Cameron and Gabe sit down with Girish Redekar, co-founder and CEO of Sprinto, to pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood areas of security: compliance.

Girish built his first startup, RecruiterBox, to 3,500 customers before selling it, and it was the painful, expensive, duct-taped compliance process he experienced firsthand that sparked the idea for Sprinto. Today, Sprinto helps companies move beyond point-in-time audits into something far more valuable: continuous, autonomous trust.

In this episode, we dig into:

• Why passing a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit doesn't mean you're actually secure
• The three stages of compliance maturity — and how to climb them
• What "compliance debt" is and why it's quietly eating your business
• How smart CISOs use their security posture as a revenue driver, not a back-office cost center
• The "$100/month" challenge: what actually moves the needle for startups
• How AI is reshaping compliance programs — for better or worse
• Why Girish spent over a year talking to customers before writing a single line of code

Plus: the "sell more jeans" framework every CISO should know, Rich Hickey, The Mom Test, and the toilet paper question.
