Case Study: Trace achieves SOC 2 compliance in 30 hours with Laika

SOC 2 in 30 Hours: How Laika Made Compliance Quick and Painless for Trace

Trace is a purchasing platform that helps finance teams at companies like NetSuite and QuickBooks simplify buying. Facing their first SOC 2 audit and no internal compliance experience, Trace engaged Laika — using Laika Knowledge Base as their compliance hub and Laika Concierge as an outsourced project manager — to make the process fast, simple, and startup-friendly.

Laika built Trace’s compliance program from scratch in the Knowledge Base, designed and implemented controls via Laika Concierge, and managed the auditor relationship end-to-end; as a result Trace received a SOC 2 final report within Q1 with less than 30 hours of work from their team. Laika’s approach reduced audit back-and-forth, strengthened Trace’s data protection, created a single repository for policies and evidence, and unlocked upmarket sales by demonstrating compliance to prospects.
