Cloud Security
Stackwise was closing its first enterprise customers when security reviews began to stall deals. Buyers wanted a SOC 2 report, and the small engineering team had no time to spare for months of compliance work.
The target was ambitious: be audit-ready within one quarter, without slowing the product team and without creating policies nobody would follow.
Readiness plan
A focused gap assessment turned the framework into a short, prioritised plan. Each control received a named owner, and scope was kept tight around the systems that mattered to customers.
Controls and automation
We tightened cloud access, formalised change management and connected existing tools for automatic evidence collection. Policies were written to match how the team already worked, so they were easy to keep following.
Results
Stackwise completed its SOC 2 Type I audit in 90 days with zero exceptions, which unblocked three enterprise deals. The same controls now give the team a strong starting point for Type II.
We went from dreading security questionnaires to sending our report the same day. It changed our sales conversations.
