Your enterprise prospect just asked for SOC 2, and the deal won't move until they see it. We write the policies, run your GRC platform, and sit beside you on audit day, so you're ready by your deal deadline and still compliant in year two.
SOC 2 unblocks the enterprise deal. ISO 27001 opens international markets. HIPAA gets you into healthcare, and ISO 42001 answers the AI questions buyers have started asking. Start with the one your pipeline is waiting on.
The one North American enterprise buyers ask for first. Type I readiness in as little as 8 weeks.
The international standard. Readiness in 3 to 5 months, against an industry average of 6 to 12.
Required the moment your product touches PHI. We map it to controls you can actually run.
The AI management standard. If customers are asking how you govern AI, this is the answer.
Our programs include GRC platform setup, policy development, risk management, and audit support. Pick the tier that fits your team size and timeline.
A step-by-step review of your posture against the framework you're targeting. You get the full picture in about three weeks, and it becomes the foundation of your roadmap.
A dedicated squad runs your compliance end to end: policies written, evidence current, auditors coordinated. This is compliance as a service, not compliance as a scramble.
A FullStart readiness sprint takes you from zero to audit-ready on one framework. Already certified? Annual internal audits keep your ISO surveillance cycle honest.
No open-ended engagements. Every Kobalt program follows the same six-step sequence, with milestones you can plan around.
We review your pipeline, customer geography, and existing controls to identify the right framework and program tier. No prep required.
Kobalt benchmarks your current posture against the target framework. You get a prioritized remediation list with engineering effort estimates.
We configure your GRC platform, map your controls, and write your policy suite against your actual tech stack. Not templates.
Your Security Analyst works alongside your engineering team to close gaps. We prioritize by audit impact, not alphabetical order.
We select the right auditor for your program, manage the engagement, and prepare you for every question the auditor will ask.
You receive your audit report. Kobalt manages evidence collection and readiness for the next audit cycle or next framework.
GRC platforms are genuinely good at collecting evidence. But somebody still has to write the policies, fix the failing tests, and face the auditor. The platform is the tax software. We're the accountant.
