The CISO's command center: access control (RBAC + SSO), audit trails, approval workflows, SOC 2 / SOX / GDPR compliance tracking, vulnerability scans, incident response, vendor risk, PII inventory, and contract lifecycle management.

We give you 80% of their capability at pre-seed pricing, inside your ops platform
Seed–Series B founders who just got a procurement security questionnaire for the first time. First-time CISOs standing up security posture from zero. Technical co-founders who can't justify hiring a compliance consultant yet but need to pass SOC 2 in the next 90 days.
If you're at Series C+ with a dedicated CISO and a Vanta contract already, you probably don't need us in this domain — but the rest of BurnRateOS (runway, CRM, CRO/CFO/CEO coaches) might still be a fit.
