Akitra stepped in as more than just a software provider—they became DataPelago’s trusted compliance partner. Here’s how Akitra made things easy for DataPelago:
Automated Device Compliance Checks: Akitra Andromeda was installed on all company laptops to automatically track key security settings like disk encryption, firewalls, and antivirus protection—ensuring every device stayed compliant without manual effort.
Seamless Integrations: Akitra connected with DataPelago’s existing tools and CSPs, automatically pulling in the right evidence for audits. This eliminated the need for manual data collection and reduced the risk of missing anything important.
Built-in Employee Security Training: Security awareness training was integrated directly into the platform, making it easy for employees to complete required modules and stay informed about best practices.
Ongoing Expert Support: The Akitra team provided regular check-ins, answered questions, and gave hands-on guidance, acting as a true extension of the DataPelago team.
Step-by-Step Compliance Roadmap: Akitra laid out a clear, easy-to-follow plan for achieving SOC 2 and ISO 27001, breaking the process into manageable steps so the team always knew what to do next.
With Akitra’s support, DataPelago successfully completed both SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications—setting a strong foundation for security and compliance while keeping their team focused on innovation.
Here’s what they achieved:
SOC 2 & ISO 27001 Achieved in Record Time: DataPelago completed SOC 2 in 4–5 months and ISO 27001 in just 1–2 months later—with Akitra’s expert support and automation.
Continuous Monitoring and Evidence Collection: With Akitra, compliance became a part of daily operations. Evidence was automatically collected in real-time, removing the stress of last-minute preparations when audits rolled around.
Employee Training Completion: All team members completed their required security training directly on Akitra’s platform, ensuring the organization met one of the key compliance requirements with ease.
Always Audit-Ready: DataPelago is now continuously prepared for audits—with updated records, tracked controls, and complete visibility into their compliance status at all times.
Akitra turned what felt like a compliance beast into a smooth, automated process. They’re not just a platform—they’re an extension of our security team, always just a call away. With their support, we’re confident in our audit readiness and daily security posture without needing to overthink it.
