As a CIO, I’ve found that the "compliance tax" on a scaling organization usually comes in the form of fragmented communication and manual evidence gathering that drags on for months. Our experience with A-LIGN was the exact opposite. If you are looking for an audit partner that respects your time and understands the modern tech stack, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Working with A-ling is real pleasure, they have great audit team. Value for money is outstanding and communication is flawless.

Drata offered a great onboarding process with dedicated drata team members providing check-ins and keeping us on track in getting up and running.

Working with A-Lign through AuditHub for this year's audits saved the team hours in front of the auditors. This was our 4th year maintaining compliance -- and our smoothest audit yet!

After a not-so-seamless first year doing SOC2 type 2, we were promised that the audit, review and evidence gathering process would be much smoother the second year. To our surprise, we found that our auditor was unfamiliar with the Drata platform. The auditor did not know how to navigate the platform and piled roughly 40 hours worth of evidence collection work on my team. Because we were on a tight timeline, we had to do the work. We do not plan on using A-LIGN again after this experience.

Both Drata and A-Lign made the entire process easy and painless. Would recommend them to all companies.
