Compliance Snapshot
When enterprise deals started demanding formal security assurance, Extravis moved fast. By teaming up with Sahl, they achieved ISO 27001, ISO 27701, SOC 2 Type I, and GDPR alignment in just a couple of weeks, turning operational maturity into audit-ready trust.
The result? A fast lane into regulated markets, without the friction, delays, or resource drag common in compliance journeys.

The Roadblock
Despite a strong internal security posture, Extravis lacked formal validation. Their enterprise prospects soon required:
- ISO 27001 & 27701 : to demonstrate structured information and privacy controls
- SOC 2 Type I : mandatory for U.S. procurement teams
- GDPR alignment : to process and protect EU customer data
Without these, key contracts were frozen. Yet traditional compliance programs often take 3–6 months.
The Sahl Advantage: Real Experts, Real Fast
From day one, Sahl owned the process. Their hands-on, cross-framework delivery model gave Extravis what most compliance vendors can’t: execution that moves at the speed of scale.
Key actions included:
- Unified multi-framework gap analysis
- Drafting and delivering 40+ bespoke policies and controls
- Simulated internal audits across ISO and SOC 2
- GDPR asset mapping, lawful basis review, ROPA, and DPIAs
- Full coordination with external auditors for ISO & SOC 2
All of it was delivered in just a couple of weeks, with zero operational drag.
