The Challenge

Tanso aimed to achieve ISO 27001 certification to support its growth

As Tanso grew rapidly, they recognized the need to obtain ISO 27001 certification to support their expansion. Though the process often takes a year or more, they set an ambitious goal to complete it in just three months.

For startups scaling quickly, ISO 27001 is essential to ensure strong data security practices and reduce risks as their operations become more complex. It helps establish clear processes for managing sensitive information, preventing security breaches, and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. By achieving certification, Tanso could strengthen its internal controls, streamline operations, and position itself for sustained growth and stability.

The Solution

Automated ISO 27001 compliance and startup-friendly templates

To meet their tight 3-month deadline, Tanso needed to automate most of the process. Without automation, there wouldn’t have been enough time. Secfix made this possible by automating key tasks like document management, compliance tracking, and evidence collection. They also offered ready-made templates and checklists for ISO 27001, which helped Tanso keep everything organized and meet all the requirements quickly.

Why Secfix

Secfix's user-friendly platform and extensive network of auditors

Tanso thought that Secfix had a good, user-friendly platform that perfectly suited their needs.

Secfix's team and live chat support: A dedicated customer success manager was always available to provide real-time help, answer questions, and quickly solve any issues. This instant communication was essential, especially with the tight certification deadline, making sure Tanso never felt stuck during the process.
Secfix’s wide network of auditors was also key. The auditor assigned to Tanso already knew the Secfix platform, which made it easier to present and verify evidence. This sped up the audit process, helping Tanso achieve certification faster.
Another reason Tanso chose Secfix was because of the platform’s rapid development. For example, Secfix recently introduced the Trust Center, a tool that allows Tanso to manage and display their compliance status to build trust with customers. Secfix also offers other products, like GDPR tools, which Tanso can easily use in the future.
