How Bito Fast-Tracked SOC 2 with a Lean DevOps Team
Bito offers software engineers AI developer tools — like AI Code Reviews in GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket PRs and in IDEs — to help teams ship their best code to production, every time. With security-conscious enterprise users, Bito needed to achieve SOC 2 quickly—but with minimal disruption to a small team.
The company was not able to dedicate full-time staff to compliance. Instead, Bito used Drata to automate evidence collection across their cloud and code stack. This included GitHub for repositories and code review, Google Workspace and Slack for communication, Jira for ticketing, and Google Cloud for infrastructure. With these integrations in place, Drata continuously pulled evidence, tracked control status, and flagged gaps—without asking engineers to stop building the product.
““I was basically the only person managing the SOC 2 process, but Drata made it achievable. Everything is connected—Google, GitHub, Slack, GCP—and that made evidence collection super easy.””
Turning Compliance from a Burden into a Signal of Trust
Before Drata, Bito had no formal GRC process. As SOC 2 efforts ramped up, the DevOps lead was able to handle implementation solo using Drata’s automation. Every connected tool fed real-time data into the platform, allowing Bito to monitor control status continuously rather than tracking point-in-time status via spreadsheets.
Drata’s Trust Center was another key unlock. Rather than repeatedly responding to security questionnaires, Bito now shares a centralized portal with policies, reports, and certifications.
“The Trust Center was a huge help. We didn’t have to spend time answering 20 security questions for every customer. They could see our controls upfront.”
Building Continuous Trust at Scale
Drata helped Bito achieve SOC 2 with speed and efficiency—automating evidence collection across GitHub, GCP, Slack, and Google Workspace while freeing engineers to focus on innovation. With an 80% reduction in vendor review time and a single DevOps lead managing the entire process, Bito turned compliance into a competitive advantage. Today, the team’s Trust Center enables transparent, self-serve security sharing that builds credibility with every prospect. As Bito grows and expands into new frameworks like ISO 27001, Drata remains a core enabler of its commitment to continuous trust and security at scale.
“SOC 2 became a key part of how we proved our maturity to partners. With Drata, it wasn't just about the report—we had the systems in place to actually show continuous compliance.”
