Employees aren't just using email, laptops and a handful of approved applications anymore.
Teams are adopting AI tools. AI agents are gaining access to systems and information. New applications can be connected in minutes. And the line between a technology decision and a security decision is disappearing.
Security awareness today shouldn't be built around fear, tricking employees or simply adding more annual training.
It should be continuous, relevant and increasingly adaptive, helping people understand the risks that matter to the work they're actually doing.
That's what we're building.
For more than 25 years, we've operated and advised SaaS and technology companies.
We've built security programs. Led SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and NIST initiatives. Written policies. Answered customer security questionnaires. Managed audits and penetration tests. Led risk assessments, incident response teams and tabletop exercises.
We've also bought the training, software and services designed to make all of that easier.
The tools became more complicated. The costs kept climbing. Training libraries got bigger. And our teams still had to put in significant time to turn all of it into a security program that actually worked.
We thought there should be a better way.
So we built Readiness IQ.
We don't believe security culture is built by checking an annual training box.
We believe people make better security decisions when they understand the risks, know what's expected of them and receive relevant learning and reinforcement as those risks change.
Better technology. More informed people. Stronger security culture.
That's the idea behind Readiness IQ.
It is my belief that security can be practical without sacrificing effectiveness. Training can respect people's time while still changing behavior. Compliance can provide evidence without becoming the purpose of the security program.
As AI changes the way we work, I believe keeping people informed and ready will matter more than ever.
Readiness IQ is the platform I wish we'd had all those years.
See how Readiness IQ helps modern tech-enabled teams establish clear, sustainable SOC 2 readiness.
Built for teams pursuing SOC 2 readiness without adopting an enterprise GRC platform.
Designed for teams of ~50 or less, often 10 to 25, who need practical SOC 2 readiness without heavy overhead.
Bring policies, training, evidence organization, and compliance workflows into one clear readiness program.
Turn readiness into repeatable habits and workflows, so it's sustainable year-round, not just during audit season.
Help your team demonstrate progress with confidence during customer security reviews and SOC 2 preparation.
Readiness IQ helps modern, tech-enabled teams turn SOC 2 readiness into a sustainable operating rhythm, practical, clear, and manageable.
