Cyber Forte Case Study: Achieving ISO 27001 & SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance for Titan DMS

Get ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance stress-free with Cyber Forte, including governance support, audit readiness, and continuous compliance guidance delivered by leading cyber security and compliance experts across Australia and New Zealand.

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

  • Enterprise customers increasingly required ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type 2 reports as part of procurement and vendor assurance processes.
  • Security controls and operational practices existed but were not centrally governed under a formal Information Security Management System (ISMS).
  • Evidence collection, compliance tracking, and audit preparation activities remained largely manual and resource intensive.
  • Titan’s complex SaaS ecosystem, APIs, integrations, and global operational footprint increased governance and risk management requirements.

Without formal compliance programs, Titan risked longer enterprise sales cycles, increased operational overhead from customer security reviews, and reduced ability to demonstrate ongoing security assurance maturity.

Cyber Forte’s Solution

Cyber Forte partnered with Titan DMS to design, implement, and operationalise an ISO 27001 aligned Information Security Management System (ISMS) alongside a SOC 2 Type 2 compliance program tailored to Titan’s cloud-native SaaS architecture and operational environment.

Strategic Initiatives

1. ISO 27001 & SOC 2 Readiness Assessment

Cyber Forte conducted a comprehensive readiness assessment covering:

  • Security policies and governance processes
  • Cloud infrastructure and system architecture
  • Access control, logging, and monitoring controls
  • Vendor and third-party risk management
  • Incident response, business continuity, and operational resilience

This assessment mapped Titan’s existing environment against ISO 27001 requirements, Annex A controls, and SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria to identify governance, operational, and compliance gaps.

2. ISMS & Security Program Formalisation

Cyber Forte worked closely with Titan DMS to establish:

  • ISO 27001 aligned Information Security Management System (ISMS)
  • Security governance policies and procedures
  • Risk assessment and risk treatment methodologies
  • Standardised access management and monitoring procedures
  • Business continuity, disaster recovery, and incident response processes
  • Formal control ownership and compliance accountability structures

This transformed existing operational practices into formally documented, audit-ready, and continuously governed security controls.

3. Continuous Compliance & Evidence Automation

Cyber Forte introduced structured workflows and compliance processes to improve operational efficiency and audit readiness, including:

  • Automated cloud configuration validation activities
  • IAM and access review reporting workflows
  • Audit log and system monitoring evidence collection
  • Compliance evidence management and control traceability

These initiatives reduced manual compliance effort while strengthening continuous monitoring and operational governance maturity.

4. Audit Preparation & Certification Support

Cyber Forte provided hands-on support throughout the ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type 2 audit readiness journey, including:

  • ISMS scope and system description preparation
  • Internal audit and management review guidance
  • Evidence collation and compliance mapping
  • Audit walkthrough preparation and support activities
  • Coordination with external certification and audit bodies

This ensured Titan approached certification and attestation activities with confidence, structure, and operational readiness.

Results & Impact

With Cyber Forte’s support, Titan DMS successfully strengthened its security governance, operational resilience, and compliance maturity through ISO 27001 aligned ISMS implementation and SOC 2 Type 2 operational control readiness.

Team Credentials

Why This Matters

In highly connected SaaS and automotive technology environments, organisations increasingly require formal security governance, operational resilience, and independently validated compliance maturity.

By implementing ISO 27001 aligned governance and SOC 2 Type 2 operational assurance practices, Titan DMS transformed information security into a structured, scalable, and continuously improving capability that supports long-term growth, enterprise trust, and operational resilience.

WhoThis Is For

This case study is especially relevant for organisations that:

  • Operate cloud-native SaaS platforms handling sensitive or operationally critical information;
  • Require ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type 2 assurance to support enterprise growth;
  • Want to transition from informal security practices to structured governance frameworks; and
  • View information security and compliance as strategic enablers for scalability, trust, and long-term operational resilience.
