| 1 | Market Research and Analysis: | |||||
| 1.1 | Conduct an in-depth market analysis to understand the target audience's needs, pain points, and preferences. | We have created a universal privacy and security compliance suite of CLI and web based tools called Opsfolio Suite that provides a set of baseline policies content and suite of agents that can be queried using SQL which are installed on servers and workstations to gather evidence to ensure policies are being followed. Opsfolio Suite helps small and medium sized project and product teams meet SOC2, FedRAMP, HITRUST, FDA Quality System, and other compliance regimes. Our potential competitors might include Drata, SecureFrame, Vanta, and others but we differentiate ourselves with a focus on SaaS companies looking to integrate code quality compliance (e.g. SBOM) along with IT security compliance. |
