Case Study: Andesite cuts external ISO audit evidence review from 30 hours to 3.5 with TrustCloud
Key results
The challenge
Andesite, a stealth-mode AI security platform, started with no policies or processes and faced a FedRAMP High readiness deadline of February 2025 to support its commercial launch. The security and compliance function had to be built from scratch with limited resources.
The solution
Andesite deployed TrustCloud to map FedRAMP High controls to concrete requirements, run continuous control monitoring that programmatically tests controls across Google Workspace and core infrastructure daily, and manage third-party risk. TrustCloud experts worked alongside the small internal team to accelerate maturity.
“Continuous auditing and third-party risk management gave us the agility of a startup with the rigor of an enterprise.”

The results, in context
Andesite reached FedRAMP internal readiness ahead of its February 2025 target and built a nearly 500-control compliance framework alongside SOC 2 Type I auditing in under 12 months with a very small team. External ISO auditors needed just 3.5 hours to review TrustCloud-driven evidence, down from 30 hours in prior engagements.
