The Compliance Gap
Every new country adds a new framework.
As Rippling customers expand globally, their security teams inherit SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, DPDP, and dozens of other regional standards — simultaneously. The gap between growth and compliance widens fast.
Framework sprawl
Each new country adds 1-3 new compliance frameworks. Manual tracking across jurisdictions consumes entire security teams.
Overlapping controls, duplicated work
SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR share 60%+ of controls — yet most teams manage them as entirely separate programs.
Audit timelines slow expansion
Security certifications take 6-12 months the traditional way. By then, the market opportunity has often moved on.
Headcount can't keep pace
Hiring compliance staff per-country isn't scalable. Growth demands a platform approach, not more headcount.
