Built for the part of GRC that software does not solve

GetComply exists for growing SaaS teams that need a managed GRC function before they are ready to build a full internal department. SOC 2 is often what brings them in.

Mission

Someone still has to run the work

Software can organize tasks, monitor integrations, and collect records. It does not decide scope, explain tradeoffs, review weak evidence, document risk decisions, or keep a busy team from letting the program drift.

GetComply was built for that operating gap.

Approach

A shared workspace with a real advisor in it

GetComply gives smaller SaaS teams a named advisor and a shared workspace. The advisor runs the operating cadence. The workspace keeps the work visible.

The goal is not to bury teams in framework language. The goal is to make the next work clear: scope, ownership, evidence, decisions, review, and follow-through.

Built for cloud-hosted B2B SaaS teams

Designed for founders, CTOs, engineering leaders, security leads, and technical operators

Named advisor, weekly follow-up, monthly program review, and human evidence review

Independent of audit firms and software commissions

"SOC 2 is not a screenshot hunt. It is scope, ownership, evidence, review, and follow-through."

Why this exists

Most smaller teams do not need more complexity. They need someone to run the work.

When GRC becomes a side responsibility, priorities blur and evidence gets collected without a clear operating model. Enterprise requests create urgency, but the program still has to fit the company's real architecture and available capacity.

GetComply replaces fragmented ownership with a named operator, a working schedule, and a visible record of decisions and progress.

Founder

Ron Wermes, founder and cybersecurity practitioner

Ron Wermes

Founder · GetComply

Ron founded GetComply after hands-on cybersecurity work in financial services across security analysis, incident response, threat hunting, vulnerability management, and security tooling. He applied that operator's background to control design, risk, evidence, governance, and the development of the GetComply Framework.

He is completing a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity at the University of Cincinnati, expected in August 2026.

That experience supports a security-first approach to Managed GRC. It does not replace legal advice, independent audit work, certification authority, or specialist technical work outside GetComply's scope. When those functions are needed, GetComply says so and coordinates with the appropriate party.

Independent recommendations

No required compliance-platform purchase, vendor commission, or artificial software lock-in. Recommendations are based on actual risk, commitments, architecture, and operating need.

Practitioner-led

Guidance from a practitioner who has done hands-on security work and built the control, risk, evidence, and governance model the service runs on.

Ongoing relationship

The advisor and shared workspace remain current as the company changes. The program does not end when the first audit does.

Principles

What GetComply is built around

A named advisor owns the working relationship and the recurring follow-through. Software supports that advisor; it does not replace judgment.

Security work comes first. Proof for an auditor or customer should follow from real operating practices, not a paper-only program.

GetComply owns the operational work. The client retains business accountability and decision authority.

Requests to the client stay focused: internal facts, approved access, decisions, and technical actions only the client can safely make.

Controls fit the architecture the company actually runs. GetComply does not recommend a costly rebuild merely to make documentation easier.

No tool, consultant, or service is recommended without a real risk, requirement, or operating reason behind it.

Work is not called complete, ready, or compliant without the record behind the claim. Claims match the proof.

Client records remain understandable and portable. The company should be able to export, explain, and continue its program without artificial lock-in.

Early-stage, direct, and transparent

GetComply is an early-stage practice. There are no recycled enterprise logos, no invented case studies, and no inflated claims about decades of GRC consulting.

What exists is a structured framework, a working shared workspace, a clear operating model, and a founder with real security experience who is directly involved in the work.

Working with GetComply now means direct access to the person building the methodology and running the service, not a junior team hidden behind sales copy.
