At Devramp, information security isn’t an afterthought or a checkbox It’s built into every aspect of how we design, implement, and operate our software, and how we run our company day-to-day. Protecting customer data is at the heart of everything we do.

Security touches every layer of operations: from how we handle email and devices, to how we respond to support requests, to the way we write and deploy code. As a small team with limited resources, we’ve had to be smart and resourceful in how we work. But one thing we never compromise on is security.

What SOC2 Type 2 Means

The SOC2 framework was created to help companies demonstrate their commitment to security and trust. A Type 1 report shows that the right controls are in place. A Type 2 report goes further: it proves that those controls have been operating effectively over time.

For us, the journey to Type 2 wasn’t about reinventing how we work, but about formalizing it: putting structure, documentation, and accountability around practices we already valued. Roughly 80% of the work was documenting and formalizing what we already did, and 20% was adding new controls. One example: the process pushed us to formally review vendor reports to ensure we’d be comfortable with what they contained. That’s the kind of rigor SOC2 forces, and we’re better for it.

Our Partners

This milestone was possible thanks to the expertise of three partners:

• AssuranceLab: who guided us through both our Type 1 and Type 2 audits with clarity, responsiveness, and a well-run process.
• Pulse Security: a security company who helped us with threat modeling and penetration testing. We learned a lot working with them.
• Safe Advisory: who advised us on security governance and helped us maintain day-to-day compliance.

We’re grateful for their guidance and would recommend them without hesitation.

Our Approach to Security

Devramp works with large and complex customer codebases. That means security isn’t optional, it’s fundamental. Our approach is to treat security as a core requirement in every piece of code, automation, and process we create.

Some of that is table stakes: defensive programming techniques, staying current with security bulletins, patching vulnerabilities quickly. But we go further in two key ways:

• Assume compromise: we operate with the mindset that breaches are always possible, so our systems are designed to minimize damage if the worst happens.
• Keep it simple: simplicity is one of our best tools against security issues. The smaller and leaner the system, the less there is to attack.

This philosophy keeps our attack surface low and our resilience high.

What’s Next

Achieving SOC2 Type 2 is an important milestone, but it’s not the finish line. Security is a continuous process, and we’ll keep strengthening our practices as we grow.
