# Cycore > Cycore is a fractional security, compliance, and privacy team that implements and runs the whole program for a fixed monthly fee. GRC platforms track the tasks. Cycore does the work. Cycore serves B2B companies that need SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and related certifications to win enterprise deals. Typical buyers are founders, COOs, CTOs, and heads of security at SaaS, fintech, and healthtech companies. Cycore is hired when an audit is 3 to 9 months out, when security questionnaires are holding up sales, or when a customer or investor asks for a certification the company does not have yet. - Founded by Kevin Barona (CEO). Co-founder Jai Sisodia leads cybersecurity, AI, and privacy. - Headquarters in Miami, Florida. Customers across the United States and Canada. - Three service lines: managed compliance, virtual CISO, and virtual data protection officer. - Support for 15+ security, privacy, and AI frameworks. - Certified implementation partner for Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, and Thoropass.
