Case Study: Cequence Security Achieves SOC 2 Recertification in 30 Days with Akitra

Akitra Helped Cequence Security Become Recertified for SOC 2 Within 30 Days Using Compliance Automation

Cequence Security, a provider of Unified API Protection solutions, faced a dire challenge: they needed to become recertified for SOC 2 Type I within a strict 30-day deadline to meet their customers' baseline requirements. Their previous experience with a manual, spreadsheet-driven PCI audit was tedious and time-consuming. Seeking to eliminate this inefficiency, they turned to the compliance automation solution from Akitra.

Akitra integrated Cequence's existing policies into its automated platform, mapping them to the necessary SOC 2 controls. With extensive support from Akitra's team, Cequence successfully achieved recertification on time. The automation reduced the program manager's workload by an estimated two-thirds and saved significant time for other teams, allowing them to focus on higher-value work. As a result of the successful partnership, Cequence also plans to use Akitra for their future PCI DSS compliance needs.
