Security-First Engineering for the Innovation Capital
San Francisco tech companies ship fast, but CCPA, SOC 2, and enterprise buyer security questionnaires can slow you down. Panicle Tech builds security into your velocity, not against it.

Overview
San Francisco's technology ecosystem moves at breakneck speed, but security and compliance have become non-negotiable requirements for growth. Enterprise customers demand SOC 2 Type II reports before signing contracts. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the CPRA, impose strict data privacy obligations on companies handling California residents' data.
Panicle Tech embeds security into the development lifecycle for SaaS startups, growth-stage companies, and established tech firms. We help teams prepare for a SOC 2 attestation without grinding product development to a halt, implement CCPA-compliant data handling, and build the security posture that enterprise buyers require.
For companies handling health data, we address HIPAA requirements. For those processing payments, PCI-DSS compliance. And for the growing number of AI/ML companies in the Bay Area, we help navigate emerging AI governance frameworks and model security considerations.
Our approach is developer-centric: we integrate security controls into CI/CD pipelines, automate compliance evidence collection, and build security cultures that scale with your engineering organization.
