Your first certification, without a compliance department
A security questionnaire is holding up your first enterprise deal, and nobody on the team owns this. Tidal gives you the structure of a compliance department: mapped controls, ready-made policies and evidence pulled from your own stack, without hiring for it.

Why Tidal fits this stage
You have no compliance team, but you do have a deal waiting on security questions. This is what bridges that gap.
Start with one framework, not all of them
If ISO 27001 is still a step too far, you start with ISO 9001, the GDPR or NIS2. The standard already comes translated into concrete tasks with an owner, so you never start from a blank page, and you expand later without starting over.
Learn morePolicies that already exist, instead of an empty document
Ready-made, editable policies that already cover what the standard asks for. You adapt them to how you actually work, rather than writing them from scratch or copying another company's.
Learn moreEvidence from the tools you already use
Connect Entra ID, Google Workspace, AWS or GitHub and Tidal pulls the evidence out itself. For a team that wants to spend every hour on the product, that is the difference between keeping this up between audits and not.
Learn moreShow prospects how your security is organised
Every enterprise deal comes with security questions. Your trust center shares your policies, controls and certificates with prospects, so your founder or tech lead does not start from scratch for every questionnaire.

Three routes, depending on what your customers ask for.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, and that is exactly what this stage is set up for. The standard arrives translated into tasks, the policies are ready and the evidence comes from your integrations. What is left is deciding how you work, and the 1:1 onboarding helps with that. If you get stuck, you bring in a consultant for the part where you need one.
Sometimes it is. If your customers are not asking for it yet, start with ISO 9001, the GDPR or NIS2 and build the management system you will reuse for ISO 27001 later. Evidence you assign once counts for every standard the same control appears in.
A substantiated overview of your controls and a trust center to share are there during the journey. The certificate itself comes at the end: across our customers the median is 13 weeks from kickoff to certificate. You do not have to wait for it to move a deal forward.
The Essential licence is the starting point: one framework of your choice, the essential policies and 1:1 onboarding. The pricing page sets out what is included and when it makes sense to move up.
