How Boreas Monitoring turned compliance challenges into SOC 2 success

CHALLENGE

Navigating compliance complexity

Boreas Monitoring recognized the critical need for SOC 2 compliance to ensure their software’s security, availability, and integrity. Given the sensitive nature of biological materials stored in fertility labs, compliance was essential for building trust with clinics, labs, and fertility professionals. However, the compliance process was complex and resource-intensive, requiring a structured approach to evidence gathering, security controls, and audit readiness.

Boreas initially faced timeline challenges when pursuing SOC 2 Type I, which delayed progress. They needed a reputable partner to streamline their compliance journey and manage the heavy lift of audit preparation and execution.

SOLUTION

Expert guidance and seamless integration

Boreas Monitoring turned to SciSpike, a trusted Thoropass service partner, to navigate the SOC 2 Type II compliance process. The complexities of compliance require a structured and thorough approach, so SciSpike provided end-to-end support, handling everything from preparation and evidence gathering to audit execution.

To ensure Boreas remained audit-ready, SciSpike conducted regular compliance meetings, helping the team stay aligned with security standards and regulatory expectations. Additionally, SciSpike seamlessly integrated audit, pentesting, and evidence management within the Thoropass platform, streamlining the process and reducing manual efforts.

During the audit, SciSpike’s expert guidance proved invaluable, simplifying what could have been an overwhelming experience. Their hands-on approach helped Boreas navigate the compliance journey confidently, minimizing uncertainty and ensuring a smooth path to SOC 2 Type II attestation.

RESULTS

Compliance success in record time

After overcoming timeline challenges, Boreas completed their SOC 2 Type II audit in less than three weeks. With a more structured approach, the process was faster and more efficient, allowing them to meet compliance requirements without unnecessary delays.

Achieving SOC 2 Type II attestation has reinforced customer trust and streamlined onboarding for clinics, labs, and fertility professionals. This attestation demonstrates Boreas’s commitment to data security and compliance, assuring customers they protect sensitive information with the highest standards.

To maintain compliance long-term, Boreas relies on SciSpike and Thoropass’s continuous compliance services, ensuring all requirements remain current. With alerting systems in place, they can actively monitor their compliance status and proactively address potential risks.

Looking ahead, Boreas is now well-positioned to onboard its first major customer in March, leveraging SOC 2 compliance as a competitive advantage. Their strong security and compliance foundation positions them for continued business growth and expansion in the fertility and lab monitoring industry.
