## Resource

In episode 103 of Product-Led Growth with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore why more PLG SaaS companies are adding self-serve SOC 2 report access directly inside the product. They break down the specific trigger—enterprise prospects demanding security reviews before a sales call—and walk through how companies like Vanta and Drata now embed compliance document portals that let buyers self-serve. Lucas shares data on how this reduces sales cycle time by 30 percent and boosts close rates for mid-market deals. Luna challenges whether SOC 2 alone is enough, prompting a discussion on how to tier compliance documentation based on buyer maturity. The episode also touches on the tension between making compliance feel effortless and the risk of buyers missing context. Real examples from tools like Wiz and Loom illustrate the evolution from PDF-on-request to in-product compliance hubs. A fresh angle for anyone building product-led sales motions that need to clear enterprise security gates without adding friction. #ProductLedGrowth #SaaS #SOC2 #Compliance #SelfServe #EnterpriseSales #SecurityReviews #Vanta #Drata #Wiz #Loom #SalesCycle #MidMarket #BuyerExperience #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
