CONTEXT​

Transparency for speedy compliance

Brikl is a leading e-commerce platform for micro-stores globally. It helps streamline store operations so businesses can concentrate on sales. Its emphasis on a unified source of truth, is shared by Scrut as well. So when Maarten wanted to renew Brikl’s SOC 2 report, he knew what to look for.

Maarten Boone, CEO and Founder, Brikl

“Having invested a lot of time in compliance previously, we knew we were going to need more than a platform to help us renew our attestation in 2 months or less – and that’s where Scrut delivered.”

CHALLENGES​​​

Renewal amidst org changes

A low learning curve was the need of the hour, considering the following 3 factors.

Tight Deadlines
Facing an imminent SOC 2 renewal, Maarten sought a fast GRC platform that could utilize existing documentation.

New Team Onboarding
Brikl was restructuring its tech team. This already involved multiple trainings, and Maarten did not want to add a complex GRC training to that list.

Fragmented Practices
There were blockers in tracking, reviewing, and publishing the right artifacts while linking them with relevant controls.

“What stands out is the bird's eye-view of dashboards in terms of policy statuses, evidence, and critical issues. I don’t have to go look around; it's all there in front of me. That’s what really matters.”

SOLUTION​​

Consolidated GRC hub

Scrut provided an overview of all artifacts, risks, critical issues, and the resulting mitigation tasks to offset them.

Visibility through intuitive dashboards ensured better tracking and decision-making on vendor and cloud-related activities.

Adaptability was ensured with extensive integrations pulling in relevant data from Brikl’s tech stack for evidence collection.

Accessibility got enhanced with a consolidated repository of real-time artifacts along with version history.
