## Startup Overview

This compliance engine ingests raw, unstructured system logs and maps them directly to regulatory frameworks. It parses application events and infrastructure telemetry to continuously verify security controls against legal mandates.

Security teams typically spend weeks pulling technical evidence to satisfy manual audits. Legacy platforms like OneTrust or Drata demand rigid integrations and require humans to translate messy log data into static checklists. Proving compliance remains a tedious translation exercise between engineering realities and governance standards.

Operating entirely autonomously in control mapping, the engine reads the raw exhaust of digital infrastructure and links it to exact compliance requirements without human oversight. Because it fully automates evidence collection, the commercial model abandons seat-based software subscriptions. Instead, it prices operations strictly on an outcome basis, charging exclusively per verified policy.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to reduce SOC2 evidence collection time for mid-market software companies from weeks to hours.
- Targeting 100% automated mapping of raw AWS CloudTrail logs directly to ISO27001 technical controls.
- Designed to produce evidence files that pass external auditor scrutiny with zero manual formatting required.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Targeted Mapping · Price: ~$300–$500 per verified policy annually · Inclusions: Mapping unstructured system logs to a single compliance framework (e.g., SOC2), including automated evidence collection, control parsing, and audit-ready export.
- Name: Continuous Verification · Price: ~$150–$300 per verified policy annually · Inclusions: Real-time log ingestion mapped across up to 3 regulatory frameworks concurrently, with continuous automated evidence refreshing and cross-framework control deduplication.
- Name: Custom Frameworks · Price: ~$80–$150 per verified policy annually · Inclusions: Unlimited framework mappings including ingestion of custom internal policies, designed to connect directly to native enterprise SIEMs and cloud log lakes.
**Guarantee**: If a mapped control fails a formal external audit due to a misclassified or missed log event, Coveloom refunds the verification fee for that specific policy and provides immediate manual remediation engineering.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Auditors won't accept AI-generated evidence -> Coveloom outputs direct, verifiable pointers to your raw, immutable log lines, preserving the exact cryptographic audit trail.
- Our system logs are highly customized and messy -> The engine is built to parse completely unstructured text and deep JSON, identifying config and access events without requiring rigid predefined schemas.
- We have complex internal policies beyond standard SOC2 -> The platform is designed to ingest proprietary policy documents and map your unstructured logs directly to your custom internal controls.
- Paying per policy will get expensive fast -> You only pay for policies successfully verified with evidence; unmapped or failing controls do not incur the verification fee.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Coveloom → GRC Engineer → Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) → External Auditor
**Gtm Motion**: Acquisition begins with a frictionless, single-framework log scan that flags immediate evidence gaps for a pressing audit like SOC 2. Expansion scales directly with the company's regulatory footprint as GRC teams unlock and pay for additional framework mappings on a per-verified-policy basis.
**Agent Channel**: The platform is designed to list its control-mapping API schemas in the LangChain Tool Registry and OpenAI's structured capability feeds, allowing enterprise security AI assistants to autonomously discover the tool and retrieve verified compliance postures.
**Primary Channel**: Direct discovery by security engineers searching for specific log-extraction workflows on the AWS Marketplace, or querying 'Datadog to SOC 2 evidence automation' on developer communities and GitHub.
