Startup Playbook

Enterprise-ready without a GRC army

The lean path to SOC 2–style readiness — minimum controls, continuous evidence, no annual panic.

Weekly gap glance · Monthly evidence hygiene · Continuous readiness

Typical frameworks

  • SOC 2
  • ISO 27001 (growth stage)
  • CIS Controls (baseline)

Minimum process

  • Pick the primary framework buyers ask for (usually SOC 2)
  • Enable a minimum control set and name owners
  • Automate or schedule evidence for high-traffic controls
  • Run a weekly readiness glance; close gaps before they pile up
  • Open engagements when sales / security reviews demand it

Evidence baseline

  • Access reviews and offboarding records
  • Change / deploy logs for production systems
  • Policy acknowledgements
  • Vendor / subprocessors inventory
  • Incident and vulnerability remediation trails
