Choice Digital’s Fractional CISO

The Challenge

As a fintech company handling B2C payments and working with Fortune 500 enterprises, Choice Digital needed to prove they could protect sensitive customer data. Early on, they completed their first SOC 2 audit, but the experience was slow, painful, and resource-intensive.

“We made an attempt at SOC 2, which we were able to get. But it was extremely painful and took a lot of time.”

                                                                                                                                                                         — Michael Konrath, Co-Founder & CPO, Choice Digital

That experience prompted a key decision: bring in a trusted partner to support and mature their security program without sacrificing focus on product and growth.

The Solution

Gamma Force joined as Choice Digital’s Fractional CISO, helping the company across compliance, technical security, and partner coordination.

Client’s experience share

“Being able to bring in an organization like Gamma Force where you’ve got a lot of experience, you’ve got a lot of different domains of expertise that you can bring in is totally the right fit for us. So I’d say, between like being able to have, for frankly, the cost of a full-time employee, maybe even a little less, we’re able to basically get super-powered CISO activity out of that whole group. It can help us kind of for what we need. So overall, when it comes to the value, I think it’s fantastic in that we can get a lot. And if we were to hire a full-time CISO, they can only do one thing, right? Or they’ve only got their skill set. 

With you guys, we get a whole broad set of skill sets, so it’s a much better investment to me.”
