Frequently Asked Questions
What does SOC 2 readiness involve for a startup?
SOC 2 is a report, not a certification. An auditor tests whether your security controls are well designed (Type I) and work over time (Type II, usually a 3 to 6 month window). Readiness means policies, owners, and evidence are in place first.
Should my startup pursue SOC 2 or ISO 27001?
It depends on your buyers. US buyers usually ask for a SOC 2 report; UK, EU, and many global buyers often prefer ISO 27001. The two share many controls, so work on one carries over.
What is the free TPS Risk Snapshot?
A free, 8-minute check of your privacy, AI governance, and security posture. You see your risk level by area, your biggest gap, and the frameworks likely to apply. It's an assessment, not a certification.
How is Aerie different from a compliance automation tool?
Automation tools collect evidence for an audit. Aerie runs the wider trust program: gaps, a commitment register, versioned evidence, questionnaire answers, and a public trust center. It connects read-only to GitHub, Google Workspace, and AWS.
What is an incident response tabletop exercise?
A rehearsal of a realistic incident, such as a data exposure or an AI failure, where your team makes decisions against the clock. It shows who decides what and where the plan has gaps. Talon Peak offers licenses and facilitated sessions.
Is there a HIPAA certification?
No. Health partners look instead for HIPAA-aligned safeguards, signed business associate agreements, and often a SOC 2 report or a third-party HIPAA attestation. For how HIPAA applies to your business, consult qualified legal counsel.
Does Aetos provide legal advice?
No. We provide trust and governance services aligned with frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. We are not a law firm. When a question needs legal interpretation, we'll say so and work with your counsel.
