80% reduction in workload: How Evergrowth achieved security compliance in record time

Certificates

ISO 27001

SOC 2

Challenge

As an innovative AI-driven customer intelligence platform operating in both the EU and the U.S., Evergrowth needed to ensure their data security met the highest industry standards. Their customers required proof of compliance with certifications like ISO 27001 in Europe and SOC2 in the U.S. Without these certifications, sales cycles would slow down, and trust-building with enterprise clients would become increasingly difficult.

However, as a fast-growing startup, Evergrowth needed to focus its resources on growth rather than navigating complex certification processes. To streamline compliance, while minimizing internal efforts, they turned to external experts in cybersecurity compliance.

Solution

After researching various solutions, including Vanta and Drata, Evergrowth chose CyberUpgrade. They were particularly impressed by our Slack bot, which automatically gathers compliance evidence, and our platform’s gap analysis capabilities, enabling teams to efficiently track progress and focus on areas that need attention. Having experienced the compliance process before, they knew how challenging it could be, and this automation made a significant difference.

Unlike larger providers that offered minimal customer support, CyberUpgrade provided dedicated assistance, ensuring Evergrowth’s internal resources were used effectively and where they were needed the most.

"CyberUpgrade reduces compliance workload by 80%, cutting daily efforts from hours to just minutes. Achieving ISO 27001 certification in three months was a major milestone - allowing us to focus on growth while ensuring top-tier security and brand credibility."
