Aidaptive takes 5–50 person AWS-native startups from first scan to audit-ready in 6–8 weeks: automated scanning across 30+ controls, a senior AWS security engineer who fixes what fails, and evidence organized the way your auditor asks for it. Fixed price, quoted after the scan.
No pitch deck. We look at your stack and tell you exactly what an audit would flag.
How it works
01 · WEEKS 1–2
You deploy a read-only role — scoped, external-ID protected, revocable anytime. We sweep IAM, logging, encryption, and network posture, then interview you on the process side.
02 · WEEKS 2–6
A hardened security baseline deploys alongside your stack as infrastructure-as-code you own. Fixes inside your application go to your engineers as exact-fix tickets — we never touch your app code.
03 · WEEKS 5–7
Every control mapped to proof, collected automatically and organized to your auditor's request list before they ask.
04 · WEEK 8+
We run a mock audit first, introduce you to a vetted CPA firm, and handle auditor questions so they never land on your roadmap.
Pricing
The full scan plus a prioritized gap report mapped to the Trust Services Criteria, with effort estimates and your fixed readiness quote. Yours to keep either way.
Start with the assessmentBaseline deployment, a complete policy library your team will actually follow, remediation, evidence repository, mock audit, and hand-off to a vetted auditor.
Book a scoping callContinuous monitoring, automated evidence through your Type 2 window, async Slack support, and quarterly reviews.
Ask about maintenanceIf your Type 1 report comes back qualified on any control we implemented, the engagement continues at no charge until it's clean. We can put that in the contract because every in-scope criterion is mapped to an implemented control with evidence before fieldwork starts.
Common questions
Keep it — we work alongside any compliance platform. Dashboards tell you which controls are failing; they don't fix your IAM policies, write policies your team will follow, or manage your auditor. Most first-audit teams end up hiring engineering help anyway — usually after six months of red checkmarks. We're that help, priced up front.
Read-only, via a scoped IAM role you deploy from our template — external-ID protected, CloudTrail-logged, revocable by you at any time. We carry E&O and cyber liability insurance, and anything inside your application code goes to your engineers as a ticket. We never ship changes to an app we didn't build.
SOC 2 isn't pass/fail — it's an attestation, and the deliverable is a CPA's opinion. What we commit to in writing: every in-scope criterion maps to a working control with evidence before fieldwork, and if your Type 1 opinion is qualified on a control we implemented, we keep working at no charge until it's clean.
Best fit: a 5–50 person AWS-native SaaS startup pursuing its first SOC 2 (Security criteria), with an executive sponsor and a little engineering capacity for app-level fixes. Not a fit right now: multi-cloud or significant on-prem estates, or bundled HIPAA/FedRAMP programs — we'd rather tell you that in the first call than discover it in week four.
