A successful security audit can mean the difference between losing and attracting enterprise-level clients — but that’s not always easy to achieve. Without the right expertise, it’s easy to miss key steps in the audit process and ultimately fail from a compliance perspective. That’s why Marana exists.
As a team, we’ve done the work of building our knowledge and expertise in the compliance space so you don’t have to. What follows is a closer look at what we do and how we do it.
At Marana, we understand that airtight data management, flawless compliance, a forward-looking approach to future threats, and a solid understanding of the enterprise-level marketplace can help any data management business survive and thrive in a security-conscious landscape. Today, data privacy and management protocols are a core focus. Customers want safety and transparency, and enterprise clients will go to any lengths to provide it. This means they expect their vendors to step up their game when it comes to beefing up security and being compliant with industry regulations…and that’s where we step in.
We’ll help your company become audit-ready, so you can gain the contracts you need for sustained and meaningful growth. Specifically, we help growing SaaS vendors with the following items:
Gap analysis
Every set of internal protocols comes with a list of strengths and a list of weaknesses. Do you know where your weaknesses lie? We review the gaps in your storage, transfer, and access protocols and the internal infrastructures you rely on to keep customer data safe. When we spot an entry point for potential hackers or a missing component in your compliance checklist, we’ll further analyze the gap and develop solutions.
Policy documentation
To successfully complete a SOC 2, GDPR or HIPAA audit, you’ll need clear documentation of your internal protocols and policies, including position responsibilities, reporting chains, and communication flows.
Compliance road map
The distance from your current state to a state of total compliance won’t be hard to travel, as long as you’re armed with a detailed road map and a clear set of attainable goals. Our team can take you from point A to point B with a phased approach that keeps your priorities in mind. If problems lie within your software infrastructure, your reporting procedures, or your crisis response protocols, we’ll help you identify what needs to be done, and then do it.
Education for senior staff
Senior staff members need to clearly understand where the company is heading, so they can help you get there. Training junior level data managers and monitoring risk are easier and more effective with shared goals and communication networks in place. Our consultation process can help you identify and shore up weaknesses in your system, and help you build a culture of compliance within your organization.
