Frequently Asked Questions

Navigate the complex world of cybersecurity with confidence and clarity.

What exactly does SecureLeap offer?

SecureLeap delivers productized cybersecurity and regulatory compliance solutions built for speed and scale. We help startups achieve SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA certification, along with penetration testing, virtual CISO leadership, and full audit facilitation – everything you need to build trust and prove security maturity fast.

Who are your typical clients?

We partner with high-growth SaaS, fintech, healthtech, and B2B startups – typically from seed through Series B – that need reliable business compliance services to close enterprise deals and meet customer security expectations.

What makes SecureLeap different from other consultants?

We’re not traditional consultants – we’re the driving force behind your next phase. Our compliance model blends automation and expert oversight to deliver faster, more predictable outcomes. It’s a repeatable system designed to scale with your company, not slow it down.

How long does it take to get SOC 2 certified?

SOC 2 Type I can be done in as little as three months, and Type II usually takes six to twelve. Our prebuilt frameworks and automation accelerate the process – no wasted motion, no red tape.

Do you handle ISO 27001 certification?

Yes. We implement your ISMS, prepare you for the external audit, and guide you through year-round compliance maintenance. Our business compliance services make ISO 27001 achievable for lean, fast-moving teams.

Can you set up our Drata, Vanta, or Secureframe environment?

Absolutely. We specialize in implementation – configuring integrations, automating evidence collection, and optimizing your platform for real compliance results.

What’s included in penetration testing?

Our penetration testing service includes full-scope assessments, controlled exploitation, detailed remediation plans, and free retests. Every deliverable aligns with SOC 2 and ISO auditor requirements – no automated report dumps.

Do you provide ongoing compliance maintenance?

Yes. We offer continuous compliance programs that include monitoring, policy updates, and audit readiness – turning compliance into a competitive advantage, rather than a once-a-year chore.

Can SecureLeap serve as our CISO?

Yes. Through our virtual CISO service, you gain senior-level security leadership – strategic guidance, risk management, and board-ready expertise – at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. We support global clients and tailor compliance programs to your jurisdiction, customer base, and industry-specific regulatory requirements.

How much does it cost?

Our pricing is transparent and modular – based on your company’s size, goals, and frameworks. You pay only for what you need – no bloated retainers, no hidden fees.

Is penetration testing required for SOC 2?

Not technically – but enterprise customers often expect it. A penetration testing service adds measurable proof of your security posture and helps strengthen your overall compliance report.

Do you help with risk assessments?

Yes. Every engagement includes a risk assessment aligned with ISO 27001 Annex A and SOC 2 trust principles – helping you identify, document, and mitigate risks with clarity.

Can SecureLeap train our employees?

Yes. We deliver security awareness and compliance training, so your team knows how to protect sensitive data and maintain compliance day to day.

Do you provide templates and documentation?

Yes. Every program includes policy templates, audit documentation, and evidence libraries customized for your tech stack and workflows.

Can you help with multiple frameworks at once?

Yes. We often combine SOC 2 and ISO 27001 programs for clients who serve both US and EU markets – reducing duplicate effort and accelerating certification.

Is SecureLeap suitable for early-stage startups?

Absolutely. We scale scope and cost to your current maturity – helping you build a strong compliance foundation from the start.

Do you guarantee certification?

No one can guarantee certification – but our 100% client success rate says everything. Follow our roadmap, and you’ll pass.

How soon should we start compliance?

Before enterprise sales or fundraising. Early compliance builds trust, eliminates friction, and keeps revenue opportunities moving.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. Your first consultation includes a full compliance readiness review and personalized roadmap – no cost, no obligation.
