Compliance as infrastructure.
Virtual Compliance Officer
Existo’s VCO program puts our compliance experts on the front line of your operation — implementing programs, managing audits, and assessing risk as your dedicated resource.
Existo Certified™
Our proprietary compliance program that documents your business processes, audits them on a regular basis, and tracks every modification through change management software.
Compliance as a Service
Ongoing CaaS coverage across all key state and local regulations — finance, banking, security, technology, and operations. Full-spectrum compliance, not piecemeal.
Metrc Consulting
As one of the most validated Metrc consultants in the US, we implement the seed-to-sale framework into your operation — saving time, preventing violations, and keeping your license clean.
Licensing & Permitting
Application preparation, regulatory strategy, and agency communication for new licenses and renewals across all facility types and state markets.
Audit Prep & Response
Pre-audit assessments, gap identification, corrective action plans, and on-site support during regulatory inspections. We’ve walked into every kind of audit.
Compliance isn’t a department. It’s the operating system underneath your business.
Every cannabis operator knows compliance matters. But most treat it as a cost center — something they deal with when an audit is coming or a violation lands. That approach works until it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t, the consequences are license suspensions, fines, or worse.
Existo approaches compliance differently. We build it into the infrastructure of your operation from day one — so that being compliant is the default state, not the exception. Your SOPs, your Metrc workflows, your security protocols, your documentation — all engineered to hold up under scrutiny without last-minute scrambling.
Virtual Compliance Officer (VCO)
Not every operation needs a full-time compliance hire — but every operation needs compliance leadership. Our VCO program embeds Existo’s team as your dedicated compliance resource. We implement and manage your compliance program, oversee due diligence on third-party relationships, create action plans for audit findings, and continuously assess operational risk.
Think of it as a fractional compliance department — the same expertise and attention, without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.
Existo Certified™
Our proprietary program designed to keep your business processes aligned with state and local regulation. We identify and document your necessary processes, then audit them on a regular cadence. When regulations change, we notify you of required modifications and track every update through our change management software — creating an auditable paper trail that regulators respect.
Metrc — Seed-to-Sale Compliance
Metrc is the regulatory tracking system used across multiple states, and it’s where compliance violations most commonly originate. As one of the most validated Metrc consultants in the United States, Existo knows the system inside and out — from initial setup and staff training to ongoing troubleshooting and reconciliation.
We don’t just teach your team how to use Metrc. We architect your workflows so that Metrc compliance happens naturally as part of daily operations, not as an afterthought at the end of the day.
Compliance as a Service (CaaS)
Budgets are tightening. Regulations are getting tougher. Compliance has become more expensive. Existo’s CaaS program provides ongoing, full-spectrum compliance coverage — not just cultivation and Metrc, but finance and banking compliance, security protocols, technology systems, and operational standards.
This is compliance as a managed service. We proactively identify new risks, monitor regulatory changes, and keep your operation aligned across every surface regulators touch.
On-Site Support & Continued Partnership
Sometimes the work requires boots on the ground. We regularly spend days at client facilities resolving regulatory issues, conducting pre-audit reviews, training staff, and tightening processes that have drifted. Compliance isn’t a one-time deliverable — it’s an ongoing relationship, and we show up for the long haul.
