“I didn’t have time to figure out ISO 27001 on my own. Scytale handled everything. They told us exactly what to do, and we were certified within 4 months.”

Challenges

Bastiaan, the founder of AstrisNexus, developed a platform designed to help businesses prepare for investment and connect with aligned advisors and investors. Since the company handles sensitive client information, such as business plans, financial statements, and other confidential documents, ensuring data security and compliance is a must for his clients. To build trust with potential clients, Bastiaan recognized the need for obtaining ISO certification.

Solution

AstrisNexus wanted to prove they could handle sensitive data securely with ISO 27001, but needed a solution that would make the process as quick as possible. They chose Scytale for how easily the platform integrated with their existing tools and automated tasks like gathering compliance evidence, tracking progress, and ensuring documentation met ISO 27001 standards. This let them focus on growing the business while still meeting industry requirements.

Highlights

Personalized assistance: Bastiaan felt that Scytale’s support was incredibly helpful and responsive. They provided guidance tailored to AstrisNexus’s specific needs, making the process less overwhelming.

Integrations: Scytale easily integrated with AstrisNexus’s existing tools, making it simple to connect everything they were already using without major disruptions.

As an AI company, automation is key for Bastiaan and his team. They appreciate how the platform automatically collects evidence, generates policies, and monitors compliance in the background, allowing them to stay compliant without manual effort.

Results

For AstrisNexus, getting ISO 27001 certified was a key step in earning client trust. The certification reassures clients that their sensitive information is being handled securely. ISO 27001 also positions AstrisNexus for future growth, especially as they look to partner with larger, more established businesses that prioritize data security.
