Their adaptable, data-first agreements platform aims to improve contract management and provide competitive advantage for legal departments, procurement teams, and sales operations.
As the company experienced rapid growth within the past four years, Agiloft began targeting larger enterprise customers in addition to its strong presence in the mid-market space. Since the expectations of its customers evolved, Agiloft required a more robust approach to security and compliance.
When Agiloft’s security team assessed their position in the market, they decided to pursue an ISO 27001 certification and a SOC 1 Type 2 report to meet customer expectations. By working with A-LIGN, Agiloft was able to successfully complete these audits to support their business’s needs.
The Challenge: Exponential Growth & Need for Multiple Certifications
Agiloft’s experience in earning a SOC 2 report with a previous auditor highlighted the importance of seamless communication and a strong feedback loop throughout the audit process. Unfortunately, their previous auditor fell short in these areas, resulting in frustration and inefficiency.
In addition to a frustrating audit experience, Agiloft recognized the need to go above and beyond the SOC 2 attestations to demonstrate their commitment to security to their increasingly diverse customer base that included global enterprises and big brands. Larger organizations started to inquire about other cybersecurity certifications, such as ISO 27001 and SOC 1 compliance, and how Agiloft planned to manage their needs around custom controls in their specific industry.
However, their small team had not previously undergone an ISO 27001 certification or a SOC 1 report. Because of their previous experience with IT security certification, Agiloft required an experienced, efficient, and educated audit provider.
The Solution: Streamlined & Efficient ISO 27001 & SOC 1 Audits
After recognizing the need for an overall better experience and researching other auditors in the marketplace, Agiloft turned to A-LIGN for their compliance assessment needs.
