Jarvis Analytics uses pentesting and compliance automation to set itself up for security posture success

Jarvis Analytics built a security and compliance program with Cobalt & Drata to accelerate the due diligence process.

Jarvis Analytics is a dental analytics platform that provides comprehensive business analytics tools and actionable workflows to help dental businesses use data to diagnose problems, strengthen decision-making, and improve business and clinical performance. Founded in 2017, Jarvis Analytics is being used in thousands of dental practices and has grown 20x in the last four years.

The team at Jarvis Analytics, led by Steven Maroulis, Founder and CEO, leveraged Cobalt & Drata’s offerings to create and scale their foundational security program ahead of a recent acquisition by Henry Schein One. In addition to the acquisition, and the stringent requirement needed for HIPAA compliance, Jarvis Analytics felt a responsibility to actively show their customers how seriously the organization takes the security of their sensitive information so that they could feel confident in Jarvis Analytics’s commitment to upleveling their security and compliance. Some of the biggest and fastest-growing dental businesses, such as MB2 Dental, DECA Dental, rely on Jarvis Analytics to unlock their business potential.

Drata is a security and compliance automation platform whose goal is to monitor and streamline the SOC2 and ISO process. The team at Jarvis Analytics relied on Cobalt’s Pentesting as a Service (PtaaS) platform, the Drata platform, and worked closely alongside Ashley Hyman, Drata’s Vice President of Customer Success, to create and scale their foundational security program ahead of their recent acquisition by HSO.

Jarvis Analytics had to move fast to find the best providers with what they needed to build out their security and compliance program, especially while doing so during the due diligence process. Looking for partners that were flexible, and had incredible customer service and support were top priorities for the Jarvis Analytics team, as well as platforms that would easily integrate into their existing tech stack and would map to systems Jarvis Analytics already has in place, such as Github and Slack.

The Drata and Cobalt platforms were easy for the Jarvis Analytics team to adopt and use. Jarvis Analytics took advantage of Drata’s intuitive onboarding checklist and policy center, and the support of their dedicated customer success manager. On their first call with Drata, Jarvis Analytics was able to connect all of its key infrastructure and systems and begin setting up its policies, allowing them to quickly invite customers into the platform.

Through Cobalt, Jarvis Analytics was able to easily integrate using Slack to communicate directly with pentesters into their processes and loved how they could freely communicate back and forth on findings as soon as they were found by the pentesters on the project, get instant updates, and ask questions in real-time instead of having to wait weeks for a final report as the only communication. However, the true differentiator for Maroulis was that unlimited retesting was included in the scope of the test - as someone working on a tight timeline and working towards compliance requirements and acquisition, he didn’t want to have to re-engage with another provider for retesting, which would have added significant time and cost.
