Case Study: HackerRank cuts compliance bandwidth 20% and gets a SOC 2 Type 1 report with Sprinto
Key results
The challenge
HackerRank runs technical skills assessments used by enterprises including Adobe, Atlassian, and Zynga to hire developers, so security due diligence is part of every enterprise engagement. Customers routinely required either a SOC 2 report or completed security questionnaires, and responding manually pulled engineers away from building product. HackerRank wanted enterprise-grade proof of security readiness without placing ongoing weight on its technical team.
The solution
HackerRank used Sprinto to organize a SOC 2 program, integrating the platform to run automated checks on controls mapped to three Trust Service Criteria. It delivered security training to its 300+ employees through Sprinto and used continuous monitoring to keep infrastructure such as GitHub under ongoing observation.
“We didn't know a lot about SOC2 but it was easy to follow Sprinto's guided implementation plan. A bi-weekly call of 30 minutes is all I ended up spending on my part.”

The results, in context
HackerRank reached compliance readiness in a matter of weeks and received a SOC 2 Type 1 report that customers could download directly, reducing repeated security-questionnaire work. The company reported a 20% decrease in bandwidth spent on compliance tasks, and its CTO spent only a 30-minute bi-weekly call on the rollout.
