The Challenge – Getting audit-ready with confidence & without the hassle

For Deepak Balasubramnyam, CTO at Rocketlane, earning client trust as the organization moved upmarket was the driving force behind pursuing compliance. Beyond accelerating sales cycles, Rocketlane wanted its compliance posture validated by an independent, credible authority.

Deepak explains, “It feels good to know you’re doing a good job with compliance, especially when someone trusted in the industry comes in and gives you the green flag.”

Rocketlane initially chose Drata to guide their SOC 2 journey. But a year in, challenges, particularly with support, prompted them to reconsider.

Deepak elaborates, “Working across time zones was a major problem—Drata’s team and auditors worked out of the US, and our team was in the IST zone. Sometimes, we had to wake up at 1 a.m. to get answers and clarity on certain controls and evidence, which isn’t the ideal customer experience you’d want.”

With some knowledge of the ins and outs of compliance audits under their belt, Rocketlane recalibrated their priorities, this time keen on working with a platform that inspired confidence, provided real-time support, and helped ensure stress-free audit readiness. 

Backed by in-house experts and the assurance of a consultative approach, Sprinto stood out and became Rocketlane’s launchpad for achieving SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA certifications.

Sometimes you just need help, whether that’s with vendor due diligence or understanding what type of evidence an auditor expects. Sprinto’s consultative approach really outshines Drata there. I just had more confidence that there wouldn’t be issues when it’s time for an audit.

The Solution – Automation powered by responsive integrations, Compliance guided by experts

Sprinto’s out-of-the-box integrations with GitHub, AWS, Google Workspace, Kandji, and more enabled Rocketlane to centralize and automate evidence collection, while detecting asset-level security risks in near real-time through continuously monitored controls. With each asset connected and centrally mapped for compliance monitoring, the team gained instant visibility into control health, check statuses, risks, and supporting evidence—all from a unified dashboard.

This visibility, along with Sprinto’s context-rich notifications alerting the team for at-risk controls, helped Rocketlane stay the course for audit readiness without the added effort of having to switch contexts or move out of the platform to fix controls. 

“Sprinto integrates with everything that we use, and collects evidence automatically. Centralizing evidence in one place is critical for us, so it’s nice that Sprinto does this out-of-the-box,” says Deepak. 

From a security standpoint, Rocketlane customized Sprinto’s built-in training programs and deployed them as targeted campaigns, using in-platform nudges to drive completion, ensuring control health and steady compliance.

Beyond automated evidence collection, Sprinto’s expert, goal-oriented support was instrumental in guiding Rocketlane to audit readiness.

“I haven’t had a single hiccup with Sprinto, which is exactly what I’m looking for. Earlier, I used to spend around 20 hours per year on an audit, and I spend a fraction of that amount of time now. Sprinto trains their customers and auditors better on their platform, so I was confident we would not have issues. The whole audit experience is just better with Sprinto,” explains Deepak.  

With Sprinto automating evidence collection, validating this evidence, and enabling real-time visibility into audit readiness, Rocketlane breezed through its SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA audits with zero exceptions.

Putting my compliance on autopilot is what I wanted to do, and Sprinto made that happen.

The Results – A confident posture and stress-free compliance management

After spending over two years on Sprinto, Deepak and the Rocketlane team have become more adept at managing compliances and more comfortable taking on new challenges as the company grows to fresh heights. 

“If anyone needs confidence going into a mid-market deal, I would tell them to use an automation framework like Sprinto. The whole process seemed daunting initially, I didn’t really know how to go about compliance and what it takes to get certified, but with Sprinto it was a breeze and I would definitely recommend others try it,” says Deepak. 

With compliance streamlined and running smoothly, Rocketlane has achieved significant time and effort savings. The compliance team saved at least 10 hours per framework—nearly 2 weeks of work annually—across the 5 critical frameworks they now manage on Sprinto.

Besides efficiency gains, improved confidence and speedy IT reviews are direct outcomes of running compliance on Sprinto. As the team became more familiar with the platform, understanding the rationale behind security questionnaires made them quicker to complete—saving up to 30 minutes per questionnaire, with time savings keeping pace with increases in volume.

Today, Deepak and the Rocketlane team have made compliance a part of their daily routine and operate with confidence knowing that the platform keeps a strict eye on controls, collects accurate evidence, and will raise timely alerts in case of a dip in compliance health, enabling stress-free and compliant operations.

We don’t stress about compliance anymore. We know we’re compliant every Monday because there’s a weekly routine of just checking the platform, ensuring everything’s running securely, and evidence is being collected. It gives us peace of mind, knowing everything is in place and working as it should.
