Challenge

Dealing with sensitive customer data on a regular basis, Hybr1d found that information security became an increasingly significant priority. Data security emerged as a deciding factor in winning deals as the company expanded into new geographies and customer segments. To improve its security posture, address detailed security questionnaires, and obtain an ISO 27001 compliance certification, Hybr1d needed a comprehensive solution that could ensure its information security measures were exhaustive and up-to-date.

Solution

Hybr1d chose Cyber Sierra after evaluating different cybersecurity platforms. In Cyber Sierra, they found a unified and automated platform that could help it scan and manage its vulnerabilities, convincingly answer the detailed security questions sent by its customers, get started on its ISO 27001 compliance process, run security training programs for its employees, and much more.

"As a growing company, we were keen to integrate the right security building blocks into our platform and culture. At the same time, we didn’t want our focus on information security to eat into our product roadmap and milestones or to cost us heavily", said Aditya Anand, CTO at Hybr1d.

Cyber Sierra’s scalable security solution allowed Hybr1d to compound its operations over time without the challenge of conflicting resources that are typical for a growing company. As a result, Hybr1d could streamline its security activities without hampering its existing product roadmap.

Outcome

Hybr1d implemented continuous control monitoring using Cyber Sierra’s platform that allowed real-time visibility into its security posture. This allowed Hybr1d to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities, improve incident response time, and maintain compliance posture.

Hybr1d was able to save a significant amount on its cybersecurity budget by utilizing Cyber Sierra's platform, which provided comprehensive coverage for the attack surface of its cyber assets.

"Thanks to Cyber Sierra, we now have an improved tech infrastructure and processes that are benchmarked against our security controls and safeguards. We are able to meet enterprise level security controls checklists with ease and confidence now", added Aditya.

The unified approach to security and compliance on Cyber Sierra’s platform not only unblocked sales deals for Hybr1d but also helped the company identify enhancements in operational efficiency, benchmark security controls, improve its tech infrastructure, and overall establish a robust security posture.

Additionally, Hybr1d is developing more focus on GDPR compliance. By utilizing Cyber Sierra's comprehensive compliance management platform, the Hybr1d team has been able to build on the progress they've made towards ISO 27001 compliance and push forward with GDPR compliance.

"Our security posture is now constantly monitored and enhanced from a single platform, giving us full visibility and control over our security controls. Cyber Sierra has been instrumental in breaking down the barriers that were previously impeding our security and privacy efforts", ended Aditya.

With Cyber Sierra, Hybr1d now has real-time visibility into its security posture, expert counsel on ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance, organized and automated security training for employees, and a single window to monitor and maintain it all.
