https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenngile/ Many successful startups and SaaS companies were constructed cloud-first with a build-it culture, prioritizing problem solving and speed above all else. As they grow, these startups inevitably seek to sell into regulated markets like finance, healthcare or government. A rude awakening often occurs, courtesy of auditors who inform them that their service will violate multiple compliance requirements.

When initially designing an application in build-it mode, companies rarely think ahead to when they might face compliance checks.

Regulated markets are regulated for very good reasons: The services that companies in those markets provide are critical to society.
