CHALLENGES

Hypertec Cloud, a leading provider of cloud technology solutions, had been planning to achieve SOC 2 Type 2 compliance for some time. 

A few years back, they successfully completed a SOC 2 Type 1 audit, but the complexity of the planning process for Type 2 led them to delay their compliance efforts. Their gap analysis alone had taken more than 4 months of time and resources.

The need for SOC 2 compliance became increasingly pressing as Hypertec Cloud sought to capitalize on market opportunities. 

They recognized that lacking SOC 2 compliance meant missing out on potential customers who required this certification. 

For lean technology companies like Hypertec Cloud, the missing piece of the puzzle was finding a trusted partner to navigate the SOC 2 compliance process efficiently.

“Mindsec was the missing piece of the puzzle.”

SOLUTION

Hypertec Cloud partnered with Mindsec to unblock potential customer opportunities and address their concerns about navigating the SOC 2 compliance process without internal expertise. 

Mindsec’s team of experts combined with the SOC 2 compliance automation platform proved invaluable in simplifying and streamlining the entire process for Hypertec Cloud.

“Mindsec really made our whole process more efficient,” says Mike Gero, VP Operations at Hypertec Cloud.

“The value of the platform truly lies in the fact that it provides the team a structured workspace and defines and quantifies the roadmap for us. And when I want to measure my teams progress, I can simply open the dashboard and see exactly where we stand.”

“Their experts coordinated all the activities, ensured every step of the process was correct, and led us through the process. And that was really the missing piece of the puzzle to go through this in a reasonably fast pace.”

“It was like walking into a final exam we already knew the answers to.”

BENEFITS

Working with Mindsec offered several key benefits for Hypertec Cloud. Firstly, for smaller teams at lean technology companies, the combination of automation software and the professional team was unmatched, enabling Hypertec Cloud to streamline their compliance efforts effectively.

Hypertec Cloud also evaluated CPAs for SOC 2 compliance but found their approach lacking. “We knew how burdensome this process could be,” explains Gero, “but their limitation is that they’re not really providing any of the guidance and support along the way. They’re really just the auditor at the end that evaluates your test score so to speak, and with Mindsec, it was like having a tutor that made sure we’d be ready for the final exam.“

With Mindsec’s assistance, Hypertec Cloud successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance in 3 months – positioning themselves for accelerated growth by unlocking new customer opportunities. And now that the platform maintains their automated SOC 2 compliance for them, Hypertec Cloud takes the ultimate benefit of achieving continuous control of their security compliance.
