Allocadia Reduced Due Diligence by 90%
Using StandardFusion's flexible GRC software Allocadia transformed its information security program by building a scalable, evidence-based security posture tailored to their unique needs.
The Challenge
Allocadia's existing information security program was built using a combination of spreadsheets, email, ticketing systems, and third-party software but was rapidly becoming unmanageable. The program relied on manual evidence collection and processing, which lacked visibility over time, making it increasingly difficult to understand their security posture and defend their security stories. Allocadia's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Sabino Marquez, envisioned building a trustworthy, assurable, and evidence-based program that you can use to tell the account, the market, or the Supply Chain Actor what your security story is and why they should trust you. "StandardFusion was the only tool that allowed us to build our model, our defense model, our threat model, our data model, our value model in the tool, as opposed to the tool telling me what I had to do. I don't want to go bowling with bumpers, and every other tool in the market gave me bumpers" - Sabino Marquez, CISO, Allocadia
"I feel I'm talking to people that understand what I'm talking about, as opposed to enterprise sales executives, who may know what you're talking about, but they're not technical enough to answer the question. At StandardFusion, you guys are working in one symbiotic team."

The Solution
After evaluating numerous solutions, Allocadia chose StandardFusion for its extensive functionality, automations, and control over data flows. StandardFusion provided a "customizable canvas" enabling Allocadia to build its unique data model without being confined to a specific framework. Enabling Allocadia to build a flexible and comprehensive data model tailored to its unique needs while seamlessly integrating with its existing tools to improve overall efficiency in its security platform. Our extensive GRC software also allowed them to combine multiple frameworks and controls and implement new ones outside of their existing frameworks. This adaptability offered a complete view of their security posture compared to their previously limited, scoped perspective. StandardFusion's unique approach empowered Allocadia to create a data model that truly reflected their requirements rather than imposing predetermined constraints. Allocadia's Information Security team gained the ability to unlock regulated markets and support their revenue strategy. "StandardFusion gives you a canvas, in which you can paint what you want as opposed to a bunch of Legos for you to snap together" - Sabino Marquez, CISO, Allocadia
