How Aikitech Achieved SOC 2 Compliance with Workstreet

Jack Rondoni founded Aikitech to simplify how organizations adopt and manage generative AI. But as Aikitech began scaling, security increasingly became a roadblock and slowed the sales cycle. 

“We moved toward SOC 2 in direct response to customer and agency requirements that any AI vendor demonstrate rigorous, audited security controls,” says Jack. “SOC 2 became essential to participating in evaluations, RFPs, and integrations with sensitive systems.”

The Solution: SOC 2 and Vanta Implementation

“Workstreet supported us by guiding our team through the SOC 2 readiness process, helping us implement the required controls in Vanta, validate evidence, and streamline our interaction with the auditor,” explains Jack.

By leveraging Workstreet's Vanta implementation expertise, Aikitech transformed a potentially overwhelming audit into a structured and straightforward process. “Workstreet’s team was responsive, knowledgeable, and made the end-to-end audit experience much smoother for a growing startup,” says Jack.

The Result: Removing Friction from the Sales Cycle

With SOC 2 compliance secured, security is no longer a blocker. “SOC 2 gives us a clear, auditable trust signal,” Jack says. “It allows customers to onboard us faster and with greater confidence, removing security-related friction from the sales cycle.”

Timing Matters

For other AI founders looking to sell to the enterprise, Jack offers one piece of advice: Time it right.

“I’d begin months earlier so SOC 2 could land before key customer opportunities,” he says. “Timing the certification matters more than you realize.”
