Case studies-Plaud
One managed program covering the full certification sequence, SOC 2 through GDPR.
AI voice recorder hardware and software
SOC 2 · ISO 27001/27701 · HIPAA · GDPR
The challenge
Plaud ships a combination of hardware, apps, and cloud services to US enterprise buyers and European markets at once. Security reviews therefore span device, cloud, and data compliance: US customers ask for SOC 2 by name, healthcare deals require HIPAA, and Europe means GDPR and ISO 27001. Buying each framework separately would have meant duplicated work and a multiplied budget.
What Kaamel did
- Build one unified control set first, then map it to each framework, so overlap is built only once
- Start with SOC 2, then extend to ISO 27001/27701, HIPAA, and GDPR as the sales pipeline demanded
- Continuous evidence collection through Vanta and Drata, reused across certifications
- Kaamel fronts the auditors every audit season, so the team stays on product
The results
SOC 2 → GDPR
the full sequence under one managed program

faster than procuring each framework separately
