Stop letting compliance block your revenue.
Big deals stall in procurement. Engineering doubles and no one owns risk. The CISO seat is open and a $250K hire is six months away. We are the function in the meantime — embedded, accountable, named on the auditor letter.
A flagship customer adds a security clause to the contract. The deal goes quiet.
It almost always starts with one email. A buyer’s legal team appends a SOC 2 requirement to a contract that was supposed to close this quarter. The questionnaire is forty pages. The CTO opens it on a Tuesday, closes it on a Wednesday, and forwards it to whoever runs security — which, in most companies between seed and Series B, is nobody.
Or it starts with a board observation: headcount has tripled but ownership of the controls hasn’t moved with it. Shadow IT crept in two quarters ago. Access reviews are theoretical. An ISMS exists in a folder somewhere. The team senses things have drifted, but the work to bring them back keeps losing to the work to ship.
Or it’s the AI question. Enterprise procurement adds an ISO 42001 line to the vendor packet. Investors ask, on the call, “walk us through your AI governance.”
By the time you realize the questionnaire is the problem, the deal is already on the runway.
The market had two stock answers for this. Hire a CISO — a six-month process for a $250,000 commitment — or buy advisory hours and end up with a slide deck and a roadmap nobody operates. Neither delivers what the moment actually needs: someone accountable, in the room, running the program week after week.
ComplianceOps is the third answer.
We do not advise. We operate.
One team. One operating model. The CISO, the GRC team, and the automation platform behind it — running together from day one, in a single managed engagement.

Six steps. None of them are status meetings.
We do not deliver a deck and leave. We build the program with you and keep operating it as you grow.
-
Step 01
Onboarding
We meet your team and inherit the context you should not have to re-explain.
-
Step 02
Assessment & gap analysis
A clear-eyed view of where you are against the frameworks that matter to the deals in front of you.
-
Step 03
Roadmap
What we do this quarter, what waits, and why — translated for engineer, board, and customer alike.
-
Step 04
GRC platform setup
We deploy and operate the automation platform. You do not learn a new tool to run.
-
Step 05
Managed operations
Cadences instead of status meetings. Evidence next to the work that produced it.
-
Step 06
Audit & certification
We sit on your side of the table — through Stage 2, surveillance, and recertification.
Four shapes of the same problem.
Most companies that call us are in one of these four situations. Different triggers, same need: a function that operates, not a deck that ages.
-
Audit-pressured startup
A flagship customer asked for SOC 2 and the deal is on the clock.
-
Scaling team in chaos
Engineering outran process and nobody owns risk.
-
AI-first innovator
Buyers and regulators want to see how you govern your AI.
-
Global workforce
Posture has to mature across regions, not just one team.
Bay Area rooted. Globally delivered.
The same operating model fits a ten-person seed company in San Francisco and a global workforce across multiple regions. We scale the program — frameworks, cadences, reporting — to the shape of your business.
