Security compliance for startups
Secfix takes you from 0% to 100% compliant, automates up to 90% of your manual work, and opens the deals you are building toward.
No compliance experience needed. Just follow the plan.
Secfix gives you the full project plan: gap assessment, implementation, internal audit, external audit, then maintenance. Every phase shows what happens next and who owns it, so you are never guessing what to do on Monday morning.
Evidence collects itself through 100+ integrations, and auditor-approved templates mean nobody starts from a blank page. No compliance hire required.
Grow the team. Add the standards your buyer asks for.
Hire as fast as you want, because your compliance work does not grow with your team size. New joiners get their policies, security training, and platform access on day one. Every new laptop can be checked the moment it arrives.
Your buyers and regulators rarely stop at one standard. Whether the second one is ISO 27001, SOC 2, or NIS 2, your controls already carry across.
Your next buyer asks tomorrow. Answer them today.
From the day you kick off, you can publish your Trust Center on your own website with your progress and a signed Letter of Attestation. This means prospects can run their full security review before your certificate exists and your pipeline doesn’t get blocked by compliance.
When a buyer sends a security questionnaire, Secfix drafts the answers from your own policies instead of you starting over each time.

FAQs
Which compliance framework does a startup need first?
The one your buyers are asking for. ISO 27001 is the framework most Secfix startup customers certify first, because it is what European mid-market and enterprise procurement and investors ask to see. SOC 2 comes first when your pipeline is mostly US companies. Because Secfix cross-maps every control, the second framework is a delta on the first rather than a fresh start.
Do startups really need ISO 27001?
It is not legally mandatory in most countries, but it is often commercially mandatory. Startups typically start when procurement says they will sign once the company is ISO 27001 certified, when they are filtered out of RFPs, or when an investor raises it in diligence. If none of those has happened yet, it is a question of when, not if.
Can you get compliant without a CISO or a compliance manager?
Yes. Most Secfix startup customers have neither. The platform sequences the work and a dedicated Customer Success Manager guides you throughout the process. For teams that want someone to own security outright, Secfix offers an extended support program.
How much does compliance cost for a startup?
The price for the Secfix subscription depends highly on your technical set up and your scope. The audit itself is billed separately by the certification body, and that fee scales with your headcount and scope. Compliance is an ongoing commitment rather than a one-off purchase, so budget for annual surveillance audits and for maintaining the ISMS afterwards.
How long does ISO 27001 take for a startup?
It depends on your scope, how many controls you already have in place, and how quickly your team reviews policies and provides evidence. Manual implementation with a consultant takes considerably longer than a compliance automation platform. For verified examples: Orianda achieved ISO 27001 certification in 4 weeks with Secfix, and Tanso in 3 months.
Do you need an MDM to pass the audit?
No. Auditors need evidence that company devices are encrypted, locked, and protected, not evidence that you bought a specific tool. The Secfix agent installs on Mac, Windows, and Linux laptops and checks disk encryption, screen lock, password manager, and antivirus continuously. That satisfies the control without an MDM purchase.
Can a startup prove security before the ISO 27001 certification is complete?
Yes, and it is usually what moves a stalled deal. From kickoff, Secfix customers can publish a Trust Center on their own website showing live compliance progress and a signed Letter of Attestation from Secfix. Prospects request access, see real evidence, and often proceed with the contract before the ISO 27001 certificate is issued.
