Laika: Your SOC 2 Go-To!
What do you like best about the product?
Laika is reliable, helpful, adaptable to your level of expertise, patient, and a great advocate for getting through the compliance you are working towards
What do you dislike about the product?
The audit process took a little longer than expected, however, much quicker than initially predicted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were not SOC 2 Compliant and needed assistance beginning and completing that process. We are now type 1 certified and looking at type 2!
Laika is the partner you want in your compliance journey.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Laika is that there's no pressure. You work at your own pace. If you're a small organization like us, you can complete a few of their tasks, work on shifting priorities, come back a month later, and pick up right where you left off. There's a status tracker that shows you the progress you've made. Everything you need to accomplish is laid out in straightforward steps. You can ask them anything, and they have subject matter experts on hand to help you.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's tough to find fault with Laika; they do so many things well. Sometimes an integration monitor will break, but they quickly fix these issues. The biggest thing I wish they had right now would be an integration with Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Their MDM monitoring is a bit light, but it's not a huge deal, and you can upload the audit trail you need on their platform. Their user controls could be more granular, but this is very nit-picky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When you sign up with Laika, you get a true partner that's an expert in the compliance industry. They have playbooks that lay out your path to whichever certification or attestation you're after. You get assigned a team of experts who quickly answer questions via their platform. They have detailed descriptions of the things you need to accomplish and even suggest some of the best ways you could achieve each control they describe in their platform. You also don't have to go searching for SOC 2 auditors since it's provided with the platform cost. They assist the auditors in gathering the information on your behalf. They only bring you in when they need you.
We couldn't have completed our SOC 2 compliance without the help of the Laika app and team
What do you like best about the product?
The integration between our dedicated representatives from Laika and the application was seamless. Getting started was easy. We met with our Laika representatives a few times and were on our way to completing playbooks to get everything set up for the audit.
At the end of the day, the attention and detail of our team of helpful Laika representatives really solidified the experience for us and added a personal touch to the very drab work of undergoing an audit. I truly looked forward to the weekly touch base with our Laika team.

What do you dislike about the product?
The transition from preparation to audit was cumbersome. There were a number of pieces of evidence requested in the audit that were not covered in the preparation playbooks. Had these been covered in the playbooks, we would have had all of them done and completed well before the audit started.
That being said, even with the surprises, it was a much simpler process than preparing for the audit on our own and we were still able to complete the audit very quickly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Laika enables our lean startup development team to not need to bring in compliance consultants or hire someone specifically for that role. With the help of Laika's app and guidance of their team we were able to prepare for and complete our SOC 2 audit easily without any prior experience.
Excellent platform with very knowledgeable team of compliance experts
What do you like best about the product?
Laika playbooks streamline the compliance process and let you keep an eye on the big picture
Access to the compliance experts

What do you dislike about the product?
Laika still does not offer full PCI compliance
Laika also needs to focus on maintaining compliance and not just becoming compliant (I know they are working on it)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Laika is streamlining our compliance process. We are facing aggressive timelines to comply with multiple frameworks, and the platform and its experts help us accelerate that process.
SOC 2, ISO 27001 -- Laika is the way to go!
What do you like best about the product?
We used Laika for our SOC 2 type 1, currently in the progress of preparing for SOC 2 type 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 certifications. I especially like Laika for the customer success team always being there for you. We've gone through SOC 2 type 1, which was a blast. We were given organised playbooks, uploaded our evidence, and answered the auditor's questions – all within the Laika platform. I like the streamlined and efficient process and recommend you check Laika out.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform sometimes feels slow to load right after you log in, but updates from Laika are regular, so hopefully, it will be quicker.
Nothing else really comes up to mind.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Laika makes audits way more organised and understandable. The flow for getting the audit done is very straightforward. Laika checks your evidence before going through an audit so that you will be prepared.
If we were getting the audit done ourselves, we would be pretty much in the dark starting from the preparation step (How do I even know which documents to prepare without a Compliance department at a company?).
