Akitra is About Customer Trust

As a service provider, your customers need to trust that you will safeguard their data. To trust you, they need assurance that your security measures are compliant with frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI DSS – or whatever standard your customers require.
