Aetos makes compliance feel like forward momentum, not red tape.

— Matt Harlan, CEO of Daypack Research

Spotlight Case Study: Legal tech compliance that fuels growth and doesn’t create friction

The Challenge

Daypack, a LegalTech startup selling to enterprise, hit a wall. A major customer required SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications. The team needed to pass the audit to win the deal, but they couldn't afford to drown in a "paperwork swamp" or slow down their engineering velocity.

The Aetos Fix

  • Mapped What Mattered: We aligned buyer requirements with the product roadmap, setting the narrowest viable scope for SOC 2 and HIPAA.

  • Prioritized Controls: We focused on the controls that unblocked sales, assigning clear owners and milestones.

  • Built the Evidence Base: We established an organized library for policies, access reviews, and logs, building the artifacts the auditor actually needed to see.

The Outcome

  • Audit-Ready Foundation: A clear, shared plan for SOC 2 and HIPAA.

  • Zero Velocity Loss: Engineering speed remained intact while compliance ran in the background.

  • Stronger Buyer Confidence: The "Forward Momentum" needed to close the enterprise deal.
