Imagine getting an email from a client saying that they’re only going to work with vendors that are SOC 2 compliant beginning next quarter. That’s the email InfoHandler got earlier this year. Thankfully, they got in touch quickly. We partnered with AssuranceLab and Drata to ensure they achieved SOC 2 compliance before their tight deadline, enabling them to retain their largest client. https://lnkd.in/gpaBia7h

About us
The inception of Eden Data was quite simple: our founder, Taylor Hersom, wanted to create a better way to help organizations build a robust cybersecurity program in order to protect the data they collect. 'Better than what?' you may ask. Each of Eden Data's professionals came from various consulting enterprises and gained direct exposure to how these firms operated as they served their clients. The problem is that whether you hire the prestigious Big 4 or a boutique consulting firm down the road, they all operate in the exact same way: their revenue models are built completely around hourly rates, meaning that they are systematically incentivized to work a large amount of hours at a high rate. What's more, there isn't a lot of room for innovation and automation when these aspects inherently decrease the amount of hours a project takes. As such, Eden Data was built on disruption: disruption of the century old professional services model. We chose instead to partner with various organizations who have completely dominated in their respective industries by creating forward-thinking SaaS tools related to cybersecurity and data protection. We then worked together to enhance the value we bring to organizations by coupling our services and creating holistic solutions that address the classic adage 'People, Processes, Technology'. Eden Data's long-term vision is to create a future where companies can bring fantastic ideas to fruition using the internet while effortlessly maintaining appropriate data security and privacy. Eden Data focuses on the next generation of businesses that are ready to build security and privacy into their DNA, from their culture to their technologies to their entire operating processes. We are working to make information security (and inherently compliance) a core pillar of every organization we have the pleasure of working with.

Founder & CEO, Eden Data | Future of Cybersecurity | Leadership and Workplace Innovator | Next Gen Startup Supporter
We’ve been hearing it directly from founders: security incidents aren’t driving SOC 2. Demanding enterprise buyers are! ”Seems pretty biased you security nerd”: I totally agree with you on that comment, my LinkedIn friend, but this time we took it straight from the customer’s mouth: we surveyed our hundreds of customers and got you the deets straight from the source! While we heard all sorts of answers, from “because I had nightmares about lack of security” to “because I wanted to digitally crush my competitor”, but the overwhelming majority was “Because an enterprise customer told me to jump (into SOC 2) and I said “How High?”. Enterprise deals get stuck in infosec review without compliance certifications, consuming valuable time, slowing down sales cycles, and stretching resources thin. 🚨 Enterprise buyers are also just walking away, even late in the sales cycle, simply because they can go keep knocking on vendor doors till they find the security they are looking for! Enterprise clients—especially Fortune 500 buyers—are upping their compliance expectations, putting vendors through rigorous security reviews and audits. 🛡️📋 They don’t even care what your service is, as it’s easier for them to just make blanket statements/demands than to try to understand how sensitive your service is to their business! Our survey on the ROI of Compliance validates this. See how our results underscore why SOC 2 is becoming a requirement for high-growth startups: https://lnkd.in/gSdc_z3v
Security incidents aren’t driving SOC 2 adoptions amongst startups. But Fortune 500 buyers are.

Scrap the notion that security incidents are driving compliance, especially for startups. In our ROI of Compliance survey report, none of the respondents reported experiencing a damaging security incident and less than half said risk management was even a factor in their decision to get compliant. https://lnkd.in/gSCjas7W
