# Konfirmity > Konfirmity is a security-driven compliance platform you can run self-serve or have fully managed: it pairs the CASCADES software platform with an optional dedicated CISO team (up to 10 hours/month) so companies build real security first and let compliance — ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, MAS TRM — fall out as evidence automatically. Positioning: "Security-Driven Compliance. Not Audit Theater." Built by the founding CTO who scaled NIUM to $2B. How Konfirmity differs from pure-SaaS GRC tools (Vanta, Drata, Secureframe): those track tasks and chase certificates; Konfirmity is a security-driven compliance platform, self-serve or fully managed, that combines platform *and* people. With the fully-managed service you get a dedicated CISO, security program design and execution, 24/7 monitoring, automated evidence collection mapped across frameworks, and audit support — not just a checklist. The model: start with operational security, and compliance emerges as a natural outcome. Built for regulated industries where checkbox compliance fails (fintech, healthcare/PHI, enterprise SaaS, financial services).
