Compliance for startups with Fern (YC W23)

For early-stage startups, frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are more than just 'nice-to-haves'—they're powerful accelerators for simplifying procurement, fast-tracking customer trust, and opening doors to new markets. But achieving compliance can be time-consuming, manual, and overwhelming for founders who already have a lot on their plate.

Watch our webinar with Danny Sheridan, Co-founder and CEO at Fern (YC W23), and Brian Kuan, Product Marketing Manager at Vanta (YC W18), for a deep dive into why startups should prioritize compliance early in their journey, and how Vanta can help you become SOC 2-ready in as little as four weeks—giving time back for you to focus on building a company.
