Industry Overview
Key metrics and compliance landscape.
Key Challenges
Critical security and compliance threats facing your industry.
SOC 2 Blocking Enterprise Deals
89% of Fortune 500 require SOC 2 Type II before signing contracts >$100K. Without certification, startups lose enterprise deals, delay revenue 6-18 months, and watch competitors close deals. Sales cycles stall at procurement stage with "we need to see your SOC 2 report."
Security Questionnaire Overload
Enterprise security questionnaires demand 200-500 answers about controls, policies, certifications, and incident response. Early-stage startups lack formal security programs, struggle to answer questions, delay deals 2-6 months while building documentation. Sales teams waste 40+ hours per questionnaire instead of closing deals.
Cloud Cost Overruns
Startups overprovision AWS/GCP/Azure resources by 40-60% due to lack of cost optimization expertise. Idle dev/staging environments, unoptimized database instances, oversized compute, and unused storage drain $50K-$200K annually from runway. Cloud bills grow 300% faster than revenue.
Investor Security Due Diligence
VCs perform technical due diligence during Series A/B, uncovering security gaps that tank valuations 20-40% or kill deals entirely. Common findings: no security program, customer data at risk, no encryption, no access controls, no incident response plan. Investors demand 3-6 month remediation before closing, delaying funding and burning runway.
Regulatory Landscape
Mandatory and recommended frameworks with enforcement context.
Audit: Annual Type II audit
Audit: Annual surveillance audit, 3-year recertification
Audit: Complaint-triggered or DPA investigation
