Case Study: Connective Broker Services cuts SOC 2 audits from 5 months to 5 weeks with Drata

Connective Broker Services cuts SOC 2 audit duration by 75% with Drata

Connective Broker Services, an Australian mortgage aggregator, faced a cumbersome and manual process for preparing its annual SOC 2 audits. Their challenge involved managing evidence through spreadsheets, SharePoint, and emails, which made it difficult to monitor controls effectively and led to audits that took four to five months to complete. To address this, they turned to the vendor Drata and its GRC platform.

By implementing Drata, Connective centralized evidence collection and automated control monitoring. This solution from Drata resulted in a 75% reduction in SOC 2 audit duration, cutting it from months down to just five weeks. Additional impacts included achieving 100% readiness for the Essential Eight framework in only two hours and reducing the time to respond to lender audit requests from hours to 30 seconds using the Drata Trust Center.
