Case Study: Stormboard achieves SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance with Vanta

How Stormboard leverages Vanta to generate revenue and stay compliant

Stormboard, a SaaS visual collaboration and digital workspace company based in Edmonton, needed a faster way to prove security and compliance as it scaled. To win enterprise deals, the team had to achieve SOC 2 Type II and later GDPR compliance, but their DIY approach to SOC 2 Type I had taken months and pulled focus away from growth. Vanta was brought in as the compliance partner, using its automation platform to reduce the burden on the small team.

With Vanta, Stormboard streamlined policy creation, evidence collection, offboarding templates, and continuous monitoring, while also integrating with its cloud tech stack. The result was a much faster compliance process—Michael Bollman said SOC 2 Type II took “days” with Vanta versus months doing Type I themselves—and the company gained the security confidence needed to scale, support enterprise customers, and stay compliant with SOC 2 Type II and GDPR.
