Seed stage

SOC 2 at seed stage,without a compliance hire.

At seed stage you have one or two engineers who can touch production, a handful of SaaS tools and an enterprise logo waiting on a security review. That is a small, clean scope — which is exactly why SOC 2 is easier now than it will be at Series B. Here is what it takes.

No spam. One reply from a real compliance architect.

Keep scope small on purpose

Scope the report to the product your buyer uses, on the Security criteria only. Adding availability or confidentiality before a contract requires them multiplies evidence for no revenue.

  • One product, one production environment
  • Security (Common Criteria) only unless a contract says otherwise
  • Corporate laptops and identity in scope; side projects out

What it costs at seed

Traditionally three line items: the audit, the compliance platform, and engineering time. With KoComply it's one all-inclusive price — agentic GRC plus audit — and qualifying early-stage teams get exclusive Startup Access pricing, paid in stages.

Type 1 now, Type 2 next

Take Type 1 to unblock the deal in front of you, then let the same automated evidence pipeline run your Type 2 observation window. Nothing is thrown away — the controls that proved design are the ones that prove operation.

What a seed team should never do manually

Founder hours are the scarcest input. Everything below is agent work.

  • Writing policies from templates and keeping them current
  • Collecting screenshots for access reviews
  • Chasing teammates for training and acknowledgements
  • Filling security questionnaires by hand
  • Rebuilding the vendor list every quarter

How KoComply gets you there

Day 1

Connect your stack

AWS or GCP, GitHub, Google Workspace or Okta, and your MDM if you have one.

Day 2–5

Agents draft everything

Policies, system description, risk register and vendor assessments generated from your real environment.

Week 2–3

Close gaps

Agents assign owners and chase until the control board is green. You approve, you do not author.

Week 4

Hand the auditor a package

Structured evidence, mapped to criteria. Type 1 attainable, Type 2 window starts clean.

Frequently asked questions

Are we too early for SOC 2?

If an enterprise prospect has asked for a security review, you are not too early. Scope is smallest — and cheapest — the earlier you start.

Do we need a dedicated compliance owner?

No. A founder or engineering lead spending a few hours a week approving agent output is enough at this size.

Will investors care?

Increasingly yes at Series A diligence, but the real driver is revenue: SOC 2 removes the most common blocker in enterprise procurement.

What if we are pre-revenue?

Apply for Startup Access. It exists so pre-revenue and early-revenue teams can become audit ready on startup pricing, starting now and paying in stages.

Become compliance ready in 2–4 weeks

One price to KoComply covers everything — agentic GRC and the audit, all inclusive. Qualifying early-stage startups get Startup Access pricing and can pay in stages.
