Crelate, a 50-person Talent Management SaaS company, empowers businesses to attract, engage, and hire top talent through its applicant tracking and recruitment CRM platform. As their customer base grew and they began targeting larger enterprise clients, security assurance became a critical differentiator. Prospective customers increasingly demanded proof of a robust security program, but as a small, fast-moving team, Crelate needed a way to demonstrate strong security practices without overwhelming staff or slowing innovation. To stay competitive and meet client expectations, they set their sights on ISO 27001 certification as the gold standard for information security.

The Solution

Semper Sec proposed a six-month plan: a Gap Assessment, ISO 27001 program build, and optional SOC 2 implementation later. We partnered closely with Crelate, guiding them through controls creation, internal audits, and policy development, while providing ongoing support to ensure a smooth, efficient rollout.

Results

With Semper Sec’s expertise, Crelate achieved ISO 27001 certification in just six months—far faster than competitors predicted. The streamlined process strengthened their security program, reduced the need for additional staff, and positioned Crelate to win larger clients. Jamey praised Semper Sec as a knowledgeable partner whose guidance enabled the business and empowered the team without extra resources.
