Fantastic Integrator & Trustworthy Ally
Bright Defense (BD) is extremely knowledgeable on information security and compliance. As an early-stage start-up, the SOC2 / HIPAA landscape has been confusing and tough to navigate. BD’s strong project management and subject matter expertise is helping us make the right decisions to maximize our use of Drata. We are extremely happy and highly recommend BD to other small businesses looking for an experienced Drata partner.

They made compliance easy for me.
When tasked with becoming TX-RAMP certified, I reached out to Bright Defense to help me wade through the process. Not only did they help me reach my goal, they made it easy to do so. We had regular meetings to work through the steps, and they were prompt to reply to my questions in between. If I had to start over and could choose someone else, I would choose them again without hesitation. In fact, I did, as we are now working together for PCI and SOC2.
