# Adherencepark

*/Startups/Adherencepark*

## Startup Overview

This compliance platform ingests system access logs and maps them directly to regulatory control frameworks. It reads raw access data across internal infrastructure and binds individual access events to specific compliance requirements. Security and engineering teams use this mechanism to prove strict access controls without pulling manual reports or building custom scripts.

Preparing for audits traditionally forces security teams into periodic manual reviews or expensive contracts with seat-licensed tools like Vanta, Drata, and Secureframe. These alternatives capture point-in-time snapshots, leaving gaps in the evidence trail and penalizing headcount growth. The platform replaces this model with continuous evidence collection, monitoring log streams in real time to maintain a perpetually audit-ready state. Priced by the compliance outcomes achieved rather than the number of employee seats, it allows organizations to scale their workforce without inflating their audit budget.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that maps system access logs to compliance control frameworks

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting the complete elimination of manual screenshot gathering for quarterly access reviews.
- Aiming to map single system events to multiple compliance frameworks simultaneously to reduce duplicate work.
- Designed to integrate directly with major identity providers to track provision and revocation events automatically.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Single Framework · Price: ~$8k–$14k/yr · Inclusions: Continuous access log ingestion, automated control mapping, and audit-ready evidence export for one standard compliance framework (e.g., SOC 2). No per-seat limits.
- Name: Multi-Framework Portfolio · Price: ~$18k–$28k/yr · Inclusions: Automated cross-mapping of log events to up to 3 standard frameworks simultaneously (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA), eliminating redundant evidence gathering.
- Name: Custom Matrix · Price: ~$35k–$50k/yr · Inclusions: Mapping for custom enterprise control matrices, unlimited standard frameworks, custom webhook ingestion, and direct auditor inquiry support.
**Guarantee**: If the automated evidence fails to satisfy your external auditor's sampling requirements for a covered control, we will manually remediate the gap and refund the prorated cost of that framework's tier.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Auditors require specific evidence formats, not raw log dumps: Adherencepark is designed to format log data into standard control-evidence templates accepted by major audit firms.
- We use custom internal systems that don't output standard logs: The platform accepts structured logs via a generic API webhook, allowing custom internal tool logs to be mapped to standard control sets.
- How do we know the mapping is complete before the audit?: A real-time readiness dashboard highlights unmapped controls and insufficient evidence frequency weeks before the auditor requests it.
- What if an integration breaks and we miss evidence?: The system is designed to alert administrators within 1 hour if an expected continuous log stream stops sending data.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day single-framework pilot: Ingest logs from the client's primary identity provider to populate all applicable SOC 2 access control evidence templates automatically without manual intervention
- 60-day multi-framework pilot: Push custom internal application logs via API webhook to prove that a single log event accurately maps to both ISO 27001 and HIPAA matrices simultaneously
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 100 percent elimination of manual screenshot gathering for quarterly system access reviews
- Aim: 80 percent reduction in duplicate evidence collection for environments undergoing simultaneous SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits
- Target: Less than 1 hour detection and alerting time for broken log stream integrations
- Aim: Zero auditor sampling rejections for system-mapped automated controls
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market SaaS Security Officer: Transitions from manual screenshot-based access reviews to automated log ingestion, mapping single identity provider events to both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control matrices simultaneously
- Series B Fintech VP of Engineering: Routes custom internal tool logs through the generic API webhook to populate standard HIPAA control-evidence templates, removing engineers from the manual audit evidence gathering process
- Enterprise GRC Lead: Replaces manual pre-audit gap assessments with the real-time readiness dashboard, identifying and resolving insufficient evidence frequency for user access controls weeks before auditor requests
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Security: Expressing that their engineering team reclaims weeks of work because the platform automatically formats raw log data into standard control-evidence templates accepted by their audit firm
- Compliance Manager: Highlighting how the real-time readiness dashboard flagged a broken log stream integration weeks before the audit, preventing a critical gap in access revocation evidence
- External Auditor: Confirming that the automated evidence exports meet their exact sampling requirements immediately, removing the need for follow-up clarification calls with the engineering team
