Startups face unique challenges when it comes to compliance and security. Multiple frameworks, evolving regulations, and audit prep can easily overwhelm a small team. You may be juggling:

  • Multiple frameworks across industries, enterprise customers, or regions

  • Strict regulatory expectations requiring mature processes

  • Evolving security requirements as cyber risks shift and standards change

  • Decisions about team resources — adding headcount isn’t always the answer

  • Continuous monitoring and audit prep that pull focus from growth

Could we have gotten GDPR without Trava? Maybe. But it would have required lots of figuring things out on my own.

Given Trava’s expertise, it would be tough to find a CISO with the same combined experience.

I came across Trava, and I liked the fact that it was all one package, because some of the other security companies that I talked to were primarily vCISO organizations only.

While we had all the technical components in place, we realized that we needed additional support to organize and prioritize our audit responses to align with the framework. The Trava team was a great partner for bringing best practice and prioritization expertise.

Trava didn’t just help us achieve compliance with the first audit. They helped us build a strategy to do this every year so that we can grow our mission and keep partnering alongside the clients who place kids with families.

If we didn’t have Trava, the process would’ve been a much longer haul. Their support was instrumental in guiding us through efficiently, ensuring we didn’t get bogged down in complexities. Having a vCISO in our back pocket when needed added invaluable reassurance.

We have not lost a single deal during the security process. The only deal we ever lost due to security was pre-Trava. Trava is helping us earn new enterprise business and renew customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What compliance frameworks should a startup consider?
It depends on your industry and target customers. Common frameworks include SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. Trava helps startups identify which frameworks are relevant and builds a roadmap to get audit-ready efficiently.

2. How long does it take for a startup to become compliant?
Startups working with Trava often go from zero to audit-ready in weeks, not months. Timelines depend on your current systems and maturity, but our team accelerates the process.

3. Do we need a dedicated security team to get compliant?
Not necessarily. Services like our Virtual CISO (vCISO) provide expert security guidance without adding full-time staff, helping you build a strong security posture from day one.

CaaS means Trava manages the entire compliance journey for you — from scoping frameworks to evidence collection and audit support — letting your team focus on product and growth.

Penetration testing identifies security weaknesses before attackers do, helping protect customer data, satisfy enterprise requirements, and strengthen your security posture.
