Case Study: Certn unblocks sales and automates security questionnaires with HyperComply and Drata

Certn cuts security questionnaire time by 98% with HyperComply

Certn, a leading SaaS company specializing in employee background checks, faced a major challenge in managing an overwhelming volume of manual security questionnaires from potential clients. This process was consuming 40 hours per week from their security team, creating immense pressure, slowing down sales, and hindering their ability to pursue enterprise customers without key compliance certifications like SOC 2. They turned to the vendor Hypercomply, along with Drata, for a solution.

By implementing Hypercomply to automate its security questionnaire process, Certn achieved a 98% reduction in the time spent on them. The Hypercomply solution auto-completed over 90% of questionnaire questions, which allowed the sales team to handle the process directly and freed the security team to focus on strategic initiatives. Furthermore, with help from Drata, Certn successfully achieved SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, enabling them to open up new enterprise sales channels that were previously unavailable.
