About SecurityDocs
SOC 2 compliance guidance built from real-world experience, not theory.
Our Story
SecurityDocs was born from the frustration of navigating SOC 2 compliance at a bootstrapped SaaS company. Like many startups, we faced the reality of needing enterprise-grade security without enterprise budgets.
We built comprehensive security programs using tools like Vanta, implemented controls, and provided security attestations to customers. We learned what actually matters in practice - not just what looks good on paper. We experienced firsthand the gap between "compliance theory" and "implementation reality."
SecurityDocs reflects that real-world experience. These aren't generic templates copied from frameworks - they're the actual policies, documents, and guidance we wish we'd had when starting our compliance journey.
What Makes Us Different
Real Implementation Experience
Our templates come from actually building and operating security programs, not just reading the frameworks. We know what works in practice because we've done it.
Honest About the Challenges
We don't pretend compliance is easy or cheap. We're upfront about the bootstrap realities many startups face - because we've been there. Our goal is to make it more manageable, not to oversell quick fixes.
Built for Bootstrappers
We understand the "do more with less" mentality. Our templates help you implement professional-grade compliance without paying consultant rates for every document.
Practical Over Perfect
We focus on what actually moves the needle in compliance. Not every company needs a 50-page policy when a 10-page version addresses the same controls effectively.
Our Approach to Compliance
We're not compliance auditors or lawyers. We're operators who've built security programs and navigated the compliance journey. That perspective shapes everything we create.
Our templates reflect what we learned works in practice: policies that teams actually follow, documentation that auditors actually accept, and guidance that answers the questions we had when starting out.
We believe compliance doesn't have to be overwhelming. With the right templates, clear guidance, and honest expectations, companies can achieve SOC 2 certification without breaking the bank or losing months to consultant dependencies.
Who Uses Our Templates
Early-Stage Startups
Companies moving upmarket to enterprise customers who are encountering SOC 2 requirements for the first time.
Bootstrapped SaaS
Self-funded companies that need professional compliance documentation without enterprise consulting budgets.
Technical Founders
CTOs and technical co-founders who understand security but need help with compliance documentation and audit preparation.
Security Teams
Small security teams at growing companies who need to implement SOC 2 alongside their other responsibilities.
What We're Not
We're not auditors. We can't audit your company or issue SOC 2 reports. You'll still need to hire a qualified audit firm when you're ready for certification.
We're not consultants. We provide templates and guidance, not hands-on implementation services. Our templates save you from paying consultant rates for documentation.
We're not lawyers. Our templates aren't legal advice. Review everything with your legal team to ensure it fits your specific situation.
Our Commitment
Honest positioning: We share what we know from experience, not what sounds impressive.
Practical guidance: Our templates and advice focus on what actually works in real companies.
Continuous improvement: We update our templates based on feedback and evolving best practices.
Responsive support: We're here to answer questions about implementing our templates.
