Turning Security Into Sales Advantage: How Akitra Helped Fluidfit.ai Achieve SOC 2 Type II Rapidly
With Akitra’s Agentic AI-powered automation, dashboard visibility, and hands-on support, Fluidfit.ai turned a first-time audit into an organized, on-schedule win.
As an AI workflow automation platform for visual media, Fluidfit.ai saw SOC 2 Type II as a step toward building customer trust, supporting sales conversations, and strengthening its security foundation early in its journey.
This was Fluidfit’s first compliance process. Yogesh Khatri, Product Quality Owner, Fluidfit.ai, explained that they wanted to complete compliance at the right time, so the company could grow sound and strong instead of facing compliance pressure later.
Fluidfit.ai partnered with Akitra, an Agentic AI-powered compliance automation platform, for a more organized path to SOC 2 Type II. With Akitra’s support, Fluidfit.ai completed the attestation on time.
The Challenge
As Fluidfit.ai prepared for its first SOC 2 Type II attestation, the team faced several practical needs.
First Compliance Journey: Fluidfit.ai and Yogesh Khatri, Product Quality Owner, Fluidfit.ai, were going through compliance for the first time, so the team needed a structured way to approach the process.
Building Trust Early: SOC 2 Type II was important for giving Fluidfit.ai an edge in sales and helping customers feel confident in the company’s security foundation.
Need for Aligned Support: Fluidfit.ai’s compliance work was being driven with remote workforce, so matching working hours, timely coordination, and accessible support were important as the team moved through its first SOC 2 Type II process.
Need for Smart Compliance Automation System: Fluidfit.ai needed a system that could simplify compliance workflows, provide templates, and make security requirements such as firewall installation and monitoring easier to manage.
Avoiding Unnecessary Manual Coordination: Fluidfit.ai wanted to reduce repeated manual follow-ups, scattered communication, and extra back-and-forth while moving through its first SOC 2 Type II process.
Akitra’s policy templates were like a lighthouse for me at times, and they saved us a good amount of work. The Akitra Andromeda® Compliance Automation Platform made it easy to see what was already sorted, from firewall installation and monitoring to hard disk encryption, and helped me know who I needed to reach out to.
