Introduction

Compliance is not a one-time task. It is a journey. For Fluidstack, that journey started with SOC 2 Type I compliance, with Axipro providing readiness support alongside Insight Assurance as the independent auditor. This first milestone gave them a strong foundation of trust and security.

However, as Fluidstack grew, so did the expectations of their customers. Enterprise clients needed proof that controls were not only designed well but also operating effectively over time. To meet these demands, Fluidstack partnered with Axipro again for readiness support. This time, the goal was SOC 2 Type II compliance.

With Axipro guiding both phases of preparation, and Insight Assurance conducting the audits, Fluidstack completed a full SOC 2 compliance journey,  building trust step by step and strengthening its reputation in the AI infrastructure market.

About Fluidstack

Fluidstack is a privately held company, founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, UK. The company is a leading AI infrastructure provider, delivering high-performance computing resources for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Large Language Models (LLMs).

Through the Fluidstack API, developers access top-tier GPUs and CPUs from a global network of data centers. Their services include:

  • On-demand compute power for AI, ML, and LLM projects.
  • Dedicated compute clusters for teams needing reserved capacity.
  • High-performance infrastructure for resource-heavy workloads.

Because of its fast growth and enterprise focus, Fluidstack SOC 2 compliance became critical to build customer confidence and scale responsibly.

Challenge: Scaling Compliance Needs

Fluidstack faced two major compliance challenges, each at a different stage of growth:

  • SOC 2 Type I: They needed to show that their security controls were properly designed. This was essential to earn early customer trust.
  • SOC 2 Type II: As they expanded, enterprise clients wanted stronger proof. Fluidstack had to demonstrate that these controls worked effectively over time, not just on paper.

Both phases required expert guidance. Fluidstack wanted a partner who could provide clear direction and support to navigate SOC 2 requirements while keeping pace with their rapid growth.

Solution: Axipro’s Ongoing Partnership

Axipro supported Fluidstack through both phases of their compliance journey by providing structure, resources, and clear guidance.

  • For SOC 2 Type I, Axipro supported Fluidstack’s readiness process by helping them align policies, controls, and documentation with audit expectations.

  • For SOC 2 Type II, the challenge was greater. Axipro helped Fluidstack prepare for ongoing monitoring and evidence requirements, ensuring their compliance program aligned with Secureframe’s platform.

Through this structured readiness support, Fluidstack SOC 2 compliance became a well-organized process that enabled them to focus on scaling their business.

Result: Trust at Every Stage

With Axipro’s readiness support and Insight Assurance as the independent auditor, Fluidstack successfully completed both SOC 2 Type I and Type II certifications. Each milestone built on the last, creating a stronger, more reliable security framework.

  • Type I gave them the foundation of trust with early customers.

  • Type II demonstrated that their controls operated effectively over time, meeting the strict demands of enterprise clients.

Today, Fluidstack stands out as a trusted AI infrastructure provider. Their compliance journey shows that with the right readiness partner and independent audit oversight, scaling trust and security is both achievable and sustainable.

Why Fluidstack Chose Axipro

Fluidstack selected Axipro for both Type I and Type II certifications because of our proven approach. They valued:

  • Clarity: Complex requirements were explained in simple terms.
  • Structure: Each milestone was clearly defined.
  • Communication: Our team worked closely with theirs at every step.
  • Results: Type I was completed smoothly, which made returning for Type II an easy choice.

Axipro helped make the compliance journey more structured and predictable by providing clarity, communication, and readiness support at every stage. That reliability was key to Fluidstack’s decision to extend the partnership.
