Why Aetos?

Aetos (pronounced ay-TOS) is the Greek word for eagle, which is a symbol of vision, strength, and precision. It is both a nod to our founders and an enduring symbol of clarity and precision. That’s how we approach your program: focused, practical, and built to last.

We founded Aetos to make elite compliance expertise accessible and practical for startups and SMBs. We turn regulatory requirements into simple systems that earn trust with customers, partners, and investors.

Compliance is only helpful if it moves the business forward. Our model pairs senior, fractional expertise with flexible engagement, so you get the right depth when you need it, without full‑time overhead. The outcome: lower risk, cleaner reviews, and faster deals.

• Fractional, cost‑efficient expertise with senior attention
• Flexible scale
• Built to mitigate risk and build trust instead of bureaucracy and busywork
• Fluent in the frameworks buyers trust

We run framework‑aligned programs that buyers can verify:

• Cybersecurity: non-technical management of governance, policies, incident response, and third‑party oversight mapped to recognized frameworks

• Data Privacy Operations: inventory, notices, consent, DSR and cookie management package, DPIAs, vendor reviews, training, and records of processing

• AI Governance: policy, intake, impact/risk templates, human oversight, and transparency artifacts

• Customer Trust: publish clear policies and recognizable certifications; keep a small evidence pack ready for diligence

Assess → Align → Implement → Assure

We will deliver visible progress and an evidence pack your sales team can share.

Our proprietary framework keeps day‑to‑day decisions proportionate to risk and easy to explain. It shows up in intake forms, approvals, and training, so “doing the right thing” is the default.

Trust grows when proof is easy to find. We help you maintain clean, dated policies (privacy, cookies, security), align to frameworks (NIST, ISO, SOC 2), and list certifications with scope and dates. Then we make it effortless to request deeper evidence.

Aetos helps startups and SMBs across industries. We support founders and operating teams that want to be agile and close sales faster, whether you are selling directly to consumers (who are increasingly concerned with how their data is handled) or to enterprise buyers (who expect recognizable standards and clear ownership).
