Legal & compliance support for technology companies that can't afford to let admin slow down growth

By Zack Pennington, CEO Updated

Technology companies face a constant stream of legal and compliance overhead: NDAs with every new enterprise prospect, vendor agreements piling up before a product launch, SOC 2 or GDPR documentation that someone has to actually organize and maintain. Most founders and ops leads handle this themselves until it becomes unsustainable. A Nacho EA takes the administrative layer off your plate so your legal counsel can focus on the work that actually requires a law degree.

Can a Virtual Assistant handle legal & compliance support for tech companies?

Yes. Nacho matches tech companies with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist who owns legal & compliance support week after week, not a one-off task. Onboarding starts with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, your Talent Budget starts at $1,000 a month, and matching takes about a week.

How it works

How delegated legal & compliance support works for tech companies

A Nacho Executive Assistant working in legal and compliance support for a tech company typically handles the coordination and documentation work that sits between your legal team and the rest of the business. That means tracking NDA status across counterparties in tools like DocuSign or PandaDoc, maintaining a contract repository in Notion or Google Drive with consistent naming conventions and expiration alerts, and following up with vendors or partners on outstanding signatures so nothing stalls a deal. For compliance workflows, your EA can help populate and organize evidence folders for SOC 2 audits, track policy review cycles, and manage the intake queue for data subject access requests (DSARs) under GDPR or CCPA. Your role is to review and approve anything that requires legal judgment, your EA handles the logistics so that work actually gets done on schedule.

Off your plate

What comes off your plate

Before your first session, pull together a list of every recurring legal or compliance task you're currently handling yourself, even the ones that take only 20 minutes, and note which tools you're using for each. The most common mistake is handing off 'legal admin' as a vague category without specifying where documents live, who the counterparties are, and what 'done' looks like for each task type. The more concrete your starting inventory, the faster your EA can take ownership without coming back to you for clarification on every document.

  1. NDA Tracking and Routing

    Manages the full lifecycle of NDAs in DocuSign or PandaDoc: sending, following up on unsigned agreements, and logging executed copies to a centralized contract tracker.

  2. Contract Repository Maintenance

    Organizes executed agreements in Google Drive or Notion with standardized naming, folder structure, and expiration date tagging so nothing falls through the cracks at renewal time.

  3. SOC 2 Audit Evidence Organization

    Collects and organizes evidence artifacts from internal teams: screenshots, policy docs, access logs, into the folder structure required by your auditor or compliance platform like Vanta or Drata.

  4. DSAR Intake and Response Coordination

    Logs incoming data subject access requests, tracks the 30-day response deadline, and coordinates with engineering or data teams to gather the required information for legal review.

  5. Policy Review Cycle Management

    Maintains a calendar of annual or quarterly policy reviews, sends reminders to document owners, and tracks sign-off status for policies like your Acceptable Use Policy, Privacy Policy, and Information Security Policy.

The model

What delegating to Nacho actually looks like

This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.

  1. Start with a Delegation Strategy Plan

    A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.

  2. Get matched in about a week

    We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Executive Assistant or Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.

  3. Set a monthly Talent Budget

    Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. For technical work, that senior seat is usually a Fractional CTO. See pricing in detail.

  4. Three months, then month to month

    The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Can an EA handle compliance work if they're not a lawyer or certified compliance professional?
Yes, because the work being delegated is administrative, not legal. Your EA manages document organization, deadline tracking, evidence collection, and stakeholder coordination, tasks that don't require legal judgment but do require reliability and attention to detail. Anything that requires interpretation or legal sign-off stays with your counsel.
We use Vanta for SOC 2 compliance. Can your EAs work in that platform?
Nacho EAs are tool-agnostic and can work in Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, or whatever compliance platform you use. During onboarding, your Client Success Manager will document the specific workflows and access levels needed so your EA can operate within your existing setup from day one.
How do you handle confidentiality given the sensitive nature of legal documents?
All Nacho team members sign NDAs as part of their engagement, and your EA will work within whatever access controls you set: whether that's role-based permissions in Google Drive, DocuSign, or a contract management system. Your Client Success Manager will help you define the access scope during the onboarding process.
