Security Questionnaires A growing company answers the same questions, in different formats, for every prospect — SIG, CAIQ, and a long tail of custom spreadsheets. Axipro’s team handles them for you, so your security and sales people get their time back and your buyers get answers fast. SOC 2 HIPPA ISO 27001 GDPR PCI DSS Schedule Free ASsessment Trusted by 300+ companies How it Works: Intake Send us the questionnaire — SIG, CAIQ, or a customer’s own format. We log it and confirm the deadline. Map to Existing Evidence We match each question against your current controls, policies, and certifications so anything already documented is answered without rework. Draft the Response Our team writes accurate, consistent answers in the buyer’s required format. Review and Return You approve, we finalize, and the completed questionnaire goes back to your customer on time. Our Security Questionnaire Service Axipro runs your security questionnaires for you, end to end. Our team takes the inbound request, maps it against the evidence and controls you already have, drafts accurate responses, and routes anything genuinely new back to you — so you’re only ever answering net-new questions, not re-typing what you’ve already proven. You stay in control of what gets shared and with whom. We do the repetitive work that was eating your team’s week. This pairs naturally with the compliance work we already do. If we’ve helped you reach SOC 2 or ISO 27001, the evidence behind those certifications is exactly what most questionnaires are asking for — so the answers are already there to reuse. What's Included Dedicated questionnaire support from Axipro's security team Response drafting for SIG, SIG Lite, CAIQ, and custom questionnaires Mapping to your existing controls, policies, and certifications A clear list of only the net-new questions that need your input Format-matched, customer-ready responses returned on deadline Optional: Trust Center setup to deflect repeat requests Optional: outbound vendor assessment support Compliance Without the Headache. Not sure which approach fits your environment? Schedule your free assessment today Schedule Frequently Asked Questions What questionnaire formats do you handle? Standardized ones like SIG, SIG Lite, and CAIQ, plus custom questionnaires in a customer’s own format. Do I have to answer everything myself? No. We answer everything already covered by your existing controls and certifications, and only send you the genuinely new questions. Do I need to be SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified first? It helps — your certification evidence answers most questions automatically — but it isn’t required to start.

SOC 2 evaluates how service organizations protect customer data across five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Available as Type I (point-in-time) or Type II (over a period), with Type II preferred for enterprise deals. Learn how we implement it → ISO 27001 The global gold standard for information security. ISO 27001 demonstrates that your organization systematically protects sensitive data through a comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS). Required by enterprise customers worldwide and the foundation for most other security frameworks. Learn how we implement it → HIPAA The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act establishes mandatory privacy and security standards for protected health information (PHI) in the United States. HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and any business associates handling PHI on their behalf. Learn how we implement it → ISO 27701 An extension of ISO 27001 specifically focused on privacy management. ISO 27701 helps organizations implement a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) that demonstrates compliance with global privacy regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and others. Certification proves systematic, ongoing privacy management. Learn how we implement it → PCI DSS The mandatory security standard for any organization that processes, stores, or transmits credit card data. PCI DSS establishes 12 core requirements covering network security, data protection, vulnerability management, and access controls. Non-compliance can result in heavy fines, increased transaction fees, and loss of card processing privileges. Learn how we implement it → GDPR The world's most comprehensive data protection law, governing how organizations collect, process, store, and transfer personal data of EU residents. GDPR applies regardless of where your company is based—if you serve EU customers, you must comply. Violations can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global revenue.

Most published SOC 2 price ranges lump readiness and the audit into one number, which is why so many first-time budgets come up short. This guide breaks readiness into its real line items, shows what pushes each one up or down, and gives three sample budgets you can adapt. Quick summary SOC 2 readiness costs most SaaS companies $12,000 to $50,000 at seed stage and $50,000 to $140,000 at Series A or B in 2026, excluding the independent CPA audit fee. The cost most budgets miss is internal time: 300 hours of engineering and operations work is worth about $18,600 in wages at the US median for information security analysts. What SOC 2 readiness covers, and what it leaves out SOC 2 readiness is everything a company does to get its controls designed, implemented and evidenced before an independent CPA firm starts the examination. That means the gap assessment, policy writing, technical remediation, tooling, a pre-audit penetration test, training, and the internal hours it takes Read more SOC-2 November 5, 2026 Best A-LIGN Alternatives for Startups in 2026 A-LIGN issues more SOC 2 reports than any other firm, and its scale shapes who it suits. The firm is set up for companies running several audits a year across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST and FedRAMP. Most seed to Series B startups need much less than that. They need someone to get them audit-ready fast, and an auditor sized for a first report that an enterprise buyer will accept. This guide compares 11 A-LIGN alternatives for startups. Some are readiness partners that build your compliance program, some are automation platforms that collect evidence, one is a platform with its own audit firm, and three are startup-focused CPA firms that sign the report. You’ll find reported 2026 pricing, realistic timelines, how to switch auditors without a gap in coverage, and the cases where A-LIGN is still the better pick. TL;DR: Top A-LIGN Alternatives for Startups The best A-LIGN alternative for most startups is a pairing rather than a single vendor: a readiness partner or compliance platform builds the program, and a startup-focused CPA firm signs the report. A-LIGN only comes out ahead when you need FedRAMP, CMMC, HITRUST, or PCI DSS assessed alongside SOC 2.

It asks for one of them, a SOC 2 Type 2 report or an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate, and only once you reach Gold or Platinum in the Marketplace Partner Program or go after the new Atlassian Enterprise Certified badge. What trips most partners up is timing. Atlassian reviews partner levels every July, your evidence has to exist before July 1, and you can’t rush a SOC 2 Type 2 report. Below you’ll find what each program requires, which standard to pick, how to scope the audit around your app, the controls auditors push hardest on, and a timeline that gets you certified before your next review. Why Atlassian Marketplace Partners Now Need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 For years, a Marketplace app’s security story was really Atlassian’s story. Customers trusted Jira and Confluence, and the apps came along for the ride. Enterprise buyers don’t see it that way anymore, and neither does Atlassian. Enterprise Procurement and Vendor Security Reviews of Marketplace Apps Enterprise security teams treat a Marketplace app like any other vendor. Signing off on Jira doesn’t mean signing off on the reporting or time-tracking app Read more AI November 2, 2026 Shadow AI Detection: Why CASB & DLP Miss AI Tool Usage Shadow AI appeared in security incidents at 43% of breached organizations in IBM’s 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report, up from 20% a year earlier. Those incidents averaged $5.39 million, against a global average of $4.99 million. Plenty of the organizations involved already ran a CASB, a DLP program, or both. The tools were on, and the traffic got through anyway. Shadow AI detection finds the AI tools, embedded AI features, and agents employees use without security approval. AI tool usage tracking is the continuous program built on top of it, and neither is the same problem as SaaS discovery. This guide covers what tracking actually requires, where CASB and DLP fail, which categories of AI usage slip through, which detection methods work, and how the output becomes evidence for ISO 42001 certification and the EU AI Act. What AI Tool Usage Tracking Actually Means Most teams that say they “track AI usage” mean they can see that someone visited chat.openai.com. That is app discovery, and it answers almost none of the questions a security or governance team actually needs answered. Beyond App Discovery: Tracking Prompts, Data Flows, and Model Interactions Real tracking covers three layers. First, which tools Read more ISO-27001 November 1, 2026 ISO 27001 Certification Cost in 2026: Full Breakdown Most companies pursuing ISO 27001 certification for the first time will spend between $10,000 and $50,000 in year one, and far less than half of that goes to the auditor. A 50-person SaaS company typically pays $10,000 to $22,000 in certification body fees alone, then doubles or triples that figure in implementation work, tooling, and internal hours before the Stage 2 audit even begins. The wide range exists because ISO 27001 certification cost is not a price tag; it is the sum of a dozen separate decisions: your scope, your security maturity, your certification body, and whether you build the ISMS yourself, hire a consultant, or run it through a compliance automation platform. This article breaks down every one of those costs, stage by stage and region by region, including the ones that never appear in vendor quotes. Startups under 50 employees can price the readiness work up front. Axipro’s Achievement Plan starts at $4,000 for companies of that size. That fee covers the implementation work, not the certification body’s audit, which is billed separately and is the other large line in your budget. The sections below show what each piece costs and where fixed-fee readiness fits. What Determines ISO Read more PENTEST October 31, 2026 VAPT Report Guide: What It Includes & How to Write One A Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing report is the final deliverable where weeks of security testing either turn into action or quietly fade away in a company’s digital archive. The testing finds the holes, and the report decides whether anyone fixes them. Get it wrong, and you have an expensive PDF that satisfies an auditor and protects nobody. Get it right, and you have a prioritized plan that tells your team exactly what to fix first and why it matters, saving you a lot of money in avoided security breaches in the long run. This guide covers what a VAPT report is, what belongs in it, how to write one that holds up under scrutiny, and how it ties into the certifications most businesses actually care about. What Is a VAPT Report? VAPT stands for Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. The report is the document that captures everything the testing uncovered: the weaknesses, how serious each one is, which an attacker could realistically exploit, and what to do about them. The two halves do different jobs. A vulnerability assessment is broad and largely automated. It scans systems, networks, and applications to produce a prioritized list of known weaknesses, without trying Read more FAQ Frequently Asked Questions What is Axipro’s core expertise?
