“For a number of businesses we'd spoken to previously, they'd like the product but wouldn't even let us get a foot in the door because we didn't have a SOC 2 report. Now we know that the only thing that's gonna stop us winning business is down to the quality of the products—that's quite promising for us.”
“Most of our business now comes from enterprise customers and sometimes it was a complete no-go if we didn't have SOC 2.”
“We were getting to a size where our processes were pretty robust. We had put a lot of work into making things more secure, more reliable, and scalable.”
“Secureframe kind of felt like the 'just right' option of the three we looked at. It was a good, reputable platform with professional people and an affordable price.”
“We automate almost all of our processes. That's how we're able to operate as a two-person business, and so we wanted something that was tech-first and highly integrated.”
“It was easy to get started immediately. We were able to link up a number of systems, which made it feel like we started to make some progress from day one.”
“Having all the guidance written already, templates for policies, questionnaires for vendors, and things like that just guided us through the process.”
“We were able to speak to our account manager regularly, which was very valuable. Gerald would check in from time to time and he was also very responsive when we had questions.”
“Just knowing that someone has got an answer, or will find you an answer to any of the things that you can't figure out—that was very valuable.”
“They were very helpful and pragmatic. They gave us some advice and tips on some additional tests we might want to put in scope.”
“As soon as we were able to really focus on it, it probably only took two to three weeks of hands-on actual time to make sure everything was in place.”
“There'd been a few recent prospects asking about SOC 2, and because we were able to say we completed our audit already, that managed to stop having the door closed.”
“It's a sign of a more legitimate business in some way because you don't get a lot of small businesses that go through the process.”
“Going through the process just helped us grow up as a business a bit more. Reading these policies, going into our audit window, forced us to be more professional.”
“In the platform, we set schedules for all of our different tests and evidence collections so we'll get reminders when we need to add things in.”
“There's a lot of overlap with SOC 2 and ISO 27001, as you can see in the platform. Assuming we close new business through our SOC 2 report, it's almost a no-brainer to add on ISO.”
“Secureframe has great people to work with and it's a solid platform that's going to ensure that you can get your SOC 2 in an efficient time.”
