SOC 2 / ISO 27001 automation. Every new device and account must comply with our policies, and proving that during audits takes weeks.

Today: two-stage attestation done with an automation platform; report shared only under disclosure agreement · Urgency: this year

Audit evidence collection. Our security and IT team collects screenshots and exports by hand for each audit window.

Today: evidence collected automatically from cloud and code hosting, reviewed by a small security team · Urgency: later
