Why Aetos?
Strategic compliance, built for you.
Our mission
We founded Aetos to make top-tier compliance expertise accessible and practical for startups and SMBs. We turn regulatory requirements into simple systems that earn trust with customers, partners, and investors.
Why Aetos? Compliance is only helpful if it moves the business forward. Our model pairs expertise with a 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
What we do
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 & AI Governance: policy, intake, impact/risk templates, human oversight, and transparency artifacts
- Compliance Operations: inventory, notices, consent, DSR and cookie management package, DPIAs, vendor reviews, training, and records of processing
- Customer Trust: publish clear policies and recognizable certifications; keep a small evidence pack ready for diligence
How we work
Assess → Align → Implement → Assure
We will deliver visible progress and evidence your sales team can share.
Privacy Principles by Design
Our proprietary framework, Privacy Principles by Design, 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.
Proof beats promises
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.
Who we help
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).
Our name
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.
