3 compliance myths about SOC 2 and ISO 27001 to stop believing

The Answer

Let's bust a few myths about SOC 2 and ISO 27001 — these come up way too often.

Myth one: only big companies need compliance. Wrong. Startups are now getting SOC 2 and ISO 27001 to unlock enterprise deals early and stand out from the crowd.

Myth two: SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are basically the same. They're similar, but not identical. SOC 2 is a US-focused attestation; ISO 27001 is a global certification. Different formats, different audiences.

Myth three: compliance is just an IT task. No — it's a company-wide effort. From HR to DevOps to leadership, compliance is a culture, not a department.
