Case Study: Topia Achieves SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Compliance with Akitra

Global Talent Mobility Firm Cuts Cost of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 Compliance by More than 50%

Topia, a global talent mobility firm, needed to achieve SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance to meet its multinational customers' requirements. The challenge was accomplishing this with a small internal team without dedicating excessive resources. To meet this objective, Topia turned to the compliance automation platform from vendor Akitra.

Akitra provided a comprehensive solution with customizable policies, controls, and a dashboard to track audit progress. This allowed Topia to streamline the process and handle external audits remotely with their auditors on the shared platform. As a result, Topia cut its hard dollar compliance costs by more than 50% and completed ISO 27001 certification faster than expected. Furthermore, achieving these certifications drastically reduced the number of security questionnaires from prospective customers, providing a significant competitive advantage.
