Liance

Liance is a compliance readiness workspace designed for startup teams preparing for SOC 2 audits. It connects to existing systems like GitHub, AWS, and Cloudflare to automatically collect evidence, map it to controls, and surface gaps. The platform is built for B2B startups, especially those handling SOC 2 for the first time or aiming to streamline renewal cycles without a full internal compliance team. Its main purpose is to transform scattered documents, screenshots, and spreadsheets into an organized, audit-ready evidence library, providing a clear view of readiness and actionable next steps.

Startups often face significant revenue loss and deal delays due to compliance issues, with security reviews halting contracts when companies are not audit-ready. The traditional path to SOC 2 involves expensive consulting fees, manual evidence chasing, and months of delay, creating a chaotic and costly process. Liance addresses this by enabling teams to first check their current readiness with existing files, identifying what is already defensible and what would fail under scrutiny before investing heavily. This prevents spending on audits and tooling without a solid foundation, turning compliance from a gamble into a manageable workflow.

Liance turns live signals from connected systems into a comprehensive proof graph. It pulls data from GitHub, AWS, Cloudflare, Okta, Slack, Notion, Google Cloud, Azure, and Jira, transforming code, cloud, identity, and project signals into a unified evidence layer. This automated collection replaces manual screenshotting and spreadsheet tracking, ensuring evidence is continuously gathered and mapped to specific controls like CC6.1 for access protection. The system identifies exactly what is covered and explains the control context for each artifact.

The platform provides continuous monitoring to see compliance drift before it becomes a problem. It maintains a live view of stale evidence, changing controls, and gaps needing attention, such as AWS MFA policy drift or expired GitHub app tokens. Features like readiness health scores, blocker identification, and days-until-review counts give teams a practical readout. This allows for proactive remediation, such as requesting fresh proof or re-running syncs, ensuring nothing lapses quietly before an audit deadline.

Liance establishes governed workflows for policy rhythm and clear ownership. It tracks policy drafts, approvals, and expirations with real owners, turning missing proof and weak controls into named follow-up tasks. The system includes versioned proof that is easy to export and review, creating a visible operating rhythm for the team. This structure moves evidence work, renewal work, and follow-up work out of manual chasing loops and into an accountable, organized process.
