Learn how we helped Libra achieve their ISO 27001, enabling them to boost their enterprise credibility and sales efficiency.

The client

Libra is an innovative legal tech startup focused on simplifying complex legal processes through AI. They use large language models to automate tasks such as document analysis and legal text generation, helping law firms and legal departments work more efficiently. Libra’s AI tools integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, enhancing productivity without requiring significant changes to how legal professionals operate.

“Our decision to pursue ISO 27001 certification was driven by enterprise customers who made it clear that without it, they wouldn’t even consider engaging with us. Essentially, we couldn’t make any progress with these clients without the certification.”

The challenge

Libra’s goal before engaging with Cognisys was the need to secure their ISO 27001 certification to gain credibility with enterprise customers. Without this certification, Libra found it difficult to even initiate conversations with large clients, as many required it as a baseline for doing business. Recognising the importance of this certification for their growth and the ability to engage with high-profile companies, Libra set a clear goal: to achieve ISO 27001 certification quickly and efficiently. This urgency led them to partner with Cognisys, whose expertise and streamlined processes assured them that they could help them achieve their certification swiftly.

The solution

Cognisys played a pivotal role in helping Libra achieve their ISO 27001 certification quickly and effectively. Understanding the urgency, Cognisys maintained excellent communication and flexibility, ensuring the process was smooth and aligned with Libra’s tight schedule. Cognisys’ Zero2Hero service provided Libra with expert guidance through risk reviews, tabletop exercises, and policy development, filling in the gaps needed to meet ISO 27001 requirements.

Vanta‘s continuous monitoring solution was integral, enabling Libra to keep track of compliance controls in real-time. This proactive approach ensured that any deviations were immediately flagged, helping Libra maintain ongoing compliance post-certification. Throughout the process, Cognisys was readily available to answer questions and provide support, which kept the project on track without delays.

The internal audit, conducted by Cognisys, was thorough and seamless, and the external audit by Insight Assurance further validated Libra’s efforts. Post-certification, Libra has seen a significant improvement in the efficiency of their sales process, with ISO 27001 serving as a key differentiator in discussions with enterprise clients. The entire certification process, including the external audit, was completed within just one month.
