How Stylo gained a competitive edge by streamlining compliance efforts

Hear Stylo’s Co-Founder and CTO, Josh Horowitz explain why he’d still pay for Thoropass, even if his previous audits were offered to him for free.

CHALLENGE

Manual processes prompt a change

As the co-founder and CTO of Stylo and having led cybersecurity research teams in the past, Josh Horowitz understands the critical importance of cybersecurity in safeguarding customer data. However, prior to Thoropass, their compliance process relied heavily on exchanging various spreadsheets and documents, leading to challenges in keeping track of the most up-to-date information. The absence of a centralized, single source of truth made the audit experience stressful and time-consuming.

SOLUTION

Finding efficiencies in one, comprehensive platform

Josh knew a perfect compliance partner would be one that thoroughly audits and understands all the little things—as it’s in the small details when data breaches tend to happen. That partner? Thoropass. With Thoropass, Stylo now had their much-needed single source of truth, eliminating the hassle and headache of dealing with multiple documents and ensuring that every action item was clearly visible and everyone knew their next step in the process.

RESULTS

A user-friendly approach to compliance

Josh’s favorite aspect of Thoropass’s audit experience is that the platform provides all action items as a giant to-do list. By simplifying what can be an overwhelming and complicated process, Josh and the Stylo team were able to complete tasks quickly and efficiently, effectively shrinking their ‘to-do list’ in a fraction of the time it would have taken without Thoropass’s smart technology. The platform’s user-friendly interface allowed the Stylo team to have a clear, up-to-date overview of their progress at all times.

According to Josh, what stood out the most was the Thoropass team’s exceptional dedication to their success and extensive knowledge.
