Why we built Raize Orion

There is a moment in every SaaS company's life where a prospect drops a 240-question security questionnaire in the inbox and the founding team realises that "we'll get to compliance later" has just become an expensive lie.

Until recently the menu of options looked like this: pay £35-60k a year for one of the big incumbents and inherit a tool designed around auditors, or build it yourself in a spreadsheet and lose a quarter to the spreadsheet.

The gap we kept hitting

We built Raize because we kept watching small teams pick the spreadsheet, then quietly fail an audit nine months later because the spreadsheet drifted from reality the moment somebody changed an IAM policy.

• Continuous monitoring is the actual product, not a premium add-on.
• Evidence collection runs against the cloud, not against a screenshot folder.
• Frameworks share a common control library — adopt ISO 27001 once, see SOC 2 + NIST + GDPR + HIPAA + PCI DSS mapped automatically.
• AI helps with the writing, not the policy choices. We surface gaps; you decide what to do about them.

Who it is for

Teams of 5 to 50 engineers shipping a B2B SaaS that needs to clear at least one of: SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53. The first user is almost always a founding engineer or head of platform — somebody who knows the cloud cold but is doing their first audit.

What we are not

We do not sell auditor services. We do not white-label your auditor relationship. We do not lock evidence inside a proprietary format — every export is plain Markdown, JSON, or PDF that any auditor can read without an account on our platform.

If that resonates, the 10-day trial is at /pricing. The 13 evidence connectors run on day one. Bring an AWS access key and you will see your first drift findings inside 10 minutes.
