Introduction
Getting certified is never just about ticking boxes. For growing tech companies, compliance is about building trust and proving they can handle data responsibly. That’s exactly why The QA Company decided to pursue ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance, and prepare for ISO 42001 at the same time.
The QA Company delivers a centralized AI assistant platform. Their clients expect strong security and reliable performance. Because of this, meeting regulatory requirements became a top priority. However, they needed to earn certification fast. They also had to keep product development moving. Innovation could not slow down. With these pressures in place, the team searched for a clear and efficient path to compliance.
That’s when The QA Company partnered with Axipro for advisory support, Drata for automation, and Sensiba (formerly AssuranceLab) as the independent audit partner. Together, they set out on a journey to achieve compliance at speed while strengthening governance for the future.
About The QA Company
The QA Company’s platform, QAnswer, enables organizations to quickly create AI assistants that connect to multiple data sources, documents, websites, and enterprise applications to improve access to information and automate interactions. With a compact and highly skilled team, they bring innovative AI capabilities to businesses across Europe and the US.
As they expanded, so did the responsibility to demonstrate that their platform operated securely, transparently, and in line with industry expectations. This made ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance a strategic priority; not simply to meet requirements, but to strengthen customer confidence and support growth into new markets.
Challenge: Scaling & Upgrading Compliance
Like many fast-growing tech firms, The QA Company faced a familiar but tough situation. Clients and prospects were asking for certifications, and they needed them fast.
Here were the main hurdles they faced:
- Tight timelines: They had only 6–8 weeks to prepare for ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance, with ISO 42001 audits scheduled soon after.
- Integration gaps: Their cloud provider, Scaleway, didn’t plug directly into Drata, so evidence collection wasn’t straightforward.
- Security risks: A past GitLab incident and the absence of penetration testing meant gaps in security practices.
- HR processes: NDAs were in place, but background checks and structured onboarding needed more attention.
Certification was the gateway to customer trust, but the pressure to move fast, and get it right, was real.
Solution: Axipro’s Guided Transition
The QA Company knew that rushing into compliance without structure could backfire. They needed guidance, a clear roadmap, and the right partners. That’s where Axipro came in.
As their advisory partner, Axipro helped them align their internal team with the requirements for ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance. Instead of reinventing the wheel, they leaned on proven frameworks and best practices.
With Drata powering automation, evidence tracking became far less painful. And with Sensiba as the independent auditor, they had the right checks in place to validate their work.
In the words of Pratibha Sharma, Marketing & Communication Officer, The QA Company:
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. Highly recommend them to any growing tech company looking to get compliant without losing momentum.
Results: Smooth Audit, Stronger Governance
In less than 3 months, The QA Company transformed how they managed security and compliance. The outcomes spoke for themselves:
- Achieved ISO 27001 certification, joining the ranks of early adopters of AI governance standards.
- Completed GDPR compliance, proving that customer and employee data is safe.
- Prepared for ISO 42001 audits, with readiness confirmed and next steps lined up.
- Strengthened internal practices, from HR to security incident management.

For The QA Company, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance were not just certificates to hang on the wall. They were proof that trust and governance sit at the heart of their business model.
