Re:Ask HN: Is the ISO 27001 certification worth it? by mrclark411 on Wednesday November 03, 2021 @06:26PM (#29101239)
We got a SOC2... and still get questionnaires. It's the worst. Companies are just outsourcing their security reviews to the vendor. Rather than rely on a 3rd party audited document companies want their custom questions answered. BUT - they aren't custom questions - it's the same questions for every vendor and they are very often poorly worded. Then when we turn them in - there's no follow up questions which to me implies that no one is reading them. Security theater...

I would argue it is "Compliance Theater."
