Investors and enterprise clients require SOC 2 before signing contracts. Without documented security proof, deals die in due diligence — regardless of your product quality.
73% of consumers say they would stop doing business with a company after a data breach. The reputational damage outlasts the technical damage by years.

“Korvonex found three critical vulnerabilities our previous vendor missed entirely. The findings report was the most thorough I have seen in twelve years of running engineering teams.”
“We closed our Series B two weeks after receiving SOC 2 Type 2. Korvonex compressed what would have been a six-month process into eleven weeks without disrupting our roadmap.”
“The architecture review reshaped how we think about our API surface. Every finding came with a remediation path our team could implement the same week.”
You are six weeks from closing your Series A and investors just asked for your SOC 2 report. Your enterprise prospect sent a 40-question security questionnaire. Your CTO wants to know if your API is exploitable before you launch to 10,000 users.
That is exactly who we built Korvonex for.
We work with founders and engineering leads who are moving fast and cannot afford to let security become a growth bottleneck.
SOC 2 Type 1 certification can unlock enterprise contracts 10 to 50 times larger than your current deal size.
