In an era where digital security is paramount, trust and transparency in data management are more critical than ever. For Syncron, achieving and maintaining the highest standards of compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes – it’s about delivering real value to our customers.

However, achieving certifications for standards like SOC or TISAX typically requires a significant investment of time, resources, and expertise. Companies must undergo rigorous audits, establish comprehensive documentation, and implement detailed processes to meet strict compliance requirements. This often involves coordinating across multiple departments, training employees, and ensuring systems and operations align with the standard’s criteria. The complexity and level of detail needed can be overwhelming.

But does it really have to be so complex? Many of the tasks involved in the certification process are repetitive, and different types of audits often overlap significantly. Couldn’t a data-driven solution make the process more efficient, especially by leveraging database technologies and AI? With this in mind, our security team set out to develop a sustainable solution.

SoC1, SoC2, and TISAX: Faster and More Reliable Audits

The result is an automated solution that has revolutionized our compliance audit process. In partnership with a leading audit provider, we successfully centralized and standardized audits that were once fragmented across different regions. The results speak for themselves: completing SoC1, SoC2, and TISAX audits in just two weeks instead of the usual three months – a remarkable achievement.

This enhanced efficiency directly benefits our customers. Faster audits mean that we can provide proof of compliance more rapidly and reliably, which is critical for businesses operating in industries where compliance is non-negotiable. By centralizing our compliance requirements into a “single control library,” we’ve minimized redundancy, ensuring that all tasks are handled effectively and consistently.

Building Trust with Industry-Leading Certifications

Achieving certifications like SoC1, SoC2, ISO 27001, and TISAX is more than a technical accomplishment; it’s a pledge to our customers that their data is handled with the utmost care. For example, TISAX is particularly relevant for our automotive industry partners, verifying that sensitive information is secure and protected at all times.

The assurance provided by these certifications is essential. In fact, approximately 68% of our customers require evidence of such security standards to trust us with their sensitive business data. Zero findings in recent SoC audits demonstrate our commitment to achieving the highest quality in compliance – an achievement that aligns us with industry giants like Amazon and Microsoft, who have set the benchmark for SaaS compliance.

Automation and AI: Leading the Way in Compliance Efficiency

Automation has been at the heart of Syncron’s transformation in compliance. Utilizing AI to streamline the collection and verification of audit evidence means we reduce manual effort and improve reliability—ultimately reducing costs for us and enhancing transparency and trust for you. Our AI-driven audit systems constantly check and cross-verify data to ensure our compliance remains robust, all while minimizing the risk of human error.

The ongoing optimization of our audit processes doesn’t stop here. Looking ahead, we are establishing a “Trust Center” in 2025—a centralized portal that will allow customers to verify compliance information in real time, providing further transparency into our processes. This will make it easier than ever to assess the reliability of our compliance posture.

The highest standards of data security

Certifications are not just about regulatory checkboxes; they are a vital proof point that Syncron is committed to the highest standards of data security and compliance. In a world where data breaches and regulatory issues are on the rise, working with a certified partner means your business can operate with greater peace of mind. Our streamlined and automated approach to compliance allows us to respond swiftly to your needs, providing you with timely assurance of data security.

We understand that trust is earned through actions. By investing in leading-edge automation technologies, partnering with renowned audit firms, we are creating a foundation that exceeds industry standards. The solution enables us more focus on creating reliable and secure SLM Services for our clients.
