How DBTEZ Turned SOC 2 Compliance into Competitive Advantage and Saved Significant Time
Akitra’s White Glove Support Becomes DBTEZ’s Roadmap to Compliance Success.
As the digital landscape evolves, so do the regulatory frameworks governing it. In the dynamic world of software consulting and product development, DBTEZ stands as a beacon of innovation and excellence. DBTEZ embarked on a revolutionary SOC 2 Type II compliance journey, a process that typically requires significant time and resources, by partnering with Akitra, a name widely known for its efficiency and inventiveness in automating compliance. Akitra provided DBTEZ not only with a solution but also with a strategic partnership that has the potential to transform its compliance strategy completely.
The Challenge
As DBTEZ expanded its reach and diversified its services, the need to uphold data security, privacy, and regulatory compliance became increasingly critical. Obtaining
SOC 2 Type II compliance attestation was imperative to instill customer confidence while safeguarding sensitive data assets.
Some notable challenges encountered by DBTEZ included:
Complicated Compliance Environment: Lacking any prior experience, DBTEZ was dumped into a complex web of compliance standards, finding it difficult to understand legal terms and the particular requirements of SOC 2 compliance framework.
Painstaking Manual Procedures: Gerard Antony, CEO and Founder of DBTEZ thought back to the labor-intensive, rigorous manual compliance efforts of the past, which required detailed attention and took a great deal of time to complete.
Extensive Documentation Demands: The compliance process demanded thorough documentation, from drafting policies to maintaining records, which overwhelmed the team with paperwork and procedural details.
Stricter Regulations: Modern compliance standards have become more stringent, reducing the margin for error and increasing the pressure on companies to meet and maintain these rigorous standards.
Resource-Intensive Efforts: The manual compliance required a significant portion of the team’s effort, diverting resources from core business activities and impacting overall productivity.
Partnering with Akitra for our SOC 2 attestation was a game changer for us. Their platform’s automation capabilities saved us countless hours compared to manual efforts, allowing us to prioritize our core business objectives. It has given us greater confidence in what we are doing and in what we are looking forward to in this coming year.
