For too long information security has been a blocker instead of an accelerator. My nightmare scenario was a few years ago when we had to halt all production work for 6 months while we met with endless lawyers and CPAs to try and explain how our entire infrastructure was built. Developers hated it, product hated it, marketing hated it, maybe the CPAs loved it?

I've seen huge deals fall through because of failing to get compliance fast enough, or basic security missteps (how many articles about turning on MFA do we need?) lead to major incidents. And don't even get me started on consultants and spreadsheets. I have stories to share...

That is why we built Control - to solve compliance with one integration.

Controls accelerates and automates SOC2, ISO 27001, PCI and more - so that you can build your company, not work on compliance. No more legalese, writing policies or manually running endless compliance scanners across your systems.

At VGS, we're on a much bigger mission - to protect the world's information. This means that we are relentlessly committed to real security and fast compliance.

That's why as a part of this launch, we're offering guaranteed SOC2 compliance on Control for FREE. Just create an account, commit to real security, and we'll take care of the rest.

As a cloud ops minded person, we thought it would be compelling to allow people to simply connect AWS to a free read only tool, from a company I can trust with our info like VGS, just to see what security results came back.

We'd love to hear your feedback, and if you have questions about Security/Compliance, let us know. My team and I will be around all day to help.

Can you provide a ballpark/average cost of this ? I see that you can start for Free but let's get real. The real thing costs money. I am interested but want an idea of the ballpark cost if you can share.

I work at VGS. Because of our mission is to secure the world’s sensitive information we will never let pricing get in the way of security. So yes, our product really is free. There is a cost for the external auditor and that ranges from 15k-25k for SOC 2.
