SOC 2 Type 2 accreditation is a difficult and demanding procedure. To secure customer data, firms must create and maintain strict security procedures. To obtain its accreditation, Uno.ai had to take multiple aspects into consideration, including:
Compliance Guidance: Team Uno.ai is very familiar with security controls and compliance standards like SOC 2. Even then, it is difficult and onerous for a team to understand the nuances and details of every control and how it applies to procedures, policies, and domain specific implementation.
Time-Consuming Process: SOC 2 compliance requires implementing relevant controls and documenting appropriate policies and procedures. Uno.ai is busy building an autonomous security platform and did not want to spend disproportionate amounts of time on manual tasks and needed an automated solution to speed up the process.
Cost-Effectiveness: Getting SOC 2 certified can be an expensive process. Uno.ai wanted to find a way to meet its certification objectives and work with some of the best professionals in the industry, while keeping things cost effective and within budget.
Akitra’s solution included software tools and expert guidance to facilitate compliance implementation. Uno.ai leveraged Akitra’s policy management and documentation tools to create and maintain its security policies and procedures. “From an integration perspective, it was seamless, ” stated Murugesan Guruswamy. “Akitra also provided Uno.ai with continuous monitoring capabilities, allowing them to track security incidents, analyze risks, and perform regular assessments to ensure ongoing compliance.”
