Achieving Security Compliance Rapidly: Flume Achieves SOC 2 Type II with Akitra’s Agentic AI-Powered Compliance Automation Platform
Blending automation with human expertise, Akitra helped Flume meet enterprise-grade security requirements without slowing down innovation.
Flume is redefining how homeowners manage water consumption through innovative smart home technology. Their intuitive solution delivers real-time data on household water usage, empowering customers to save money and conserve resources.
As Flume expanded into larger enterprise partnerships, security compliance quickly became a non-negotiable requirement. To meet customer demands, build trust, and remain audit-ready, the company partnered with Akitra’s Agentic AI-enabled compliance automation platform to successfully achieve SOC 2 Type II attestation.
The Challenge
Before engaging Akitra, Flume faced several roadblocks on its compliance journey:
No Prior SOC 2 Experience: The team had never gone through a compliance audit before, making the process feel overwhelming.
Limited Resources: With no dedicated compliance staff, progress risked becoming slow and fragmented.
Disorganized Documentation: Policies existed but were scattered, making it difficult to compile evidence for an audit.
Customer Pressure: An upcoming enterprise contract required SOC 2 as a prerequisite, creating a hard deadline.
Lack of Direction: The team was unsure which policies to prioritize, what evidence auditors required, or how to structure the process.
The clarity and control we gained through Akitra’s Andromeda, an Agentic AI-powered Compliance Automation Platform, was incredible. Everything we needed for SOC 2 Type II, from evidence to reporting, was automated, reliable, and always audit-ready. For a small team like ours, Akitra felt like a true partner we needed to get through compliance successfully. It saved us time, money, and gave us the confidence to pursue bigger partnerships.
