To complete SOC 2 Type 1 audit

The challenge

StepSecurity, founded in late 2021, builds a platform that helps developers apply software supply-chain security best practices and remediate issues through automated pull requests. As it began serving enterprise customers in regulated industries such as healthcare and finance, prospects required a SOC 2-compliant partner. As an early-stage startup, the team wanted to achieve compliance quickly and affordably without diverting focus from product and growth.

The solution

StepSecurity signed up for Sprinto's Ignite program for startups and integrated the platform with its AWS-based stack. A guided action plan, automated checks, and a tiered escalation system for failing checks helped the team identify and prioritize security gaps.

Although we did have weekly calls after the initial setup, the streamlined process felt effortless, and everything seemed to run on autopilot.
