Why we exist
Startup compliance breaks in the handoff between proof and ownership.
Most early compliance work does not fail because teams do not care. It fails because the operating loop is scattered. Evidence lives in screenshots, exports, cloud settings, shared folders, and Slack threads. Ownership is fuzzy. Audit readiness becomes a burst of manual work instead of something the team can actually maintain.
Liance is designed to make that loop calmer. The goal is to help startup teams collect proof, map it to real controls, turn gaps into owned work, and keep the whole process readable before audit pressure forces a bigger tooling decision.
Who it is for
Built first for lean B2B teams preparing for SOC 2.
The first version of Liance is built for startups preparing for SOC 2, especially teams handling their first audit cycle or trying to keep renewals moving without a dedicated compliance department.
- Founders who need a cleaner path to enterprise readiness.
- Engineering and security leads carrying compliance work on top of everything else.
- Operations teams replacing spreadsheet-heavy audit prep with a more durable workflow.

A readiness layer, not a fake auditor or giant rollout.
Liance is not trying to impersonate the auditor, and it is not trying to become a heavyweight GRC rollout on day one. It is a readiness layer: a place to keep evidence grounded, control status clear, and remediation work moving before the process becomes expensive and noisy.
That means the product is opinionated about clarity, ownership, and proof. If something is not linked to evidence or does not have a clear next step, it probably should not pretend to be done.
