Praisidio’s customers include large enterprises that require multiple security and compliance certificates before signing on, and Praisidio set their sights on achieving their SOC 2 Type II. Deciding to get SOC 2 certified was an easy choice for a company with a focus on security — but how to get started proved more complicated. Praisidio considered gathering evidence manually or hiring a full-time SOC 2 staff role. They discussed their options with several IT directors at larger companies, some of whom employed teams of 5-20 people to manage their SOC 2 process. 

Hiring new staff and building out a SOC 2 team? Praisidio thought there must be a better way to achieve SOC 2 compliance — and they were right.

‍

Praisidio turned to Vanta for its proven expertise in guiding teams through the SOC 2 process with ease — especially first-timers. Vanta simplified Praisidio’s SOC 2 journey, paving the way for a smooth audit and Praisidio’s successful completion of their first SOC 2 Type II certificate — a particularly notable achievement for a company not yet a year old.

Praisidio’s SOC 2 compliance journey could have been tedious and time-consuming, requiring new staff and more. Instead, Vanta streamlined Praisidio’s security and compliance program with easy policy templates and real-time monitoring of controls — saving Praisidio time and money.

“In our experience, 80% of the evidence auditors seek is addressed if Vanta screens are green.”’
