Challenge

Incentiv was on a tight timeline to meet the highest standards of security, privacy, and compliance before its product launch. Achieving SOC 2 Type I and Type II certifications and ensuring GDPR compliance were paramount to commence enterprise selling and to establish trust with potential clients. The task was daunting, requiring specialized expertise in endpoint management, account provisioning, endpoint security, application security, infrastructure, cloud security, and privacy.

"Throughout my career as a tech investor at a global investment firm, I've worked with a number of world-class consulting firms and service providers. I would put the service quality and attention to detail of BD Emerson up against any of them -- and at a fraction of the cost. In the world of startups, you're inundated with "expert" providers claiming they can help but knowing who you can trust is often elusive. BD Emerson helped us win our first enterprise clients due to the speed and subject matter expertise in security, privacy, IT, and compliance. I would highly recommend them for startups and look forward to an expanding our partnership"
