Liance helps startups stay audit ready by connecting systems, collecting evidence, tracking controls, and keeping compliance work moving between reviews.
I started working on Liance after building Superplan.md and speaking with a larger company that was interested in using it. The conversations were going well, but one of the requirements was SOC 2 readiness.
The funny part is that I knew almost nothing about SOC 2 at the time.
That sent me down the compliance rabbit hole.
As I started researching the process and looking at existing solutions, I realized two things. First, a lot of compliance work still happens through spreadsheets, screenshots, documents, and manual follow-ups. Second, many solutions felt out of reach for smaller startups and early-stage products.
I wanted to build something that helps even small teams understand where they stand, connect their systems, collect proof, and improve their readiness before compliance becomes a blocker.
This is definite need, planning and handing off those plans is what is work today essentially!

@siddhartha_saxena2 Agreed. The planning part gets a lot of attention, but handoff and keeping context intact across people and tasks is often the harder problem. :)

That's how Liance started.
I'd love to hear how your team handles security reviews, compliance requirements, or customer trust questionnaires.
We are excited to get this out finally & we would love any feedback about the product!
