Client Overview
Outmarket is a California-based AI startup (~50+ employees) delivering automation and intelligence solutions for the insurance ecosystem. As the company scaled toward enterprise customers, compliance requirements accelerated—particularly SOC 2 Type II certification, which became a contractual requirement for multi-year enterprise deals.
The Business & Security Challenge
Outmarket faced a critical inflection point. Enterprise demand was accelerating, but a high-value customer required SOC 2 Type II compliance—not just Type I—before finalizing a multi-year contract. Without a SOC 2 Type II report demonstrating operating effectiveness over time, the deal—and future enterprise pipeline—was at risk.
The startup's situation was high-stakes and time-sensitive:
- Revenue Blocker: Enterprise required SOC 2 Type II—not just Type I—for contract execution
- Compressed Timeline: Needed to fast-track readiness and complete the observation period
- No Dedicated GRC Function: Security ownership distributed across engineering leadership
- Control Gaps: Inconsistent logging, incomplete access controls, limited vendor risk management
- Audit Complexity: Type II required sustained evidence of control operation—not just design
Like many scaling SaaS companies, they needed more than guidance—they needed execution.
Securify AI Engagement
Securify AI acted as a fractional vCISO and execution partner, owning the compliance program end-to-end. The engagement combined:
- Strategic oversight: Risk-based roadmap aligned to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria
- Deep technical implementation: Cloud, identity, and monitoring infrastructure
- Audit orchestration: Evidence collection, auditor coordination, and walkthroughs
The engagement followed a minimum viable compliance (MVC) → operational maturity model—ensuring speed without compromising audit quality.
Our SOC 2 Type II Approach
Securify AI executed a comprehensive, end-to-end SOC 2 Type II program covering readiness, control implementation, evidence collection, and audit execution.
1. SOC 2 Gap Assessment & Risk-Based Roadmap
- Conducted comprehensive SOC 2 readiness assessment
- Identified gaps across identity & access management, logging, cloud security, and vendor risk
- Built prioritized remediation roadmap aligned to audit-critical controls
This assessment provided clarity on the path to compliance and prioritized effort on controls that would have the highest impact on audit success.
2. Hands-On Technical Control Implementation
- Hardened AWS infrastructure (IAM, encryption, logging, network segmentation)
- Implemented centralized logging and alerting
- Enforced least-privilege access and MFA across all systems
- Deployed endpoint security and vulnerability management
- Led third-party penetration test and remediation
Unlike advisory-only engagements, Securify AI led full implementation, ensuring controls were operationally effective—not just documented.
3. Policy Framework & Governance
- Developed complete SOC 2-aligned policy suite (InfoSec, Access, Incident Response, Vendor Risk, Change Management)
- Operationalized policies across teams
- Conducted employee security awareness and policy adoption training
Policies were embedded into day-to-day workflows, ensuring controls remained effective beyond the audit period.
4. Evidence Collection & Type II Readiness
- Built structured evidence repository mapped to SOC 2 controls
- Automated evidence collection where possible
- Ensured controls operated consistently across observation period
- Conducted internal readiness reviews and mock audits
Evidence collection was systematic and audit-ready, eliminating last-minute scrambling and reducing auditor friction.
5. Audit Execution & Support
- Coordinated directly with the audit firm
- Managed audit requests and real-time responses
- Supported walkthroughs and control validation
- Eliminated audit friction through proactive preparation
Securify AI owned auditor coordination, ensuring seamless communication and eliminating delays.
Results & Business Impact
SOC 2 Type II achieved successfully within an accelerated timeline
Zero major audit findings, with clean control validation
Enterprise deal closed immediately post-certification
Established scalable compliance foundation for future frameworks
Measurable Business & Security Outcomes
Why This Matters for High-Growth SaaS
For high-growth startups, SOC 2 Type II is often the difference between stalled deals and scalable revenue. Enterprise customers view SOC 2 Type II as table stakes for security partnerships—and without it, sales cycles stall and revenue stays on the table.
This engagement demonstrates how rapid, execution-focused compliance programs—combined with hands-on technical implementation—help SaaS companies move from fragmented controls to audit-ready operations in record time.
The key differentiator: Securify AI didn't just advise on compliance. We built it, owned it, and delivered audit success.
Looking Ahead

- ISO 27001 alignment
- Continuous compliance automation
- Advanced security monitoring and detection
