Backupta Achieves Rapid Compliance with Drata and Lyvoc
Urgent Need for Compliance to Unlock Deals
Backupta, a SaaS company providing backup and monitoring solutions for Okta, faced a critical challenge: securing SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications within an extremely short timeframe. As their Director of Customer Success Services, Henri Huart, explained, “Security is key to our business. As we back up critical identity and access management data for our customers, we needed to reassure them that our security was on point.” Without SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance automation in place, Backupta’s deals were stalled, jeopardizing growth and customer trust. The team required a fast, predictable path to compliance while maintaining focus on product security.
Automating Compliance with Drata and Lyvoc
To tackle this challenge, Backupta partnered with Lyvoc, a French firm specializing in compliance readiness. Lyvoc introduced Drata, a robust automation platform designed to streamline the compliance process. Drata’s integrations with tools like Jira and Okta allowed Backupta to automate evidence collection, reducing manual efforts and accelerating progress.
“Drata made it far simpler and more predictable to get certified.”
With Drata’s intuitive interface and human-centered support, Lyvoc and Backupta established a clear roadmap for achieving SOC 2 compliance. Instead of dedicating two full-time employees for eight months, Backupta formed a task force where one team member allocated just 10% of their time to the project. The automation capabilities of Drata drastically reduced the workload, allowing the company to focus on enhancing its product security while meeting compliance requirements.
Compliance Achieved at Record Speed
“Drata is the perfect solution for fast-growing SaaS companies. It enabled us to meet tight deadlines while building customer trust and ensuring security compliance.”
With Drata, Backupta successfully secured SOC 2 Type 1 report within four months and SOC 2 Type 2 report just two months later. The streamlined process also facilitated HIPAA compliance, as Drata highlighted their readiness for these standards. Drata automated over 100 controls, enabling the team to focus on high-value tasks, while the Trust Center reduced the time spent on responding to security assessments by 50%. “It’s a massive success,” said Henri Huart.
