Client Overview

The technology service provider, known for its robust platform solutions, supports clients across industries with a focus on reliability, scalability, and security.

As data protection regulations tightened and customer expectations regarding compliance increased, the tech service provider recognized the need to formalize and centralize its information security management practices, particularly in relation to ISO 27001 and GDPR.

Challenges

Before SecureSlate, the tech service provider managed compliance using only spreadsheets and document repositories. This approach quickly became unsustainable as requirements expanded and audits loomed.

Despite these hurdles, the tech service provider remained committed to developing a scalable, sustainable compliance process that could support ISO 27001, GDPR, and eventually SOC 2.

Solution

The tech service provider adopted SecureSlate , an automated compliance platform built to simplify frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR.

Within just a few weeks, the team found the platform easy to navigate, with responsive customer support that made onboarding a simple process.

SecureSlate’s automation, centralized document controls, and guided workflows allowed the tech service provider to reduce manual effort and accelerate their compliance readiness.

Key features used:

• Guided workflows for ISO 27001 and GDPR readiness
• Centralized document repository
• Built-in controls, mapping, and evidence management
• Responsive customer support during setup and review

Results / Impacts

After using SecureSlate for 3–6 months , the tech service provider achieved several tangible benefits:

• Simplified Compliance: The team could easily navigate ISO and GDPR frameworks without external consultants.

• Audit Preparation Made Easier: Even with feedback about document organization, the team found SecureSlate instrumental in preparing audit-ready evidence.
• Exceptional Support Experience: With proactive guidance from SecureSlate’s support team, implementation hurdles were quickly resolved.

Client Feedback

While the tech service provider is currently focused on maintaining compliance with ISO 27001 and GDPR , the team is already exploring the possibility of extending the program to include SOC 2 certification in the future, all within SecureSlate.

Also noted that while improvements in document alignment and audit file organization would further enhance the experience, SecureSlate remains a strong foundation for ongoing compliance success.

A tech staff member rated her overall satisfaction at 9/10 and the likelihood to recommend SecureSlate at 10/10, reflecting the significant value the platform brought to their compliance journey.

By centralizing frameworks, automating evidence management, and providing accessible expert support, SecureSlate enabled the team to focus less on administrative overhead and more on strategic security initiatives.
