What Our Customers Say
Axipro were instrumental in helping us achieve ISO27001 certification. From start to finish they were proactive, hands-on, and always on top of the details. They made it crystal clear what evidence was required so all we had to do was gather and submit it. Their structured approach meant we completed everything within the six-week timeframe they set. I’d highly recommend Axipro to any organisation looking to streamline and accelerate their compliance journey.

Working with Axipro was one of the best decisions we made on our compliance journey. From day one, they were more than just advisors. Their team guided us through every step of ISO 27001, 42001 and GDPR compliance. They helped us understand exactly what was needed and supported us in producing all the right evidence without slowing down our work. They were responsive, clear and always available when we had questions or blockers. It never felt like we were doing this alone. Axipro made the entire process feel structured and manageable. With their support, we hit our goals on time and felt confident every step of the way.
Pratibha Sharma
Head of Regulatory Compliance
As a starting business pursuing our first-ever audit, we needed a partner who could guide us through the complex ISO 27001 process. Axipro exceeded every expectation. Their structured approach using Notion and Drata made compliance manageable and clear. I would never have been able to gather all the required documentation without the organized folders, detailed examples, and constructive feedback Axipro provided for every evidence article. Their systems transformed an overwhelming process into something we could actually understand and execute.

SecNumCloud is the French state’s highest security qualification for cloud services, and ANSSI only grants it after a state-supervised evaluation. Since August 2026 it’s also law for part of the French public sector. State bodies now have to keep their most sensitive data on services that meet the SecNumCloud 3.2 requirements. Everyone else, from French hospitals to US and UK SaaS vendors chasing French public contracts, now treats SecNumCloud as the working definition of a “sovereign cloud.” It’s also one of the hardest qualifications in Europe to get, because ANSSI checks who owns the provider and which foreign laws could reach it, on top of the technical controls. This guide walks through what SecNumCloud is and who needs it, what the requirements ask for, how qualification works and what it costs, and the options open to companies headquartered outside the EU. SecNumCloud at a Glance In short, SecNumCloud is a three-year qualification the French state grants to one specific cloud service. It’s built on ISO 27001 and adds sovereignty rules that no other European scheme enforces today. Attribute Detail Issued by ANSSI, France’s national cybersecurity agency Type Qualification (an ANSSI Visa de sécurité), not a certification Current version SecNumCloud 3.2,
SOC 2 has no fixed evidence retention period. The AICPA doesn’t tell service organizations to keep evidence for one year, three years, or seven. What it does require is proof that every in-scope control operated across the entire audit period. That’s stricter than it sounds, because a log that expires before your auditor samples it is a control you can no longer prove. That makes evidence retention one of the few SOC 2 topics where a configuration default can cost you a clean report. Below, we walk through what the AICPA and the Trust Services Criteria require and how long to keep each type of evidence. We also cover where HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001, and GDPR change the answer, and how to store and automate evidence so it holds up when the auditor tests it. For most SaaS teams, the short answer is this. Keep evidence for the current observation period plus at least one prior period, and keep security logs searchable for 12 months. Go longer only when a contract, a regulation, or a legal hold says you have to. What Is SOC 2 Evidence Retention vs. Data Retention: Key Distinctions Teams often lump the two into one
Vanta can tell you a control is failing within the hour. It cannot rewrite your access review process, decide which systems belong in audit scope, or explain to a CPA why a test that shows red is actually fine. That work falls to people, and choosing the right ones is the difference between a 6-week path to audit readiness and a 6-month slog that ends with your Vanta subscription renewing before you have a report. This guide ranks the 7 best Vanta deployment services for 2026, explains what each one is good at, and covers what most comparison pages skip: how long this really takes, what it costs, and how to spot a partner who’ll hand you a half-configured platform and disappear. What Is a Vanta Deployment Service? A Vanta deployment service is a hands-on engagement where a specialist firm sets up, configures, and operationalizes Vanta so your company reaches audit readiness for one or more compliance frameworks. Vanta itself is a compliance automation and trust management platform: it connects to your cloud, identity provider, code repositories, HR system, and endpoints, then runs automated tests and maps the evidence to frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Compliance software collects the evidence. A consultant builds the system that evidence is meant to prove. That’s the real difference in the ISO 27001 consultant vs software decision, and most teams only figure it out after they’ve bought one and realized they still need the other. Below, we compare what each route covers, where it breaks down, and what it costs you in time, money, and your team’s hours. Short version: software on its own works for a small group of companies. For most SaaS and tech scale-ups trying to get an enterprise deal over the line, consultant-led implementation on a compliance platform is the faster and safer path to a certificate. Quick Answer: Consultant, Software, or Both? Software-only works if you already have an in-house security lead who’s taken a company through ISO/IEC 27001 before and has the time to own the project. Consultant-only still makes sense if you run mostly on-premise or legacy systems that platforms barely integrate with. For everyone else, which means most cloud-native companies under a few hundred people, a hybrid works best: a platform to handle evidence and monitoring, and a consultant to build the management system and stand behind it in front of
Uzbekistan regulates artificial intelligence through two documents. The first is Law ZRU-1115, signed on 21 January 2026. It amends existing legislation to define AI, stops anyone from basing decisions about people’s rights on AI output alone, and fines companies that process personal data unlawfully with AI. The second is the set of Ethical Rules approved by Order No. 3787, in force since 17 June 2026, which spell out what developers, implementers, and users actually have to do. Uzbekistan hasn’t passed a standalone AI act, and its rules don’t sort systems into risk tiers or require conformity assessments. The framework is short and blunt, and it’s already enforceable. Below we walk through what each document requires, who it applies to, how it stacks up against the EU AI Act, and what a company using AI in Uzbekistan should do next. Uzbekistan AI Regulation at a Glance (TL;DR) Instrument Date What it does Who it binds Law ZRU-1115 Signed 21 January 2026 Defines AI in law, sets general rules for AI-built information resources and systems, bans legally significant decisions based only on AI, adds fines for unlawful AI processing of personal data State bodies, organizations, website owners, anyone processing personal data with
You can get a SaaS company ready for a SOC 2 audit in six weeks, but you’ll feel every one of them. Most published timelines say three to six months. For a company with no project owner, no identity provider, and nothing written down, that’s about right. A cloud-native startup that already has the basics in place and can protect some time is a different story, and it can fit the work into six hard weeks. This plan walks through that route one week at a time. Each week has an owner, an hour estimate, and a clear test for when it’s finished. The free Google Sheet version turns the plan into a tracker you can hand out to owners and update in your weekly standup. Before you start, know what you’re signing up for. At the end of week 6 you’ll be audit-ready, which isn’t the same as holding a Type II report. Nobody can get you a Type II in six weeks. This is also the do-it-yourself route, and it takes a lot of hours. We’ll show you where those hours go and what the faster option looks like. Is Six Weeks Realistic for Your Company? Six weeks
Most SaaS companies that want someone to handle SOC 2 or ISO 27001 for them end up with the same four names on the shortlist: Axipro, Cognisys, Eden Data, and Workstreet. Their published timelines to audit readiness run from under six weeks to twelve months, and pricing differs by a factor of three or more. When an enterprise deal is waiting on a report, that spread can decide whether the deal closes this quarter or next. We should say upfront that we’re Axipro, so we have a horse in this race. We built this comparison from feedback from our clients, each firm’s public website, partner directory listings, and marketplace pages. We also wrote it to be useful even if you hire someone else, and we say so where a competitor is the better fit. There’s one more piece of context. Since the Delve allegations broke in March 2026, buyers have treated the phrase “fast compliance” with suspicion, and they’re right to. So this article answers two questions: who gets you audit-ready fastest, and how you can tell real speed from a rubber stamp. Quick Verdict: Which Compliance Partner Fits Which Company Axipro is our pick for most companies, and the
Hardly any startup starts a compliance program because it wants one. It usually starts the week an enterprise buyer sends over a 200-question security questionnaire, the deal stalls, and it turns out nobody on a team of 20 engineers knows what a Statement of Applicability is. Managed cybersecurity compliance means handing that problem to an outside team. They scope the framework, put the controls in place, write the policies, run the GRC platform, and deal with the auditor until you have a report or certificate in hand. Below: what a managed service should include, how it’s different from buying software or hiring an MSSP, what it costs, how long it takes, and how to tell a good provider from a bad one. What Is Managed Cybersecurity Compliance? Managed cybersecurity compliance is an outsourced service in which a provider designs, implements, and maintains your compliance program against one or more frameworks, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or GDPR. You stay accountable for your own security, but the provider does the work that gets you audit-ready and keeps you there. You’ll also see it sold as Compliance as a Service.
