Growth companies don’t always love compliance.  As critical as it is, it still can feel like a hindrance when you’re busy meeting market demands and staying ahead of the competition.

SALIX Data wanted to meet customer needs for compliance verification while continuing to grow and change rapidly.  And that required new technology, new reporting periods, new business units, and even new continents.

The challenge

SALIX Data’s team didn’t want to “slow down” sales and service delivery to manage compliance.  “We needed a SOC provider that could keep up with us while we grew,” says SALIX Data President Jonathan Adams.  “That growth included technology and services as well as expansions overseas.  They also needed to be nimble enough to serve our team, given our current speed and capabilities.  We couldn’t handle a firm that threw the book at us and said, ‘call us when you’re ready.’”

The strategy

After considering firms with offices worldwide, SALIX decided a regional firm clever enough to keep pace might work.  After learning that Barnes Dennig already had SOC clients with operations on five continents and specialized in helping organizations with their “first-time” readiness and type 1 work, SALIX decided to try Barnes Dennig.

The results

Four years later, they’re glad they did.   “Barnes Dennig has kept up every step of the way.  They met our needs for our Nairobi operations while helping us as the SOC standards evolved and our systems grew.  We don’t have a separate compliance department, so we needed auditors who could work with our IT leaders to make it happen,” says Adams.
