"Our biggest customer just sent us a 247-question security questionnaire. We have no GRC person and no SOC 2."

Compliance at SMBs is reactive panic. A customer asks for a SOC 2. An insurance broker asks about access controls. The board asks 'are we covered?' — and nobody actually knows.

Most SMB compliance products are built for SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audits — overkill for a 30-person company. You don't need a $40K Vanta contract. You need someone watching the basics: who has access, are vendors reviewed, is the IR plan up to date.

ComplianceByDesign starts with 14 SMB-relevant General Business Controls. It evaluates them automatically against your real HR data, vendor list, and policy attestations. When you grow into SOC 2 / ISO / HIPAA territory, opt those frameworks in. You're not paying for what you don't need.

ComplianceByDesign is an autonomous agent. It does the work. You stay in control of the decisions.

ComplianceByDesign replaces 80% of a GRC analyst's workflow.

Real automations. Not feature checklists. Not prompts you have to write. The agent runs on a schedule and you review the work.

14 SMB-Relevant Controls (Built In)

General Business Controls covering access, vendors, incident response, and policy attestations. Real automation, not just checkboxes.

Automated Internal Data Checks

Active accounts vs. HR roster. Offboarding latency. Vendor DD freshness. IR plan review cadence. Policy attestation coverage. Evaluated on a schedule.

Vendor Risk Inventory + Due Diligence

Track every vendor: criticality, data access, last DD review, contract dates. Agent flags renewals and stale reviews.

Evidence Collection From Other Products

Training completion (Learning), policy attestation (Knowledge), access logs (HR) all flow in as evidence. One control = many sources.

Audit Package Builder

Generate auditor-ready package on demand. Token-based public auditor portal. Findings tracked. Remediation queued.

Public Trust Center

Slug-based public trust page: trust.yourcompany.com. Lists controls, certifications, security posture. Sales team's secret weapon.

Opt-In: SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI

Hidden by default. Enable when a customer asks or you're ready to certify. All control mappings preserved.

Policy Builder + Attestation

Draft policies. Push attestation to employees. Track signatures. Roll forward yearly. No more 'we have a policy somewhere.'

From spreadsheet to autopilot in a week.

No implementation team. No 90-day rollout. The agent's running by Friday.
