🌟 What Are We Building?¶

We're building GetCimple, a cybersecurity compliance SaaS platform designed specifically for Australian businesses with board directors. Our goal is to create a win-win relationship between:

Board Directors: Who need governance oversight and compliance assurance (our primary end users)
Management Teams: Who handle implementation and day-to-day operations (our secondary end users)

Our governance-first approach differentiates us by positioning GetCimple as a board-level governance tool rather than a technical security tool, emphasizing director oversight and compliance management.

Key Differentiators¶

Dual-target design serving both governance and implementation needs
Australian regulatory focus (Essential Eight, APRA CPS 234, Corporations Act)
Multi-board access for directors serving on multiple boards
Complete tenant isolation with no cross-company data sharing
