Exo Leverages Akitra to Complete Compliance for SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA All at Once

Akitra’s seamless multi-framework support is the key to an efficient, comprehensive compliance process.

The Challenge

Exo provides solutions to large healthcare providers requiring their vendors to comply fully with frameworks such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 in international markets. Supporting multiple frameworks can cause compliance complexity and duplication of effort – which could have imposed a significant burden on Exo and potentially lead to go-to-market delays for its highly innovative, AI-enabled medical imaging solution.

“Exo is providing a healthcare solution for customers across the globe, as part of this we needed to become compliant with SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001. We knew that we needed a compliance automation partner to make the certification process efficient to accomplish our goal. Akitra provided us the solution we needed to be able to efficiently achieve compliance.”
