Context

We make a workflow automation tool that teams can self-host or use as a hosted service. We grew past the point where engineers could run internal IT on the side, and are building that function now.

Needs

Identity & access management. Laptops, accounts and access across a remote team on two continents are managed ad hoc with no central lifecycle.

Today: one IT and security lead inside operations manages workforce identity and devices with productivity suites · Urgency: this year

SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation. We hold one attestation and want an international certification next, without building every policy from a blank page.

Today: annual independent audit; public summary report and detailed report shared only with enterprise buyers · Urgency: this year

Internal AI agents & automation. We want staff to use internally hosted language models safely for productivity instead of unmanaged consumer tools.

Today: builds its own workflow agent product; internal agent governance not publicly described · Urgency: later
