Security & Compliance
Security posture snapshot
A focused look at where things stand today, before committing to a larger program.
Who this is for
- Companies that know security needs attention but aren't sure where to start
- Founders who want an honest, outside read before deciding whether SOC 2, ISO 27001, or a fractional CISO is the right next step
- Teams that need a starting point to bring to a board or leadership conversation
What this addresses
- There's a general sense that security needs attention, without a clear picture of what's actually urgent
- A decision needs to be made about where to invest first — compliance, technical testing, or ongoing leadership — without enough information to choose
- A board or leadership team is asking for a security update and there's no current, structured answer to give them
Our approach
A snapshot is a lighter-weight starting point than a full engagement: a structured look across the areas most companies at this stage need to understand — compliance readiness, technical exposure, and where accountability for security decisions currently sits.
The exact areas covered are scoped to the business in an initial conversation, since a snapshot for an early-stage SaaS company looks different from one for a company already mid-way through a compliance push.
The output is a plain-language summary of what's solid, what's exposed, and what to prioritize first — meant to inform a decision, not replace a full assessment.
Every engagement follows the same six-step methodology — see our approach.
What to expect
This is intentionally a smaller, faster engagement than a full readiness or technical assessment — exact scope, format, and timeline are set in an initial conversation rather than fixed in advance, since 'the basics' mean different things for different companies.
Frequently asked
Is this a substitute for a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 readiness assessment?
No — it's meant to help decide whether and where to invest next, including whether a compliance framework is the right priority at all. A full readiness assessment goes much deeper once that direction is set.
What do we actually get at the end?
A plain-language summary of findings and priorities. The exact format is agreed upfront based on what's most useful — a written summary, a working session, or both.
