Most companies are less secure than they think.
Not because they don't care — but because security configuration drifts, evidence goes uncollected, and nobody has time to stay on top of it. Certvik was built to fix that.
The problem we kept seeing
We worked with companies that had gone through ISO 27001 certification — sometimes multiple times — and were still managing their compliance program in spreadsheets, shared drives and email chains. Evidence was collected manually, review deadlines were missed, and nobody had a clear picture of where they actually stood between audits.
But the compliance gaps were only part of the picture. The deeper issue was security. Microsoft 365 is complex. Conditional Access policies get misconfigured. MFA gets disabled for one user and never re-enabled. New applications are connected to your tenant without anyone reviewing the permissions. Devices fall out of compliance. These things happen quietly, without alerts, and most companies have no way of knowing until something goes wrong.
Security and compliance are often treated as separate problems. We think they're the same problem — and that both deserve to be managed continuously, not just at audit time.
Security gets ignored
Configuration drift, unreviewed permissions, and lapsed MFA are common in companies of every size — and largely invisible without the right tooling.
Nobody has time
Your engineers are building product. Your IT team is firefighting. Compliance and security operations fall to whoever can spare a few hours — which is never enough.
Audits are a snapshot
Passing an audit means you were compliant on that day. What happens in the 364 days between audits is what actually determines your security posture.
What we built
Certvik connects to your Microsoft 365 environment and keeps a continuous watch on your security configuration and compliance posture. Evidence is collected automatically. Controls are monitored on a schedule. When something drifts — a policy changes, a device falls out of compliance, a review deadline is missed — you know about it before your auditor does.
The compliance frameworks — ISO 27001, SOC 2 — sit on top of a foundation of genuine security monitoring. Not checkbox compliance. Actual visibility into whether your Microsoft 365 environment is configured the way it should be.
We built Certvik because we believe that security and compliance operations should be automated by default — not something that requires a dedicated team or a consultant on retainer to maintain. Fast-growing companies deserve the same level of operational rigour as enterprises, without the enterprise overhead.
“I kept seeing the same pattern — companies that had passed ISO 27001, sometimes more than once, but still had no real visibility into whether their Microsoft 365 environment was actually secure. Policies misconfigured, MFA gaps, devices out of compliance. Nobody noticed because nobody had time to look.
Certvik started as a tool to fix that. Not just to help companies pass audits, but to keep them genuinely secure between them. I built it because I think most growing companies deserve better than a spreadsheet and a yearly checkbox.”

What we stand for
Security first, compliance second
Compliance frameworks are useful, but they are a means to an end. The goal is a genuinely secure environment. We build our tooling with that priority in mind.
Continuous over periodic
A compliance programme that runs once a year produces a certificate. One that runs continuously produces security. We automate the ongoing work, not just the audit prep.
Honest about what we are
Certvik automates the operational side of compliance. We are not a replacement for a consultant or an auditor. We are the software that makes their job — and yours — significantly easier.
