Case Study: Blend lowers compliance audit time with Coalfire coordinated assessment services

Blend cuts audit cycle from 6 months to 3 months with Coalfire

Blend, a provider of cloud-based banking platforms, faced the challenge of managing its compliance audits for PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 in a decentralized and inefficient manner. This process involved duplicated work, lengthy audit cycles, and significant disruptions to its engineering teams. To consolidate these efforts and improve outcomes, Blend partnered with Coalfire to utilize its coordinated assessment service.

Coalfire implemented its integrated audit approach, supported by the CoalfireOne platform, to coordinate evidence collection and conduct a single, combined on-site walkthrough. This solution reduced Blend's audit cycle from six months to just three, resulting in significant time and cost savings. The Coalfire engagement also provided Blend with deeper, more insightful recommendations for process improvements beyond simple checkbox compliance.
