The Challenge

Navigating Data Security Challenges in a Growing Client Base

Converve needed to better protect sensitive participant data, especially as they started working with larger clients who had strict legal requirements. They were spending a lot of time filling out monthly security questionnaires and responding to complicated questions from clients' legal teams.

As they grew their client base, particularly among consulting firms with high data security needs, Converve realized they needed a quicker way to show they were serious about data protection. Even though no major client pushed them for it, they saw the chance to improve their security practices and make compliance easier while also building trust with their clients.

The Solution

The partner you need for seamless ISO 27001 compliance

Converve didn't want to face the tough compliance process alone. They wanted to meet their goals faster and more efficiently.

Secfix helped Converve find a clear path to ISO certification, making it easier for them to tackle their data security issues. Instead of starting from scratch, Secfix provided an automated checklist and clear roadmap that allowed Converve to quickly assess what they had and make necessary changes. The platform was essential in organizing their documents and guiding them through the certification steps.

Regular meetings with the Secfix team were a big help. They offered not just technical support but also motivation, which kept Converve engaged in the certification process despite the often dull nature of compliance tasks. The platform’s interactive features, like progress tracking and identifying areas for improvement, made the process easier—and even fun.

Converve liked how the platform made some parts of the certification journey feel like a game. By aiming to improve their ISO score, they stayed focused and motivated, eventually achieving their certification goal while enhancing their data security.
