Two-thirds of startups don’t believe their security and compliance are up to scratch. And you can get by until the moment when you’re on the brink of massive success. Vanta sales engineer Oscar Watson-Smith sees it all the time, when founders come to him in a state of panic when they’re trying to scale quickly and win over ‘whale’ clients. That’s when they hit the same roadblock. They don’t have their security and compliance up to scratch. SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA don’t sound exciting but they’re things government and major corporations look for before they’ll take a risk on doing business with an emerging startup, no matter how good the solution might be or how much it’s needed. So how do you get your security frameworks in order to speed up your sales cycle? Oscar explains below. 

Security & Compliance - why startups must play the long game?🛡️ Here’s the thing: succeeding in this space isn’t about quick wins. It’s about playing the long game. So, how do startups ensure they’re ready for the challenges ahead while remaining agile and scalable? It boils down to two key factors: 1️⃣ Integrated Platforms Managing multiple tools often creates inefficiencies and gaps in compliance. By integrating all compliance processes into a single platform, startups can streamline efforts, save time, and focus on growth while staying audit-ready. 2️⃣ Continuous Compliance Compliance isn’t a once-a-year task anymore. With risks and regulations constantly changing, continuous compliance ensures systems and data are always ready. This builds trust, reduces risk, and gives startups a competitive edge. 🚀 The Payoff Startups that prioritize integration and continuous compliance set themselves up for long-term success—scaling efficiently, cutting costs, and becoming trusted partners to clients, investors, and regulators. 💡 Is your startup ready to embrace a long-term compliance strategy? Let’s discuss how integrating these principles into your processes can unlock new growth opportunities. #Security #Compliance #Startups #ContinuousCompliance #Innovation

At Onteigo, we're all about creative collaboration—not unnecessary red tape. Unlike other data privacy solutions that drown you in bureaucracy, we take a more bespoke and strategic approach. Here's why the traditional solutions fall short: 🚫 Blanket Rules – Most providers don't take the time needed to truly understand your business operations and align with your goals. This leads to overly cautious measures that slow you down. 🚫 Lack of Strategy – They're focused on ticking compliance boxes and covering themselves, rather than being driven by helping you acheive your business goals. 🚫 Limited Scope – They address issues as they arise, instead of partnering with you long-term, to keep you protected with flexible compliance strategies that grow with your business. We’re here to partner with you, align with your vision, and build privacy strategies that not only get you compliant, but fuel your innovation and growth. #Dataprivacy #Compliance #Techstartups #Creativecollaboration #Innovation

Navigating SOC 2 Type 1 vs. Type 2? A question we get asked often by startup founders and tech company leaders is: Should you pursue a SOC 2 Type 1 before jumping into a Type 2? Here's our take: unless you have a customer that *absolutely* insists on SOC 2 Type 1 or demands a tight timeline, the truth is, for most companies, Type 1 doesn’t hold much value. Instead, consider leveraging a letter of engagement from Workstreet or a letter from your auditor. These can effectively demonstrate your compliance journey without the extra cost and time of a Type 1. So, unless you're facing an urgent customer request, my advice is to focus your energy on completing SOC 2 Type 2. It’s a more comprehensive assessment that holds more value in the market. 💪🔒 #SOC2 #Compliance #startup
