High-growth Business-to-business (B2B) Software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that leverages its platform’s cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to provide comprehensive physical security solutions to its growing number of Fortune 100 clients operating in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, financial etc..
The company had a growing team primarily focused on meeting the demands of rapid business growth with a tight deadline for meeting contractual requirements imposed by several Fortune 100 prospective and existing customers. While the company had highly skilled technical experts including AWS specialists that maintained their technology platform, they lacked a competent cybersecurity compliance expert who could assist with the interpretation, design, implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS).
CITSAP worked with the client to develop a roadmap for achieving ISO 27001 compliance within a six-month period which included helping with the scoping of key systems, gap assessment, remediation, and readiness evaluation. In addition, CITSAP served as the key liaison with both the internal and external auditors, helping to broker communication between both parties including review and evaluation of all supporting evidence before provision to the auditor. CITSAP’s solution helped the client to integrate the ISO 27001 requirements into the company’s existing control environment while leveraging the end-to-end automated compliance features, evidence collection, and continuous controls monitoring to achieve the client’s compliance goals most seamlessly.
The company achieved its ISO 27001 certification with zero non-compliance in six (6) months, ahead of the industry standard of 12-18 months for a company of its size and complexity. With the achievement of the ISO 27001 certification, the company has been able to increase its credibility in the marketplace as a company that prioritizes the protection and privacy of customer data, increased customer trust, and significantly opened new business opportunities with additional Fortune 100 companies.
