Larky, a fintech innovator enabling community financial institutions to engage account holders through mobile push notifications, recognized the need for SOC 2 compliance to meet the security expectations of their partners and clients. While Larky did not directly handle sensitive financial data, their integrations within trusted banking apps required them to demonstrate a firm commitment to data security and privacy.

Faced with the challenges of compliance, including time-intensive evidence collection, policy development, and effective collaboration with auditors, Larky sought a solution that would not only simplify the process but also allow their team to remain focused on delivering value to customers. The stakes were high: achieving SOC 2 certification would strengthen partner relationships, unlock new business opportunities, and position Larky as a leader in their field. This is where Trustero stepped in.

To address these challenges, Larky partnered with Trustero, leveraging its AI-powered compliance platform to streamline evidence collection, automate manual tasks, and simplify auditor communication. Trustero’s platform provided Larky with templates for compliance policies, automated evidence gathering for key systems, and a centralized portal for managing and tracking compliance progress.

Results:

Time Savings: Trustero automated significant portions of the evidence collection process, freeing Larky’s engineers to focus on core development tasks.

Improved Communication: A shared Slack channel facilitated seamless collaboration between Larky, Trustero, and their auditor, eliminating the miscommunication issues common in email-based workflows.

SOC 2 Certification: Larky successfully completed its SOC 2 audit, strengthening relationships with existing partners and opening the door to new business opportunities.
