Pre-product security takes priority at Push

THE COMPANY

Pushing the envelope in online payments

Push is a cutting-edge online payment platform dedicated to safeguarding customer data. Founded by a team with roots at Plaid, Push has embedded security into the core of its operations. In partnership with Vanta and VioletX, Push has established a foundation where security is not just a priority but a fundamental value.

THE CHALLENGE

Building trust in a competitive digital landscape

Recognizing the paramount importance of security and compliance, Push's co-founders, Eric and Andrew, understood that their platform's success hinged on reassuring users about their robust security measures. The increasing demand for transparency and compliance with standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 created a pressing challenge: achieving these certifications with a growing team and limited resources.

As Push grew, navigating complex security reviews and compliance attestations under tight client deadlines became a significant hurdle. They needed a solution to efficiently establish trust while maintaining their focus on innovation.

THE SOLUTION

Strategic partnerships for seamless security

To address these challenges, Push partnered with Vanta for automated compliance solutions and VioletX for hands-on strategic guidance in security and compliance.

VioletX played a pivotal role in developing and implementing a comprehensive SOC 2 framework tailored to Push's needs. By aligning security practices with the company's operations, VioletX ensured that Push's security posture met industry standards. Their expertise also helped prioritize critical security investments, working directly with engineering teams to resolve vulnerabilities, establish clear policies, and prepare for a successful SOC 2 audit.

Meanwhile, Vanta's automated compliance tools streamlined ongoing monitoring and evidence gathering, reducing the internal team's workload and enabling a proactive approach to compliance across various frameworks.
