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 in France decided to pursue ISO 42001 and GDPR compliance, and prepare for ISO 27001 at the same time.
Their team develops a centralized AI assistant platform, which means they handle sensitive customer information daily. Clients expect security, and regulators demand it. The challenge? They needed to reach certification quickly without slowing down their product innovation.
That’s when The QA Company partnered with Axipro for advisory support, Drata for automation, and AssuranceLab (now called Sensiba) as the independent audit partner. Together, they set out on a journey to achieve compliance at speed while strengthening governance for the future.
The QA Company’s AI-powered platform, QAnswer, helps organizations build custom AI assistants over multiple data sources, including documents, websites, and apps such as SharePoint, to retrieve information while improving access to internal knowledge bases and automating customer interactions. With a close-knit team of about 20 employees, they bring advanced AI into businesses across Europe and the US.
From streamlining support requests to powering multilingual conversations, their technology connects people and data with ease. But with growth came a greater responsibility: proving their systems were safe, secure, and transparent.
This is why ISO 42001 and GDPR compliance became a business priority. The certifications weren’t just about meeting regulations. They were about giving customers peace of mind and opening doors to bigger contracts across new markets.
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:
Certification was the gateway to customer trust, but the pressure to move fast, and get it right, was real.
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 42001 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 AssuranceLab (now called 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:
