# Autonomousfidelity

*/Startups/Autonomousfidelity*

## Startup Overview

Engineering and security teams use this platform to map code changes directly to strict compliance frameworks in real time. Instead of waiting for annual reviews or scrambling for evidence, developers evaluate every commit against SOC2 and other mandates. The system closes the gap between the rapid software development lifecycle and static compliance requirements.

Incumbent compliance workflows like Vanta, Drata, manual SOC2 audits, and periodic pentesting rely on point-in-time infrastructure scans and snapshot reporting. This platform replaces episodic checks with a continuous verification model backed by cryptographically attested evidence. Every code deployment generates an immutable, verifiable proof of compliance. Engineering teams maintain a mathematically proven audit trail that prevents infrastructure from drifting out of required security postures.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting zero manual screenshot collection for routine deployment evidence.
- Aiming to reduce external audit preparation time from weeks to hours for mid-market SaaS providers.
- Designed to achieve 100% cryptographic traceability from deployed binary back to the peer-reviewed pull request.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Attestation · Price: ~$800–$1,200/mo · Inclusions: Continuous SOC2 control mapping for up to 10 active code repositories, automated CI/CD evidence generation, and cryptographic commit signing.
- Name: Multi-Framework Ledger · Price: ~$2,000–$3,500/mo · Inclusions: Support for up to 50 repositories, simultaneous SOC2 and ISO27001 evidence mapping, and exportable auditor-ready cryptographic ledgers.
- Name: Enterprise Verification · Price: Custom: ~$40k–$75k/yr · Inclusions: Unlimited repositories, custom internal policy verification, isolated deployment, and intended integrations with legacy SIEM and enterprise GRC platforms.
**Guarantee**: If a certified auditor rejects the platform's cryptographically signed evidence for a standard SOC2 control, we refund the trailing six months of platform fees.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: Our auditors demand traditional system screenshots. Rebuttal: The platform is built to generate immutable, human-readable reports backed by cryptographic proofs, a standard modern tech-forward audit firms increasingly accept over forgeable screenshots.
- Objection: We already use Vanta or Drata. Rebuttal: Those platforms primarily manage policies and surveys; Autonomousfidelity is designed to act as the tamper-proof evidence engine that feeds directly into their existing dashboards.
- Objection: Cryptographic signing will slow down our CI/CD pipelines. Rebuttal: The attestation engine operates asynchronously, verifying and signing artifacts in parallel to existing tests without blocking the critical deployment path.

## Startup Proof Points

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

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 30-day shadow deployment pilot running asynchronously across 10 repositories to prove zero latency impact on the critical CI/CD pipeline while generating 100% of required SOC2 evidence.
- A 60-day dual-framework mapping pilot for a multi-product SaaS vendor to demonstrate automated, simultaneous ISO27001 and SOC2 evidence generation across 50 repositories.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 0 manual screenshots collected for routine deployment evidence
- Aim: 95% reduction in developer hours spent on external audit preparation
- Target: 100% cryptographic traceability linking deployed binaries to peer-reviewed pull requests
**Target Case Studies**:
- A mid-market B2B SaaS engineering team transitions from manual screenshot gathering to an automated cryptographic ledger, passing a SOC2 Type II audit with zero manual evidence requests.
- A Series B fintech compliance director maps 50 active code repositories to SOC2 and ISO27001 frameworks simultaneously, cutting audit preparation time from weeks to under four hours.
- An enterprise DevSecOps director integrates continuous CI/CD evidence generation across unlimited repositories, establishing 100% cryptographic traceability from deployed binaries back to peer-reviewed pull requests.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- A VP of Engineering stating that developers successfully reclaimed sprint capacity previously lost to manual audit compliance and artifact documentation.
- A third-party SOC2 Auditor noting that the immutable cryptographic proofs provided stronger, faster evidence validation than traditional forgeable system screenshots.
- A Chief Information Security Officer validating that the asynchronous attestation engine integrated smoothly without blocking or slowing the critical CI/CD deployment path.

## Startup Top Risks
