For Startups

SOC 2 in 11 Weeks. Not 11 Months.

QAE is the fastest, most transparent path to SOC 2 Type II — built for startups that need compliance to close enterprise deals, not slow them down.

The Startup Compliance Problem

Your Biggest Deal Is Waiting on Your SOC 2.

You’ve built a great product. The enterprise prospect loves it. Then the security questionnaire arrives. Sound familiar?

6–9 months for SOC 2 without automation

Manual compliance eats your engineering team alive. QAE automates 80% of evidence collection and cuts your timeline to 11 weeks.

💲
$80K–$200K without the right platform

Consulting fees, auditor costs, and engineering time add up fast. QAE’s Launchpad plan starts at $7,497/yr — transparent, all-in pricing.

🔒
No CISO, no compliance team

QAE’s AI Co-Pilot and policy templates give any founder the tools to run a world-class compliance program without dedicated staff.

📋
Vendor questionnaires eating your week

Every enterprise deal triggers a security questionnaire. QAE’s AI responds automatically in minutes — not days of founder time.
