Enterprise Deals Stalled at "Show Us SOC 2"
This payments company was growing fast. Their product was solid, their pipeline was healthy, and two seven-figure enterprise contracts were sitting in legal - waiting on a SOC 2 Type II report that didn't exist yet.
They'd been meaning to tackle compliance for six months. They kept pushing it. Then the deadline became real: the auditor had a slot in six weeks, and if they weren't ready, they'd wait three months. Three months meant losing both deals.
- Enterprise prospects kept asking for SOC 2 before signing. Two deals were on hold.
- No security hire on staff. Bringing one in would take months and cost $120K minimum.
- Manual evidence collection from 11 different SaaS tools. Spreadsheets everywhere.
- Their auditor had a three-month backlog. Time was already short.
Aegis Ran the Entire Evidence Collection
Their head of engineering spent half a day setting up Aegis. After that, the agent did the rest. No compliance consultant. No spreadsheets. No late nights clicking through dashboards.
- Connected Aegis to their AWS, GitHub, Notion, and GSuite environments in one afternoon.
- Automated evidence collection ran overnight - 200+ controls mapped without a single manual screenshot.
- Aegis flagged 12 gaps that would have caused audit findings. All fixed before the auditor saw anything.
- Continuous monitoring stayed on after certification so they never fall out of compliance.
“We went from zero compliance posture to audit-ready in 6 weeks. Our auditor said it was the cleanest evidence package he'd seen from a startup.”
- Head of Engineering, Series B FinTech (anonymous)
