Company Overview

Titan DMS Pty Ltd is a cloud-based Dealer Management System (DMS) provider headquartered in North Lakes, Queensland, Australia, serving automotive dealers and manufacturers globally with an integrated platform covering sales, service, parts, finance, CRM, and analytics. Their solution unifies dealership operations into a single secure SaaS platform and supports tens of thousands of users across multiple regions.

Business Challenge

As Titan expanded its global footprint and onboarded larger dealerships and enterprise automotive OEMs, buyers and partners began requiring independent assurance of information security, availability, and governance in order to progress procurement and vendor risk reviews. While Titan’s platform was architected on enterprise technology stacks with secure service integrations and encryption, the company did not have formal, audited, enterprise-grade compliance evidence to back its security posture.

Key Challenges

  • Growing enterprise demand for compliance evidence: Prospective partners increasingly required SOC 2 reports as a contractual or procurement prerequisite.
  • Complex, integrated system environment: Titan’s cloud-native platform touches sensitive customer and operational data across modular services and APIs.
  • Gap between practice and documentation: Security practices were implemented — but did not yet have formal documentation mapped to widely accepted audit criteria.

Without a formal SOC 2 program, Titan risked longer sales cycles, missed enterprise opportunities, and continual resource drain responding to bespoke security questionnaires.

Cyber Forte’s Solution

Cyber Forte partnered with Titan DMS to design, build, and operationalize a SOC 2 compliance program aligned to the AICPA Trust Services Criteria and tailored to Titan’s SaaS architecture.

Strategic Initiatives

1. SOC 2 Readiness Assessment & Gap Analysis

Cyber Forte led a comprehensive readiness assessment covering:

  • Policies and procedures
  • System architecture and data flows
  • Access controls, logging, and monitoring
  • Vendor and third-party risk
  • Incident response and change management

This mapped Titan’s existing state to the SOC 2 control requirements and highlighted priority areas for remediation.

2. Security Program Formalization

With Cyber Forte guidance, Titan established:

  • Documented security policies aligned with SOC 2 criteria
  • Standardized procedures for access provisioning, logging, DR/BCP, and incident response
  • Control owner assignments and evidence collection workflows

This moved Titan’s informal practices into audit-ready operational controls.

3. Automated Evidence Collection & Continuous Compliance

Cyber Forte introduced tooling and workflows to automate:

  • Cloud configuration validations
  • IAM and access provisioning reports
  • Audit logs and system change records

Automation significantly reduced manual effort and improved audit evidence quality.

4. External Audit Readiness & Support

Cyber Forte worked alongside Titan and the third-party audit firm to:

  • Prepare system descriptions and control narratives
  • Collect and organize evidence packages
  • Guide audit kickoff, walkthroughs, and evidence submission

Results & Impact

With Cyber Forte’s support, Titan achieved SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, validating its controls for:

  • Security
  • Availability
  • Confidentiality

as independent, continuously operating over the evaluation period.
