# Figuni

*/Startups/Figuni*

## Startup Overview

This compliance engine connects directly to cloud infrastructure and extracts audit evidence straight from system logs. Rather than relying on static screenshots or periodic sampling, the system continuously pulls configuration data, access logs, and deployment records. It maps raw telemetry directly to specific compliance frameworks to generate auditor-ready proof without human intervention.

Engineering and security teams traditionally lose weeks gathering evidence for annual audits, either through manual IT reviews or by feeding data into compliance dashboards like Drata or Vanta. This solution eliminates the dashboard entirely. Operating as a completely headless integration, it runs silently in the background, reading infrastructure state and producing verification artifacts without requiring engineers to manually input data or click through web interfaces.

By removing the user interface tax, the system aligns billing directly with actual security outcomes. Customers pay strictly per verified control rather than by employee headcount or flat platform fees. This model ensures teams only pay for the exact audit evidence they successfully extract and validate.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting zero manual dashboard evidence uploads for cloud-native engineering teams.
- Aiming to continuously extract audit artifacts directly from infrastructure logs without human intervention.
- Designed to satisfy external auditors using structured log payloads instead of manual screenshots.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Controls · Price: ~$15–$25 per verified control/month · Inclusions: Headless infrastructure log extraction and mapping for standard SOC 2 and ISO 27001 technical controls via standard cloud APIs.
- Name: Custom Controls · Price: ~$35–$60 per verified control/month · Inclusions: Arbitrary log stream ingestion and bespoke evidence mapping for custom internal engineering controls and proprietary infrastructure.
**Guarantee**: If an external auditor rejects Figuni's extracted evidence for an active control due to formatting or context, Figuni will build a custom log-parsing script for that control within 48 hours or refund its metering cost for the quarter.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Auditors demand specific contextual screenshots, not raw log dumps. -> Figuni parses raw infrastructure logs into structured, time-stamped artifacts designed specifically to meet external auditor evidence formats.
- Our infrastructure is too custom for standard compliance tools to read. -> Figuni operates completely headlessly, designed to ingest and map arbitrary log streams from any proprietary internal system.
- We cannot pipe sensitive infrastructure logs to a third-party compliance vendor. -> The ingestion engine is designed to support local redaction rules, stripping sensitive payloads and PII before evidence leaves your environment.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: B2B → SecOps Engineer → Third-Party Compliance Auditor
**Gtm Motion**: Acquisition targets DevOps engineers implementing infrastructure-as-code by providing a drop-in API for headless log extraction. Expansion scales automatically as engineering teams connect additional cloud environments and are billed per newly verified control added to the continuous audit pipeline.
**Agent Channel**: Designed to target structured capability feeds like the LangChain tool registry and the OpenAI plugin directory, allowing autonomous compliance agents to discover and query the headless API for specific infrastructure control verification.
**Primary Channel**: Infrastructure-as-code module registries, specifically the Terraform Registry and GitHub Actions Marketplace, discovered when DevOps teams search for automated SOC2 evidence extraction tools.

## Startup Proof Points

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

**Pilot Goals**:
- 14-day standard control pilot monitoring 5 cloud API integrations, aiming to demonstrate continuous extraction of compliant technical artifacts without a single engineering intervention.
- 30-day custom control proof-of-concept, aiming to ingest a proprietary internal log stream, apply local redaction rules, and generate structured evidence that passes an initial mock audit review.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 0 manual dashboard evidence uploads required for standard cloud technical controls.
- Aim: 100% acceptance rate from external auditors for structured log payloads replacing manual screenshots.
- Target: 40+ engineering hours saved per audit cycle previously spent on infrastructure evidence collection.
- Aim: Less than 48-hour turnaround time for custom log-parsing script generation when auditor formatting requirements shift.
**Target Case Studies**:
- A high-growth B2B SaaS engineering team aiming to eliminate the need for manual dashboard screenshots during their annual SOC 2 audit by deploying continuous, headless log extraction.
- A mature enterprise DevSecOps organization seeking to map proprietary, highly custom infrastructure log streams into auditor-approved ISO 27001 evidence without requiring engineers to build internal compliance tooling.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Engineering praising the complete removal of compliance-driven screenshot tasks from their active sprint cycles.
- Lead Compliance Manager expressing confidence in the local redaction rules that successfully strip sensitive PII before log evidence leaves their environment.
- External Auditor validating that structured, time-stamped artifacts are faster and more reliable to audit than raw log dumps or manual UI screenshots.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major cloud providers deprecate or restrict access to the specific raw infrastructure logs required for headless evidence extraction. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Auditors refuse to accept programmatic log extracts as valid compliance evidence without traditional human attestations and dashboard screenshots. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Enterprise buyers reject the variable per-verified-control pricing model in favor of predictable flat-rate SaaS pricing. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: low · Description: Legacy system integrations demand custom log parsers that divert engineering resources away from the core platform. · Mitigation Status: mitigated
