ISO 27001 For Founders, Not Fortune 500s.
ClearPath guides your team through evidence-backed compliance tailored to your business.
No fluff. No complexity. No shortcuts.
To close ENTERPRISE deals, you need certifications like SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
But achieving compliance costs capital (often $50k or more) and demands staff time and compliance expertise you don't have. This creates the Compliance Catch-22: You can't afford the expensive GRC firm or dedicated staff required for compliance, and you can't close the deals needed to afford them.
Founders typically approach this challenge in one of three ways:
Using spreadsheets is cheap upfront, but it requires endless manual updates and significant internal GRC expertise—the very thing you don't have. This path dramatically increases the likelihood of failing an audit and permanently strains your team's time.
Offloading compliance to an expensive GRC firm or legacy platform is tempting, but it results in a massive drain on capital due to high upfront costs and hidden vendor lock-in fees. Crucially, this option still requires significant, non-billable time and energy from your internal team.
ClearPath gives your team the power to achieve and maintain compliance without external GRC consultants or massive budget allocations. Our AI-guided workbench shows your team what to do, why it matters, and how to prove it — so you can focus on scaling your business.

The short answer is to grow and to survive.
That's precisely why we founded ClearPath.
The industry typically forces small businesses to hire an expensive GRC consultant or firm because the process is too complicated. ClearPath removes that necessity.
Our platform is designed to be your AI-driven workbench, not your consultant. It translates complex security frameworks into plain-English, actionable tasks that your existing team can complete. We provide the expertise through automation and clear guidance, so your lean team can achieve compliance without adding headcount or spending tens of thousands on external consultants.
We offer a transparent, affordable pricing model that is scaled for lean startups and SMBs, directly solving the "Compliance Catch-22."
ClearPath helps your team prepare for the audit observation period in as little as 60-90 days. This includes implementing controls, establishing policies, and collecting initial evidence. After this preparation phase, your auditor will conduct the formal observation period (typically 3-6 months for Type 2 certification) to verify your controls are operating effectively over time.
We are designed to be your single compliance workbench. We fully support major security frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and NIST CSF. Crucially, our Zero Duplicate Effort feature ensures that if you start working on one standard, the progress automatically applies to others.
Yes. ClearPath prepares you for the audit by helping you implement controls and collect all the necessary evidence. However, to maintain the integrity and impartiality of your certification, you must hire a licensed, independent CPA firm (auditor) to perform the final check. We make their job easy by providing them with a complete, organized, and audit-ready package of evidence.
Choosing the right framework depends on your industry, regulatory requirements, customers, location, and data type. We take the guesswork out of it. Use our free Compliance Roadmap Tool to determine the best framework to pursue first for your business.
