Shortcut wanted to go up market and sell more into the enterprise space. In that process, they received numerous requests for a SOC 2 from prospects. The team knew that obtaining a SOC 2 would not only open the door to larger customers, but would also provide the framework to be a more secure organization. Shortcut knew very little about the SOC 2 process but realized they needed a partner who was knowledgeable in the space and could guide them in improving their security posture.
