The Rovally Experience

Most compliance programs feel like a tax. Ours feels like a team.

Rovally was built by people who've run security programs at scale — so you get senior judgment, not junior execution.

Why it's needed

Most startups hit the same wall: a deal stalls because you don't have SOC 2, you scramble to get certified, the process drags for months, evidence collection is a mess, and by the time the report lands the deal is cold. Compliance shouldn't cost you pipeline. But without the right partner, it usually does.

Experience you'll get / what sets us apart

You get a dedicated advisor, not a ticketing system. Someone who's been a CISO, not someone reading from a checklist.

We move fast — 30 days to SOC 2 Type I for qualified companies. We don't miss — 100% audit success rate, zero findings across all client audits. And we work inside the portfolios of firms like Costanoa, BCV, and Techstars, so we understand what your investors expect.

My name is David. I'm founder and CEO of Rovally, and I've been in cybersecurity and IT for over two decades. I started my career in IT help desk and progressed through various roles — individual contributor, manager, director, VP — and eventually as a three-time CISO, primarily at venture capital-backed companies in the SaaS space, and even more specifically in the cybersecurity space. The bar for success in those environments was quite high.

Early in my career, I spent a lot of time working for MSPs — managed service providers — and I identified a gap. MSPs typically provide a cookie-cutter type of deployment: services are canned, they're not specialized, and it doesn't feel like they're part of the team. I've seen a lot of issues come out of those relationships. And I've always said to myself: if I ever build a business, it'll be something in that space, but not that model.
So fast forward two decades — I started Rovally in 2023 as a company that really focuses on delivering an outcome. And what is that outcome? Compliance as a service. Meaning you get the compliance result — whether that's SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA — but the way we deliver it is different. Anybody can implement a compliance program. The question is whether it's going to stick.
The way we make it stick is by embedding with your team and making sure it's implemented at the foundational level of your organization. And then we run it for you. Running it means acting like an employee: managing the systems, doing the access reviews, running risk assessments, running tabletop exercises. The things you'd expect from internal staff running your security and compliance program.

One of the things I realized early in building this company is that you can't do compliance and security well without also influencing or deploying IT. Which is why we now also manage and deploy IT programs for our customers — mobile device management, endpoint posture management, endpoint detection and response.

Customers come to us because they want to be compliant. They want to be compliant because they're trying to close an enterprise deal. But when we implement the program, we make sure security is actually built at the base layer of the organization — and done well. Because at the end of the day, that's what matters most.
