Enterprise services firm with ISO 27001 and vendor questionnaires
Services · 800-2000
700 / mo
A 1500-person services firm runs 700 reviews or incidents a month. Vendor questionnaires backlog for weeks. Audit evidence is a scramble every cycle.
Security Operations Analyst activates all four capabilities. Access reviews ship on cadence; vendor questionnaires turn around in days; phish gets triaged in minutes; compliance evidence stays audit-ready.
Expected outcomes: cycle-time reduction 50-70% on coordination surface, vendor-review turnaround 60-80% faster, compliance evidence audit-ready at any moment.

Small fintech preparing for first SOC 2 audit
SaaS · 40-80
120 / mo
A 60-person fintech runs 120 security reviews and incidents a month. SOC 2 evidence is assembled by hand every quarter. Access reviews run late and leave stale accounts between cycles.
Security Operations Analyst activates access review and compliance monitoring. Reviews land on cadence with stale-access removal; evidence bundles stay audit-ready continuously; the analyst spends time on risk calls, not spreadsheets.
Expected outcomes at this volume: access-review completion above 95%, compliance evidence audit-ready at any moment, analyst hours reclaimed weekly.

Security Operations Analyst activates vendor-security review, phishing triage and compliance monitoring. Questionnaires turn around in days; phish triages in minutes; compliance evidence holds audit-ready.
Expected outcomes: vendor-review turnaround 60-80% faster, phishing-triage lead time under 15 minutes, compliance evidence continuously ready.
