Case Study: Ashby Automates SOC 2 Compliance and Accelerates Growth with Vanta

How Ashby (YC W19) automated SOC 2 and scaled their business with Vanta

Ashby, a San Francisco-based recruiting platform, needed a better way to manage SOC 2 compliance as it grew from startup to enterprise-facing business. Before working with Vanta, the team relied on spreadsheets to track requirements and prepare for audits, which was time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to scale as security and compliance needs increased.

With Vanta’s SOC 2 solution, Ashby automated evidence gathering, centralized compliance management, and gained continuous monitoring to stay audit-ready between cycles. The result was an estimated 4–8 hours saved per week, a smoother audit process that helped Ashby complete its latest SOC 2 audit in just six weeks, and stronger trust with enterprise customers while supporting expansion into new markets.
