Elevating Operational Control: How DoiT and Google Empowered Optessa for Industry Compliance Success

DoiT helped Optessa regain control of their Google Cloud production environment to achieve SOC2 compliance readiness.

DoiT Cloud Intelligence™
Optessa

As Optessa continues its growth and commitment to our customers, striving to be best at solving APS problems for manufacturers across every industry, an important next step in our journey is to earn industry-recognized compliance certification and strengthen our security posture. We felt all cloud services needed to reside within our organizational boundaries to satisfy our security controls, so we sought assistance from DoiT and Google Cloud to ensure a smooth transition. The DoiT team provided expert guidance and supported our third-party providers in the Infrastructure Migration Project. With their assistance, we are further on our way toward earning more industry-recognized certifications to serve a broader range of customers.

The Challenge

Optessa faced a significant challenge in preparing for SOC2 compliance, necessitating direct, audit-ready control over its Google Cloud production environment. Because it was managed by a third party, this setup posed obstacles to meeting compliance standards by limiting visibility and slowing remediation. The migration required transferring critical products and resources, such as VMs and Load Balancing, back under Optessa's organizational control with standardized IAM and centralized logging.

The Solution

DoiT and Google Cloud teams embarked on a structured, audit-conscious journey beginning with collaborative discovery sessions to assess needs and risks. DoiT conducted in-depth analysis involving meticulous inventory checks and verification of marketplace products, identifying and rectifying policy drift. The team presented a detailed migration plan, directed third parties, addressed IAM permissions concerns, and provided troubleshooting support. DoiT maintained active coordination throughout, offering clear directives and running dry-runs to de-risk the process while ensuring Quality Assurance aligned to SOC2 standards.

Results

  • Production environment and resources now securely reside under Optessa's organizational control
  • Reduced dependency on third parties with clarified accountability
  • Enhanced oversight positioning Optessa for future challenges
  • Shortened evidence-collection cycles for SOC2 audit preparation
  • Improved change velocity without sacrificing control

What they say

Promptly

DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.

Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly

Extenda Retail

DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.

Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail

Monta

When we started working with DoiT, we deployed Flexsave to save time and reduce complexity. We still use it today. But what really stands out is the expert support. Having someone to collaborate with on deep cloud cost topics, someone who really understands the nuances, is incredibly valuable.

Sentric Music

With maybe 5-10 minutes, Ava had guided me right down into the low-level detail of the services that we were running in our compute environment, named the exact instances that were starting to chew through our money, produced a report for me that showed that this was almost a direct correlation to the cost growth that we were seeing, which meant that we were able to get on top of it pretty much immediately.
