Case Study: Shippo Achieves SOC 2 Compliance with Akitra

Shippo Achieves SOC 2 Compliance to meet needs of its Customers Requiring a Trusted, Secure Vendor

Shippo, a provider of shipping services for world-leading companies, needed to achieve SOC 2 compliance to meet the security assurance requirements of its customers and prospects. Their challenge was to make the compliance process repeatable and sustainable without overburdening their security and IT teams with manual effort. To meet this challenge, they turned to the compliance automation solutions from vendor Akitra.

Using the Akitra platform, evidence for SOC 2 compliance was automatically collected and mapped to the correct controls. This automation saved Shippo an estimated 250 hours of manual effort for their teams. Furthermore, the integrated platform made the external audit process speedy and efficient. As a result, Shippo successfully achieved its SOC 2 attestation, which immediately helped to cut deal friction, speed up negotiations, and make partnerships easier by providing proven security to customers.
