Most startups meet compliance the same way: a security questionnaire lands mid-deal and the whole company stops shipping for a month. This guide is the version you read before that happens — which framework to pick, when to start, what to budget, and what to automate.
Tell us where you are and we'll send dates, effort and one simple all-inclusive price — plus your Startup Access pricing.
Do not certify everything. Choose based on where your revenue comes from, then reuse the same controls for the next framework.
Start when your first enterprise deal is in the pipeline, not when it stalls. Readiness work done ahead of time is a two-week project; done under deal pressure it is a quarter of lost engineering focus and a discounted contract.
Evidence collection, not documents. Templates are cheap; keeping proof current across cloud, code, identity, devices and vendors is what actually consumes a team.
Audit costs traditionally scale with headcount and scope, and program cost is where most teams overspend. With KoComply it's one all-inclusive price — agentic GRC plus audit — and qualifying early-stage teams get exclusive Startup Access pricing, paid in stages.
Run the two-minute readiness calculator to see your gaps and estimated time-to-audit.
Agents read your website, cloud and repos to scope the program and name an owner per control.
Policies, risk register and vendor assessments are drafted for you. Your job is review and approval.
Evidence refreshes daily, drift is flagged, and questionnaires are answered from live control state.
"Compliance once felt complex and time-consuming, taking quarters of effort. With KoComply, even with basic compliance knowledge, we can now confidently manage our compliance program and make faster progress towards becoming compliant."
"As a solo founder, my focus is on building the product, not managing compliance. KoComply simplified the entire process, with AI agents automating evidence collection and saving us countless hours of manual work."
"KoComply gave me AWS and codebase compliance posture in one view with clear steps to fix each issue and auto-added remediation tags. Saved weeks of work figuring out what to fix to be compliant."
"KoComply simplified our compliance process by automating repetitive tasks, involving the right stakeholders, and providing clear, easy-to-follow guidance without the usual compliance terminologies."
"With KoComply, managing GDPR and ISO 27001 requirements became far more structured and manageable. We streamlined compliance activities, improved visibility, and moved closer to audit readiness without adding unnecessary operational overhead."
No. Small teams pass routinely because auditors size expectations to your risk. Starting small also means fewer systems to bring into scope later.
Not at this stage. Agents do the collection, drafting and chasing; a founder or engineering lead spends a few hours a week approving.
Start with the one blocking revenue today. Roughly 70% of controls carry over to the second framework.
Qualifying early-stage teams get exclusive startup pricing with the first framework included and flexible staged payments. Apply on the Startup Access page and we confirm eligibility in a couple of days. Terms and conditions apply.
One price to KoComply covers everything — agentic GRC and the audit, all inclusive. Qualifying early-stage startups get Startup Access pricing and can pay in stages.
