Challenge

Being an AI company, Scylla deals with a lot of sensitive data. The team was already undergoing SOC2 compliance when they were hit by another roadblock –  the need to comply with GDPR requirements.

Davit Tumasyan, Managing Director at Scylla, explains, “For us to successfully grow in the European market and become a truly global security company, we needed to take deliberate steps towards GDPR compliance. We realized that SOC2, coupled with GDPR compliance, would not only help us demonstrate our security posture but also help build confidence in our customers and prospects.”

“Since we were already working with Sprinto, we knew that the solution aligned perfectly with our business model and would offer us a clear path to GDPR compliance,” he adds.

Solution

Scylla integrated with Sprinto to operationalize the GDPR compliance program. Since, Scylla was almost through with their SOC2 process, implementing GDPR was a breeze!

Davit and his team did not have to spend a lot of time setting things up. Sprinto’s dashboard automatically re-used security & privacy policies implemented for SOC2 and mapped them to GDPR controls, ensuring faster set-up time and lesser effort.

With Sprinto, Scylla could unlock the many benefits of a comprehensive GDPR solution that included

  1. Integrated Risk Assessment: Identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks to PII across devices, cloud, infra, systems, vendors, and more.
  2. Ready to use privacy policies that comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Comprehensive privacy training modules to ensure a culture of privacy.
  4. Dedicated data breach reporting measures with built-in incident management to effectively tackle data breaches.

“Sprinto’s compliance experts played a mission-critical role in helping us successfully achieve GDPR compliance,” says Davit.

Scylla reached GDPR compliance readiness in just a few weeks. Using Sprinto, Scylla implemented a comprehensive GDPR program, including protecting PII by rooting out privacy anomalies, effective vulnerability & incident management, role-based access control to PII, and more.

Scylla also used Sprinto’s GDPR-focused training modules to coach its employees to handle security incidents effectively and implement strong security practices to safeguard PII at all times.

Results

Within 4 weeks of engaging Sprinto, Scylla received its GDPR compliance certification.

Sprinto simplified our entire process! Their time-bound sessions were crystal clear and largely impacted our approach to GDPR compliance, allowing us to streamline our efforts and focus on mission-critical tasks. Sprinto’s efficiency has been invaluable to our team, saving us time and resources that we can now devote to improving our product and serving our customers.

Partnering with Sprinto has already made a significant impact on Scylla’s growth and customer trust. “Getting SOC2 and GDPR compliant was a game-changer for us. It cleared up the security and privacy barriers that were holding us back and gave us the green light for explosive growth. Working with Sprinto’s efficient processes and expert guidance made all the difference,” says Davit, expressing gratitude for their partnership. Scylla is excited to continue working with Sprinto to unlock new possibilities for their future.
