Our Compliance & GRC Platform 

Background

Geakminds, a data-driven AI and analytics company, faced a critical business requirement: to achieve compliance with multiple security and privacy frameworks within an aggressive timeline. The certifications included ISO 27001 (Information Security), SOC 2 (Trust Services Criteria), ISO 27701 (Privacy Information Management), and ISO 42001 (Artificial Intelligence Management).  

The Challenge 

The urgency was tied to a strategic business opportunity requiring rapid certification. Most organizations struggle with even one of these frameworks due to:  

  • Complex documentation  

  • Lack of clarity on controls  

  • Manual processes and tracking  

  • Fragmented implementation across teams  

Our Approach 

We partnered with Geakminds to implement a streamlined, platform-led approach:  

Unified Platform

All frameworks were managed through our centralized GRC platform, which offered real-time visibility, status tracking, and collaboration.

Clear Visibility on Requirements

The platform broke down each standard into actionable tasks, mapped against responsibilities and control owners. 

Smart Documentation

Pre-built templates, policy libraries, and guided evidence capture eliminated the typical delays in document preparation. 

Targeted Guidance

Narrow and contextualized guidance was provided at every step to avoid ambiguity and reduce back-and-forth. 

Exemption Management

The client and auditors aligned early on justifiable exemptions, reducing friction during the audit phase. 

Audit Readiness Monitoring

The platform flagged potential audit gaps early, enabling timely remediation. 

Client Commitment  

What set Geakminds apart was their unwavering commitment:  

They didn’t treat the audit as a checklist exercise

Process owners ensured timely implementation and execution of all required controls.
