Case Study: BARR Advisory streamlines questionnaire responses with Whistic

BARR Advisory Streamlines Questionnaire Responses and Reduces Friction with Whistic

BARR Advisory, a virtual CISO and security advisory firm for technology and cloud providers, needed a better way to handle the repetitive, time-consuming security questionnaires it completed for clients. The process was centralized and difficult to manage, often taking more than half of one employee’s time and delaying sales cycles by up to a week. To address this, BARR Advisory turned to Whistic Profile from Whistic.

With Whistic, BARR Advisory created public and private profiles for clients to streamline questionnaire responses and share security information proactively. The result: 90% of profile shares are accepted with no follow-up, response time dropped from five days to one, and the team saves 6.5 hours each week. Whistic helped BARR Advisory reduce friction, speed up customer responses, and free the team to focus on more strategic work.
