Trust & Security
Security & Compliance Readiness
We help early-stage startups build secure engineering practices into their foundation — so security scales with the company instead of becoming a crisis later.
Security during AWS onboarding
During onboarding, we help founders apply security fundamentals as they set up their AWS environment.
Least-privilege mindset
IAM roles and access scoped to what each service actually needs — nothing more.
Secure authentication
Modern auth patterns, MFA, and session management applied from the first commit.
Encryption in transit & at rest
TLS everywhere and encrypted storage as a default, not an afterthought.
Auditability concepts
Structured logging and access trails so activity can be reviewed and traced.
Scalable security patterns
Architecture choices that keep security manageable as the team and load grow.
SOC 2 readiness practices
Conduit supports SOC 2 readiness — helping startups adopt the controls, documentation habits, and engineering practices that a future audit would expect.
We do not provide certification, and we do not claim that Conduit or the startups we support are SOC 2 certified. Our role is to help teams operate in a way that makes pursuing certification straightforward when the business is ready.
- Access control and least-privilege review
- Documented change-management practices
- Logging, monitoring, and auditability
- Encryption and key-handling guidance
- Vendor and dependency awareness

How Conduit helps startups operationalize security
Security is most effective when it is built into how a team ships, not bolted on before a deadline. We work alongside founders to make secure engineering practices part of everyday development.
- Lightweight architecture and security reviews as the product evolves
- Guidance on authentication, authorization, and data-handling patterns
- Practical checklists that keep security manageable for small teams
- Readiness support so compliance efforts don't stall growth
