Overview

Founded in 2023 and based in San Francisco, Delve is a compliance automation startup that relies on AI agents to handle much of the work behind SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001 and AI-related frameworks. Its profile names startups and AI-native companies as its core audience, which fits a product designed to move young teams through a first audit without a large internal compliance staff.

AI agents drive evidence collection, and questionnaire autofill applies the same approach to security reviews from prospects. Support comes from dedicated experts reached through 1:1 Slack channels, and customers also get policy templates, a trust center and a free trust report. For the audit itself, Delve routes customers to partner CPA firms. In March 2026, a whistleblower alleged that some reports issued through affiliated firms were templated or fabricated. Delve denies the allegations. Y Combinator removed Delve in April 2026, and Delve has since added free re-audits for customers.

Coverage spans 11 frameworks, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, ISO 42001 and HITRUST, supported by around 100 integrations. Pricing is not published; third-party reports place contracts at roughly $10,000 to $30,000 per year. On G2, Delve holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 136 reviews.

Early-stage and AI-native teams that want an agent-heavy workflow with close Slack access to experts may find Delve worth evaluating. Because a SOC 2 report carries only as much weight as the firm that issues it, buyers should ask which CPA firm would perform their audit, whether that firm is independent of Delve, and how the free re-audit offer works in practice. It also makes sense to confirm with key customers and prospects that a report from that firm will be accepted during their own vendor reviews.
