Rescuing a Swiss CmaaS Scale-Up from “Compliance Debt”

A Leading Swiss Compliance-as-a-Service (CmaaS) Provider.

Restore investor confidence and achieve ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR readiness after a failed manual implementation.

The Challenge: The “Dashboard Trap”

Despite investing a year into a popular compliance automation platform, the client remained stagnant. Their progress had stalled at 60%, but the underlying reality was far more critical:

  • Expertise Gap: Without internal legal or privacy specialists, the team struggled to interpret complex controls, leading to “fudged” evidence and blank files uploaded by contractors.
  • Strategic Misalignment: The firm attempted to tackle ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR simultaneously without a foundational roadmap, missing critical overlaps that would have accelerated progress.
  • The Audit Wall: Their existing automation tool lacked an ecosystem of Swiss-certified auditors. Local Swiss auditors refused to work within the platform’s proprietary workspace, demanding manual documentation that negated the benefits of automation.
  • Investor Pressure: With a funding round underway, investors were demanding proof of appropriate compliance. The “wasted” subscription year was impairing customer acquisition and threatening the round.

The Solution: The 360vue “Meta-Platform” Rescue

ComplianCERT stepped in to reorganize the program using the 360vue Agentic AI and deep Swiss regulatory expertise:

  1. Strategic Re-Alignment: We performed a comprehensive gap analysis, identifying that the client also required ISO 9001 and specific Pharmaceutical Logistics certifications for their future roadmap.
  2. Meta-Platform Migration: We transitioned the client to a more appropriate compliance automation engine, bundled within the 360vue meta-platform. This lowered subscription costs and enabled deeper automation.
  3. Autonomous Asset Recovery: Using 360vue’s automation, we audited and “cleaned” their existing policies and controls, transitioning only assured, valid assets into the new environment.
  4. Swiss Auditor Ecosystem: We introduced the client to Swiss Approval, a partner in our 360vue ecosystem. Because they were pre-trained on the platform, they quoted an audit cost 75% lower than previous estimates.

The Results: From “Fudged” to “Foundation”

  • Investor Confidence: Delivered a transparent, e2e compliance plan that convinced current and future investors the program was under control.
  • 75% Cost Reduction: Leveraged the 360vue ecosystem to slash external certification audit costs while ensuring high-quality Swiss certification.
  • Total Transparency: Automated the entire cyber insurance application through Zurich Insurance, providing the client with a complete, “Always-Audit-Ready” workspace.
