About

20+ years building software in healthcare data and compliance. Most recently ran IT and security for a medical records company where I built our first SOC 2 Type II program completely from scratch — no compliance team, no playbook, just figuring out what auditors actually needed versus what the big platforms were selling. That's why I started SimpleAudit nights and weekends: I don't think a first SOC 2 audit should require six new integrations and a project manager.

Who is using jev as a judge and how?

Keen to understand if you have started using Jev?

Have you got access already?
How are you using it?
Have you tried System 1 + System 2 yet?

SOC 2 feels impossible when you're pre-revenue. Here's what's actually true versus what's just fear.

I talk to a lot of early founders who need SOC 2 to close a deal or pass procurement, and almost all of them are stuck on the same two things: they assume it costs $15-30k minimum, and they don't know enough about the process to even start, so they freeze.

Both of those are more myth than reality, so let me break them down.

SimpleAudit - Get SOC 2 ready through conversation, not integration.

Get SOC 2 ready through conversation, not integration. SimpleAudit runs an AI discovery interview, right-sizes a plan for your business, then keeps you operational; no consultants, no security team, no integrations. Covers all five Trust Services Criteria, drafts policies, flags risks, organizes evidence, and generates tabletop exercises grounded in your actual environment, not templates. Four companies live today. Starts at $25/mo. Built by a founder who's been through SOC 2 himself.
