Ripple Effects, a small educational software company that manages sensitive student and educator data, is contractually required by school districts and government agencies to maintain strict security controls. With no prior experience in security audits and no in-house security officer, Ripple Effects turned to Planet 9. Planet 9 supported our use of a GRC platform and its still developing integration with our auditor's tools - Gene's willingness to take on emerging technologies was key to realizing their value. As a result, Ripple Effects successfully completed its SOC 2 audit, providing proof of compliance to customers and strengthening trust with its partners.
