Whether you're a startup expanding into enterprise and government markets or a research institution with long-standing federal partnerships, compliance remains your biggest challenge. Security reviews, IT approvals, and procurement policies can stall deals or even block funding if your infrastructure isn’t audit-ready. With rapidly evolving federal mandates, staying compliant isn't just a milestone—it’s an ongoing requirement. Compliance isn’t a one-time hurdle; it’s a continuous part of doing business.

For founders, VCs, and business owners, compliance isn’t just about security, it’s about revenue. The fastest way to close enterprise deals is to meet compliance standards like SOC 2, PCI, CMMC, HIPAA, StateRAMP, and FedRAMP upfront. Day1 eliminates compliance friction so you can gain enterprise trust, shorten sales cycles, and close deals faster, without wasting months catching up.

For research institutions, grant recipients, and federal contractors, compliance is mandatory. Federal agencies require NIST compliance before awarding grants or contracts. Without it, funding can be delayed or eligibility lost. Day1 provides an audit-ready cloud infrastructure to ensure your work and research stay compliant, funded, and on track.
