Mightycause Streamlines SOC 1 Type II Re-Attestation with Akitra's User-Friendly Platform, Personalized Support, and Empowering Experience
Efficiency, Accuracy, and Savings: How Akitra Transformed Mightycause’s Compliance Journey
As a leader in streamlining donation procedures and enabling giving events, Mightycause embarked on a revolutionary journey reinforcing its compliance operations. This mission was led by Mightycause’s Technical Project Coordinator, Jay Binoya, and its goal was to maintain the strict SOC 1 Type II compliance framework standards.
Mightycause team was introduced to Akitra through one of Akitra’s partners to help automate the SOC 1 custom controls for Mightycause’s compliance initiatives last year, leveraging Akitra next generation Compliance Automation Platform. With a successful track record of enabling many happy customers with complex and custom controls compliance requirements, Akitra became the obvious choice as a partner to help and guide the Mightycause team.
The Challenge
Mightycause encountered several points of friction in its compliance journey, which challenged its ability to meet the unique requirements of the SOC 1 Type II framework efficiently.
Manual Documentation: Mightycause team struggled to manually capture and validate compliance evidence, leading to inefficiencies and potential errors.
Time Constraints: Compounding their challenges was the limitation of time. It was increasingly difficult to allocate sufficient time and attention to the rigorous compliance requirements while balancing other projects.er expectations. As they expand their customer base, they face increased scrutiny regarding their disaster recovery, business continuity plans, and patch management processes.
We chose Akitra for their exceptional support. Their responsiveness and willingness to assist, whether with thorough explanations or jumping on a call to provide real-time guidance, made us feel valued and assured throughout our compliance journey.
