built in rather than bolted on.
How does pricing work?
Pricing is scoped to your company stage and the frameworks you need. Book a 20-minute deal readiness call and we'll map the right scope and price for you.
