Case Study: Pathway Communications achieves streamlined, consolidated compliance and faster audits with A-LIGN

The Path to Compliance with Pathway Communications

Pathway Communications, a provider of data center, cloud, telecom, and IT services, was struggling with declining service quality from its prior compliance firm—ten separate assessments had become slow, transactional, and poorly coordinated. To find a partner that could consolidate standards and adopt a strategic, tech-enabled approach, Pathway Communications engaged A-LIGN and its in-house auditing team and compliance technology services.

A-LIGN implemented a consolidated, technology-driven auditing ecosystem—centralizing multiple compliance workflows, providing clear timelines and milestones, automating key tasks, and committing to a 24-hour response policy. As a result, Pathway Communications completed a consolidated compliance program that included SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3, CSAE 3416, HIPAA, PHIPA, PIPEDA, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS, shortened audit cycles, established ongoing penetration testing, and gained a proactive compliance posture that enabled digital transformation and helped attract larger clients.
