What actually happens at startups
Compliance rarely arrives when there is time. Here are the typical triggers, and the pragmatic path behind each.
Term sheet is close, the lead sends a compliance section in DD. You have 8 employees and no ISMS setup. Without an answer, the round slips.
Mit Kopexa
Lite plan live in 14 days, automated gap analysis, policy templates ready. You walk into DD with a documented status.
The first six-figure deal is in procurement and asks for SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001. Sales can't move until the evidence is in.
Mit Kopexa
ISO 27001 roadmap with all 93 Annex A controls, SOC 2 via OSCAL on top. Auditor workspace included.
20 people regularly process personal data automatically, which makes you DPO-mandatory (§ 38 BDSG) without noticing. Investors see it in DD anyway.
Mit Kopexa
Check the obligation in 60 sec, optionally match a Partner DPO from the network. ROPA templates ready.
Click a category and see which controls are missing. Prioritized tasks instead of 200-page PDFs.
This is what an ISO 27001 programme looks like in Kopexa. Activate framework, work through controls, track progress.
| Control | Status | Evidence | |
|---|---|---|---|
Information security policies A.5 | Fulfilled | 4/4 | |
Organization of information security A.6 | Fulfilled | 6/6 | |

Asset management A.8 | Partial | 7/12 | |
Incident management A.5.24 | Partial | 2/5 | |
