SOC 2 + GDPR compliance in 90 days for a healthtech client
We took a fast-moving healthtech client from zero compliance infrastructure to SOC 2 Type II and GDPR readiness in 90 days, without slowing down their shipping cadence.
These case studies are representative examples. Client names, figures, and specific details may have been modified or anonymized until signed releases are available.
The challenge
The client was closing enterprise health-system deals that required SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance. Their codebase had grown fast with minimal security review. They had 90 days before their largest prospect's compliance deadline, and they couldn't afford to freeze feature development.
Our approach
Secure ran a full security assessment and gap analysis in week one. We prioritized fixes by risk severity and implemented controls using Vanta for continuous monitoring. Build patched infrastructure and application-level vulnerabilities in parallel sprints. Advisory structured the compliance narrative and vendor questionnaire responses for the sales team. The entire process ran alongside their normal 2-week sprint cadence, no feature freeze required.
The results
The client passed their SOC 2 Type II audit on the first attempt, achieved GDPR readiness, and closed the enterprise deal within 30 days of compliance. The compliance infrastructure now runs on autopilot with Vanta.
Tech stack
“We were told SOC 2 would take 6-12 months and require a feature freeze. DGTL did it in 87 days while we kept shipping. That deal alone was worth 10x the engagement.”
