Mesh ID, a next-generation identity verification platform for financial institutions, understands that trust is everything. Operating at the intersection of compliance, customer onboarding, and data privacy, Mesh ID knew ISO 27001 certification wasn’t just a badge—it was critical to its ability to scale with confidence.
To meet this milestone efficiently and effectively, Mesh ID partnered with Axipro for expert guidance, Drata for automation, and Tempo Audits for a smooth and modern audit experience.
Challenge
Navigating the Road to ISO 27001 Certification
With a tight 6-week deadline and high-stakes expectations, Mesh ID had to:
- Align its Information Security Management System (ISMS) with ISO 27001:2022
- Implement and validate security controls across its cloud-native infrastructure
- Streamline documentation, risk registers, and policies without disrupting operations
- Undergo a comprehensive readiness assessment followed by a full audit
- Deliver audit success without delays, non-conformities, or security gaps
The stakes were high—and previous experiences with other firms had made clear that Mesh ID needed a partner who could deliver clarity, pace, and results.
Key Points
- SOC reports are a compliance standard for service providers who handle sensitive customer data. E.g. healthcare, banking and SaaS companies.
- There are three types of SOC reports: SOC 1 for financial reporting, SOC 2 for design and operational effectiveness of internal controls and SOC 3 for presenting SOC 2 report information to the general public.
