Bottom line
Delve is an AI-assisted compliance automation platform that helps startups and mid-market companies earn and maintain SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, GDPR and PCI-DSS. Autonomous agents collect screenshot evidence, scan code and infrastructure, and autofill security questionnaires, alongside a free trust report and 1:1 Slack support from compliance experts. The vendor quotes a 10-15 hour platform setup and audit-ready status in roughly 1-3 weeks, positioning compliance as a deal accelerator rather than a six-month project.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to become SOC 2 compliant with Delve?
The vendor publishes a roughly 30-minute onboarding, 10-15 hours of platform setup, then a 1-3 week audit for SOC 2 Type I. Type II adds a three-month observation period before the audit, and HIPAA is quoted as setup plus 1-2 weeks of BAA collection. Delve markets the overall result as 'compliant in days, not months' and claims an 8.7x faster audit preparation cycle.
What does Delve cost, and is onboarding extra?
Delve does not publish list pricing; buyers book a demo and receive a custom proposal. White-glove onboarding, 1:1 Slack support, a dedicated compliance expert, the trust report and security-questionnaire autofill are shown as free, while an advanced penetration test and vCISO support are separate add-on services.
Which compliance frameworks does Delve cover?
The site presents SOC 2 Type I and Type II, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HITRUST, FedRAMP, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and CCPA, plus support for custom frameworks and common control frameworks on the enterprise tier.
How is Delve different from hiring a compliance consultant?
Delve combines AI agents that gather evidence, write reports and validate controls with human security experts who respond in a 1:1 Slack channel, which the vendor describes as under five minutes. Instead of replacing expertise, the model puts automated evidence collection alongside named advisors and a free public trust report customers can share.
Who inside the company needs to be involved in setup?
Delve's agents collect context about team members, integrations and risk tolerance to tailor controls, and the vendor frames platform setup as a 10-15 hour effort on the customer side rather than a multi-month project. The remaining work is review and sign-off, with questionnaire answers and policy questions routed to the AI assistant or the Slack expert channel.
