Enterprise buyers won't sign contracts without a SOC 2 report. Investors expect security maturity before Series A. Healthcare customers require HIPAA compliance before a pilot. But building an internal compliance team at the startup stage means diverting budget from engineering, product, and sales — the exact functions that drive survival.
Most startups face an impossible choice: hire a compliance lead and slow down product, or delay certification and lose deals. Agency eliminates that choice entirely.
Agency deploys forward-deployed AI agents directly into your infrastructure — AWS, Azure, GCP, Okta, JumpCloud, CrowdStrike — and operates your compliance program end-to-end. No dashboards to learn, no workflows to manage, no compliance team to hire.
Your First Compliance Hire Is an AI Operations Team — Agency functions as your entire security and compliance department. From control implementation to evidence collection to audit preparation, Agency's engineers and AI agents handle everything while your team builds product.
Audit-Ready in Weeks — Agency's Verse C2 platform orchestrates your compliance stack from day one. Controls are implemented, evidence is collected continuously, and your GRC platform (Vanta or Drata) stays green without anyone on your team touching it.
SOC 2 Type II on Your Timeline — Agency manages the full SOC 2 lifecycle: readiness assessment, control implementation, continuous evidence collection, system description generation, and audit coordination. Walk into your first audit with complete evidence and zero open findings.
Build the Foundation for Every Framework — start with SOC 2, and every control Agency implements maps forward to ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and HITRUST through Armada PSCO. Your first certification builds the foundation for every market you'll enter.
Self-service platforms like Vanta and Drata are powerful tools — and Agency integrates with both. But a platform alone doesn't operate your compliance program. It creates a dashboard. You still need someone to implement controls, fix failures, collect evidence, and prepare for audits.
Agency is the team that does that work. Forward-deployed AI agents and engineers operate your compliance infrastructure through Vanta or Drata, so the platform is always current, always green, and always audit-ready — without your team doing the operational work.
Platform = dashboard. Agency = operations.
