Question Base now has SOC 2 Type 1 🚀
Building "Brilliant Bot" by Slack - Unblocking employees with answers to their questions, right inside Slack.
Insane! I'm so proud of this ❗ ➡ Question Base is now a SOC 2 certified vendor 🎉 Why is this insane? 🤔 Let's start with what SOC2 is: SOC2 (equivalent to ISO 27001) is a security framework that ensures companies follow the highest industry standard for protecting user data through solid company procedures and technical setup. To become SOC2 certified vendor you have to: ⏳ Invest hundreds of hours into reworking your processes and technology up to the outlined high standard 💰 Invest tens of thousands of dollars into compliance software, expertise, and auditing To prioritize this kind of investment as a small startup is borderline...insane! But you see Question Base has been installed under the hood in: 🥇 Fortune 100 company 🏔 Fortune 500 companies 🌊 Unicorns with thousands of employees Employees who struggled with the problem of staying on top of busy #support channels in Slack had to surpass the good company IT practices to install software to solve their problems. 😬 It's a huge responsibility on our end to keep companies' data safe! And although we are a tiny company, we get to serve pretty big players. And that calls for doing things right! 💪 It was insane to pour all these resources into achieving this certification! #soc2 And I am so proud we did! 😊 Because we get to serve customers with the confidence that we deliver on our promise...AND on our responsibilities❗️❗️ Actions like this position us to be a small mighty team with a big impact! #smallteams #highimpact #aicompany #fourpeopleunicorn 🤔 🤘 👍 👏 🚀 I also want to thank our compliance coach Vic Bhatia in that post! He stood by us every step of the way, explained everything thoroughly, and helped us navigate how we as a small startup can comply with procedures for big enterprises. 🤗👏 Vic is incredible and I highly recommend any AI startups who want to serve big clients with confidence to connect with him! #soc2expert
